Shannon opens up about living in the dungeon, says she's leaving MBK & Korea soon

On January 24, Shannon answered some questions from fans via Instagram. One of her fans asked if she has plans to leave Korea.

Shannon replied, “Unfortunately, I actually do. I love Korea but I feel like I want to be able to be more creative and write songs that I can really connect to and just be more carefree since I know you guys are going to be there with me every step of the way, which I am very thankful for.”

She continued, “So for everyone asking and who have been patiently waiting: No, I am not having a comeback. I am leaving my company very very soon.”

Another fan asked her, “Is living in the dungeon scary?”

She replied, “Girl, you get used to it. Until you don’t get paid at all. And they use your voice and tell you it’s a guide for another group’s song without your permission. And don’t credit you for writing their English lyrics for them. And give the work that came in specifically for you to another artist. And never let you go overseas just ‘because.’ And basically force you to go out on shows you don’t want to go on just so the other group in your label can get a promo or deal. That’s when all hell breaks loose.”

“Stand up for yourself,” she added. “Work hard for yourself. Respect yourself. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. I’m glad I’m done.” She also wished good luck to everyone left, saying they’re going to need to it.

Another fan also expressed their sadness over the news that Shannon won’t be making another Korean comeback.

“I know,” she replied. “I’m sorry. You can blame my company for that matter. I promise to come out with something soon.”

hope she finds her way, maybe she can find success in the musical scene or something...

yeah she give off the vibe of high school musical theater diva I think she should give it a try

[adenar.livejournal.com]

she was scouted after playing child roles in the west end - i'm sure she'd be capable of finding an agent/getting accepted into a london theatre school.

"And they use your voice and tell you it’s a guide for another group’s song without your permission. And don’t credit you for writing their English lyrics for them."

thats horrible and also illegal i think?? like she should be getting at least a little money if she's participating in the writing process..

my only guess would be that there may be something in her contract that lets the company get away with doing this. so terrible tho

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

i'm surprised she's shading the company this much while she'll still under them. that seems like it could cause problems.
as a DIA fan i wonder how much stuff mbk took from shannon and gave to them.

Yeeks. Im surprised mbk didnt make her sign like a nda or something but it sucks what shes been through

[adenar.livejournal.com]

Not that it affects anything but she's English, not American

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

MBK is a fucking mess. Good for her for standing up for herself and forging her own path.

Damn. At least she's pretty young, she can live a normal life or go to college now.
