Did DBSK go through what Hankyung/ Hangeng did?

The one and only Kpop group I ever got into is DBSK. Well, not I have to include JYJ & TVXQ Act II. But to me, they are all still 1 group. However, from watching their appearances in variety shows, one will definitely see other groups and know other Korean celebrities. Yoo Jaesuk, Lee Hyori, Park Myungsoo, etc. And I saw DBSK with Super Junior in their Exploration of the human body. There was one part where the MC made a joke by saying "the boss here is a Chinese". So I got curious, isn't this a Korean boy band. Then I did some googling and found out Hankyung is a Chinese national. I also found out about the Hankyung vs. SM lawsuit. But I didn't delve deeper, because SuJu is not really a group that I really care about. It is not them, I just have no more space in my heart, which is filled with Jaejoong, Yunho, Yoochun, Junsu & Changmin.

But one day, while on youtube, well one video leads to another. I can't recall how, but I somehow ended up on a Hankyung video. He was in a Chinese speaking show, and the MC asked him about SM. And Hankyung related the following incident:

Hankyung & Siwon is not feeling well, but 2 hours later there is a red carpet event and SM does not allow then to miss it, even if they are sick. So these 2 decided to go to the hospital, to seek treatment. Their manager followed them. The both of them were put on drips. The manager kept saying they have no time and need to hurry and the manager adjusted the drip to the fastest speed. Still, he kept saying it needs to be faster and they have no time. Finally, he yanked out the drip from both Siwon & Hankyung's hand.

At that point Hankyung said he don't wish to elaborate any more though there are other things. You know what, I cried watching the clip. I didn't even care for SuJu or Hankyung. But I cried because that is not how someone deserved to be treated. Hankyung & Siwon could have gone into shock or worse die, from what the manager did. Have you been on a drip before. Well I have. It is supposed to trickle, and if your dose needs to be adjusted, ie made faster, you can feel it. Imagine that being on full speed? And the yanking part, I leave it to your imagination. The last time a nurse pulled a drip out of my hand, I was bleeding. And she did it professionally and gently.

I read that people were comparing Hankyung & JaeChunSu and they had some comments:

1. Hankyung & JaeChunSu were fighting for different things. Hankyung was for contract being too long and for his own health. JaeChunSu was for contract and greed (read: money)
Well, these people are really so sure of themselves aren't they? They are speaking like they have private & unlimited access to Hankyung's, DBSK's & SM's (I mean the entire SM's staff) brains. How can you be so sure whatever happened to Siwon & Hankyung did not happen to DBSK? Just because Hankyung is not a South Korean? Then what about Choi Siwon? He is a Korean.

2. Hankyung is lying
Come on people. Hankyung had the guts to mention Siwon's name. Anytime Siwon could have come out and refute everything Hankyung claimed if it is not true. And if its really a lie, Hankyung would have just say he is alone. No loose ends to tie that way.

3. It was just one particular manager.
Again, you so sure? What if it is not "just one particular manager"? What if all SM's managers are like this? I am not saying their managers are maniacs with no feelings. But, what if these managers themselves are at the beck and call of higher management within SM? If a manager fails to bring the group he is in charge of, to an event or performance on time, what would happen to that manager? I don't know. Neither do you.

Something light to end the post. 
I can't even name all Suju's members. And no, I don't even recognize all their members. Here are the names I actually do remember, I might get the names wrong. If you are an ELF, sorry:
1. Leeteuk (because he is the leader & in Exploration of the Human Body, they made fun of him being old)
2. Shindong (because of his size and him trying to do the Mirotic dance)
3. Heechul (because he looks pretty)
4. Siwon (because he is handsome)
5. Kangin (because he appeared in a show with Yunho, Junsu & Changmin)
6. Hankyung (because MC joked "the boss here is a Chinese")
7. Yesung (because he was teased in the jumping game. And because Yoochun kept getting the same score as him in the jumping game and they were both made fun of. It was epic)
That's about all. SuJu had 13 members right, I got 7, so at least half ^.^
