Is blood what it takes to be a star these days?
New music act, Hero has signed sealed and delivered their contract in blood with their management company. The faceless member revealed in the short UCC clip that he has always wanted to be a singer. So pricking his finger to smear his own blood on paper would be considered something trivial to the bigger and better things that await him.
However, the Korean netizens are shocked and outraged that the music industry has resorted to medieval methods of binding an agreement. And the media agrees that the blood pact is totally unprofessional.
In response, Hero’s management released the statement the the 3 members of Hero were gungho about adding that extra flavoring to the signed agreement.
Watch the blood pact here.
The new group, Hero has released their new song, “Only a day” (하루만) but not their faces.
Check out their new video here:
all for publicity
attention attention attention. frm suicides to these kind of stunts. all for attention..
eww why would you ever suggest that?
ewwww what the heck?!
haha this is something id expect from father sm!!! lololol
there was a korean man who tried to sue another korean man for breach of contract on a contract that was signed in blood.
The judge threw out the case.
that happened in california a few years ago
eeeew
i wish that method was only used for indigestion and smeared on a piece of kleenix, and not for some mafia-like contract.
seriously, as if your signature and your own stamp isn’t enough?
what the hell….what has this world turn into?!
that’s TERRIBLE! :[
publicity stuuunnnttt
WHATEVER.
If they wanna use blood, good for them. Prob jsut the statement that we’ll bet our lives on this
Ugghhh o_0
I think this was a nasty way of getting a jump start boost in popularity and attention…
There is no legal difference between signing a contract in ink (or with a stamp, as they do in Korea) or in blood. It was absolutely unnecessary.
ooh nice song XD
uh…. sg wannabe wannabees much?
amazing song..
i think he’s trying to show his extreme dedication, but to be honest, i feel as though it’s a bit too extreme. a little barbaric and unnecessary. but a .. sweet symbolism.
the music doesn’t sound like anything new to me
sg wannabe wannabes
…wtf
ain’t necessary, you know?
soo scary!!!!! i was shocked abt the name HERO…its the same like ma fave youngwoong-ie! hahaa
why are DBSK fans so paranoid about other people having the same names as their idols, it’s not doing anything to hurt them geez
Oh Thats pretty bad! its good for his publicty and fame but not for his soul.
I love it. That’s hilarious and ironic because it’s so accurate. At least they’re keeping it real now. Instead of hiding the fact that they have you down to your blood in those contracts anyway. I think it shows more authentic communication than before.
But it also goes to show that young bands still believe in trying to get that brass ring. They think that the major record labels have some magic potion or secret to launching their careers. It’s “BS” because all the majors have is money. Sure…that’s the fast way to reach a broad audience but it’s the lazy way out. It’s a fireball ride into the sky and a faster meteor ride burning back to the ground.
How about trying a little hard work? It can all be achieved if you spend the time and do the work. You don’t need big bucks. You need great songs and to be committed to doing what you love (making music) for your lifes work. Doing the ground work will build a better solid base for your tower of success to stand on.
Sure it gets so big that you may need a team at some point but don’t sign away your future (ie: 3 option deal and high% of publishing…your retirement). Those big labels will tie up your whole life and never let you go.
All I’m saying is be unique and creative. Work hard to share it with the world. And find success in the “now”, not the “when”. Because the “brass ring” tarnishes fast.
I truly wish you lots of luck and success too.
weeeeee!

just like Naruto when he made an agreement letter for calling a big frog with Jiraiya sensei. He also used his blood to sign the letter, haha…
Oh, blood pact is sacred IMO. Shame they use this for a public stunt.
i guess they mean for him to work hard! Work with with major sweat and blood…they are just doing it literally….
His getting alot of publicity too because of it…
Eee.
wow o@O
nasty
that’s so corny
the names are getting shorter and shorter (:
first it goes like wondergirls, girlsgeneration, super junior….
now we have 2pm, 2am, hero……LOL
Erm yeah there’s this thing called DNA fingerprinting; ever heard of it? GOSH!
Hmm.. seems like this is their method of gaining attention.
It’d better not influence any other people that are planning to make a debut :[
Noooooo why have they copied another celebs name? That name belongs to JaeJoong
Anyway I hope they are successful, but seriously please change the name otherwise they’ll have to deal with Cassiopeia- AND ME! LOL
mmmm blood…
one of them voice is just like one of monday kiz member thay boy that motor accident…i miss him a lot…especially his voice..
O___________o
Weird….the blood wasnt even smeared on in a neat way…all smothered like a bloody death.
Wow. I agree with many people here, if that’s the signers choice to be “gungho” about it and go as far as blood signing, so be it, but if that’s not the case, this is simply ridiculous.
EW.
this isnt extra flavouring. more like, extra disturbing.
gosh.
ok…that’s sick.
Their vocals remind me of F.T Island o___o. WTF. They better change their group name if they don’t wanna deal with cassies LOL.
O_O
Is it a music industry or are they gangsters?
