People usually talk about big companies like SM, JYP, YG and Big Hit. Even though they are big, these companies still sometimes make many K-Pop fans angry because of their improper treatment to the artists, whether because of contract-related scandals or internal matters.

Recently, though, Korean netizens have discussed a different topic: If the big companies were that 'obnoxious', how bad would the smaller ones be? A netizen has listed 4 smaller entertainment companies that are most criticized by fans. Let's take a look.
