The POOREST Girl Group - The Margarines (Ft. former member Marie) 

Get Cyberghost here: www.cyberghostvpn.com/Ploopy678 What did you think of the Margarines? Would you have been a fan? I think i would LOL cuz I love weird things 😅 Also, be sure to check out my full interview with Marie on my Patreon! She revealed tons of juicy details about how she got in the group etc. (Too much info to include in my video haha) www.patreon.com/members?membershipType=active_patron Check Marie's social media here: - instagram.com/daiteddychan/ - ru-vid.com/show-UC_aP60vIDBfCoSk3fFmzZ6g

the girl getting kicked to the ground for “laughs” is so degrading and infuriating..

Glad that Marie is out of debt and hope her and girls are living more easier lives now. I couldn't even bear to imagine how stressful it must've been for them.

I felt my heart drop when I heard that the members were forced to strip and be physically abused on camera. They really took advantage of these women's vulnerable position... I'm glad that all of them seem to be doing better now, but it's so unfair that the company never faced legal consequences for mistreating their artists. Thank you for such an interesting video!

I'm glad she's exposing their mistreatment. Sadly many idols not just in japan have to go through similar things and a lot of idols are also in debt simply by going through the training process.

How was there no legal action taken against this Saito producer?!?!! He literally ASSAULTED and EXPLOITED the girls!!!

People: *in severe debt* Idol industry: It's free workforce.

imagine debuting in a group only to be given a position where you get slapped and hit

Their Wikipedia page is so lacking it only said "The Margarines were a Japanese idol girl group" 💀

It doesn't seem to be uncommon that poor J-POP and K-POP groups are essentially threatened by debts to remain in the groups and end up being forced to do things they don't want to. But at least they generally get paid and don't have to resort to side-jobs, usually. This seems like a horrible experience. That said, it's good Marie doesn't regret her time there and it was a unique experience. I feel bad for the girl who was pretty much used for slapstick, though, so I hope she'd doing better.

Fun fact: Yua Mikami, members of the KPOP group Honey Popcorn was also in the group some of The Margarine members moved too, Ebisu Muscats. Which was a very popular Adult Idol Group in Japan.

what a horrible environment, so glad marie seems to be doing well now i hope the other members are as well!

whenever she says "surely _______, right?" we know that the exact opposite has happened

Hearing about what Saito was doing to them and how he exploited them for fun was really REALLY gross. Just straight up physically abusing them (I’m sure emotional, mental, and financial abuse happened) for funsies is just hard to see. The fact they knew they’d have to take their clothes off when he showed up is enough to make your stomach turn.

I hope all the members are in a much better place, especially the one constantly being hit. It's so disgusting that they would treat them like that, I wish those in charge faced consequences for mistreatment.

My gosh, these women got abused on camera and the company did jack all to even help them even get a few dollars.

This group makes me think of this new Korean survival show called Button Game. A former MIXX member is joining with $50k USD in debt with hospital bills. 9 people are going to compete with their survival skills to win money to pay off their debt. It's crazy that these companies can make "entertainment" out of people's struggles and misery.

that group manager sounds like a mega creep

i hope that girl whose responsibility was to be abused is living happily now, i feel really bad for her :(

I heard about this group years ago but it's so disappointing to hear how they were treated. Also, why would director Saito create this group if he was just going to sabotage them with his shit leadership? The promotion decisions made were so bad.

I think it could have been successful, plenty of social media influencers make it big with less direction. BUT as per usual a bunch of greedy men in the music industry exploited them and ruined everything.

“Finical Troubles“ the perfect opening

when i heard that they were women in debt i knew this was gonna be about them holding this over their head, i really hoped that i was wrong and they could've paid their debt with a fun experiment but it's so disappointing how predictable men in power are

I really think the girls could've become successful in paying off their debts and maybe even earn extra money for a living by the management making right promoting decisions. But quiet the opposite, the management crew destroyed the group's chances to become successful. I feel like the girls themselves, without the crew and the company could've become successful itself. And being sexualy harrased and being hit and kicked and abused on camera is so disgusting. It's sad to see that the margarines did not see the bright future they were expecting.

Pretty sure forcing someone to strip on livestream for free for their “job” is a form of sexual slavery. I’m sure the company was making money off it

I love how you explore such niche and underground topics. It always surprises me how interesting you can make these videos and how much information you can find

I really hope all the women who auditioned for the margarines are fine now

another example that Japan is not all shine and rainbow

4:55 are we not gonna talk about the girl in a bondage rope 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Awesome video! Also Marie seems like a great person, glad she is out of that mess now

Another ploopy video? Today is going to be a great day.

Everything started wrong when they named themselves as the margarines like lmao

The outfit you wore for the sponsor was absolutely stunning on you!

Oh my gosh, this reminds me of this one infamous Simpsons episode when Homer was so desperate for cash that he became his boss's "prank monkey" essentially selling his dignity doing whatever his boss wanted.

i think the margarines couldve had a chance for some small success if the girls were allowed to market themselves.

Here in Indonesia people who don't have money butter up their bread with margarine since only the rich people use real butter. Now their name makes sense right??

You make really interesting videos

I absolutely LOVE your videos please keep them coming 💕😍

Great video! You always find the best topics!

Music before I'm gonna check them out

I dig your channel. The visuals are nice too.

This is crazy with this group. They would have more debt if they stay the group but I hope that they pay off their debts. I love your videos Evangeline and you always beautiful

The queen has posted!💅🏻

Another fantastic video! So cool to hear from Marie herself and her personal experience. But please please PLEASE fix your screechy/peaking audio! Your stories are both intriguing and educational so I wanna hear but the high peaking mic makes it so difficult to listen in the long run and sometimes even gives me a headache. I could only keep the headset on one ear cause the other screeched so bad at times. It could cause real problems for those hard of hearing or that have sensory issues as well. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

You should make a podcast. Your videos are really interesting and I think a lot of people would like to be able to listen while doing other things

i was just scrolling through your channel then i saw you upload something! Great video!

It makes me so angry and furious that people hit these girls just for “entertainment”, it’s so fucking disgusting. so glad they’re okay.

Finally I’m early here!!! I love your videos!!! Keep going!!! Ploopy, fighting!!! Fan here and Love from Brazil!!! 😱😍✨😘👊👏❤️💜🇧🇷

Wow that's insane! It's not even so long ago, these companies are so fucking scummy! The part with the tv show where they were slapping this girl really disgusted me, how could that even be accepted, it blows my mind.

This made me realized I don't want go to college anymore

Excellent presentation Ploopy!👍🙌👏👏🇺🇸

Random comment nothing to do with the actual video but I’m just so excited for when you hopefully make the third part of your end of year kpop debuts they are some of my favorite videos of yours love your videos ❤️

Your production quality is insanely impressive in your videos. Not only are they very informative but the editing is on point. Keep up the great work!!

omg really feel sorry for these girls

Now why would they name them after I cant believe it's not butter

this honestly disgusting, imagine being lured into a management company that strips you forcefully and doesn't even pay you their situation seemed worse than prostitutes :(

Those green outfits are reminiscent to those from Squid game 😟

even with kpop today.. i still dont know why they stream on vlive so much and never have a donation button.... people would be willing to donate a ton of money to idols... much better than donating to these freaking gamers who are making millions... its baffling

They had a German member?? Cool :) I`m German too :)

The idea is really fun and cool but the idols needed to be in charge

When she was sponsoring the VPN I heard Hong Kong and I was like “why are they saying my country?” And I realized my favorite RU-vidr lives in my country

Besties, ploopy posted❤

That's hilarious but I feel really bad for the girls who had large debts.

I don’t think many Japanese girl groups do the agencies care if they can sing or dance. I don’t even think for AKB48 when reading about them they cared about vocals or dance.

I can’t believe some Kpop idols currently do not make any money… it’s understandable when it’s a small company & the group absolutely ranks (although it is EQUALLY DEVASTATING for the individuals who have given up so much of their lives, most often leaving school to attend training & follow their dreams only to be met with failure & even debt). When from larger companies, it’s a bigger shock, like BlockBerry Creative, which IS WHAT IT IS due to Loona yet the girls have received nothing. I can’t believe it…… & yet I can… the Loona members have not seen a single can’t since debut in October 2016 (!!!) & Chuu hasn’t received anything from all of her solo work. I don’t follow Loona closely, though I have a few songs I like very much. I understand that the company utilized a tremendous amount of money on the group / girls, but to see NOTHING whatsoever? That’s entirely unethical & I don’t care about whatever one says to the opposite. This. Is. NOT. Right! BBE is evidently handling their finances incorrectly & I bet there are some VERY greedy board members at the company. It’s heartbreaking for them. No wonder Chuu left.

This is so funny but sad at the same time ....

It would have been more entertaining if the girls, while wearing bikinis, turned on Saito and beat him up live and humiliated him in other ways.

gosh it's so disturbing that they were being forced to do something inappropriate only for paying the debt. i mean a lot of jpop idol doing gravure but I'm fine with that since they're not being forced. but forcing someone to do gravure while they don't want to is just.. disturbing and inhumane

Very interesting documentary but it's funny and sad at the same time. 😆

How the hell...was a comedian and a director able to form a Jpop group?

When I heard their name "the margrines" I immediately thought of the spread

Loona be like

I feel bad for all the idol that being treated like this

When i 1st heard of this group, I saw video of them handling flyers on the street. I thought 'cool, like how Morning Musume was formed' but later on things went downhill. you have to be extra special to sell that many copies being an underground idol. I hated how some members were kicked around for comedic value. It happened to major jpop idol too (eg Momochi). I hate how backward the comedy scene in Japan.

So the girls busking to promote themselves was beneath the company, but being forced to strip on camera wasn't?

It started so promising. It sounded like a story about caring for the poor, afterwards it crushes your soul and makes you lose faith in humanity again. The company leader should be sued and charged with assault. Also, yes I think it could have been successful.

This reminds me of some of the things I saw on AKBingo. Not as bad as the stripping part but the girls' bodies were always being evaluated in weird ways (best legs, chest, etc.)

Amazing topics

“Nonono, that’s not how we do things around here, we gotta do things The Old Way™️.” Sounds like Japan, alright.

What sort of concept is that!! 😱

Love your videos!!

i really like your account~ thank you for this new video ~~💖

I see where Liar Game and Kaiji get their inspiration from 😅

Can you make one video about boys24? I was a fan but even me cannot fully understand their system of the survival show. This is also unlucky survival show, I think none of contestants can be considered successful or popular

13:44 OMG!!! That’s horrible! 😮😩

They have amazing songs I can dance too

I love your videos

I wish I wouldve known about them! I wouldve supported them for suuuure. I think their songs sound pretty good tbh o: at least from the few clips shown in this video Edit: oh goooood the rest of the video is so shocking, I take it back i would not have supported that :( the poor girls

Found a quote recently that perfectly describes this channel, "Go idolize your idle life then criticize me." Figure it out "KPOP FAN".

Ohhhhh a new video! I'm gonna comment first before watching 😁

ploopy is so cute in her glasses

The producers disgust me. How can you get mad at someone for not wanting to be hit? And I don't like that he made them strip. It would be one thing, if they actually wanted to do it, but if someone is uncomfortable with it, don't force them. And keep in mind, this is Japan. The women there are dressed more conservatively. So there's a good chance these women were uncomfortable in their bikinis.

It's giving DR Music with "Blackswan" HAHAHA

Just when you think thing couldn’t get any weirder in Japan…

Better chances than squid game has

I was a little disappointed with my Margarines lightstick built from cardboard, duct tape and a votive candle. This concept could work in the states with an Andy Kaufman deadpan approach - no skills, no knowledge of lack of skills, and all business about the craft.

I just saw your playlists and why is Chad Future in a playlist called Oli London

This also happens with Thai BL actors, some of them decide to play the roles because they have debts or are poor so they see it as an opportunity even though some of them aren't even gay

I love your vids but I hate that I cannot watch them with headphones because there is some kind of distortion on the right every few words you say. Would be great if you could check you mic for damage and maybe get a new one :')

I never listen to the margarines
