Hyerin revealed she had to work part-time job when she debuted with EXID.
On the December 8th installment of 'Knowing Brothers', EXID featured as guests as a full group for the first time since Solji's health hiatus. Hyerin told a story from the early days of EXID, saying, "After debuting, I worked part-time without letting the members know. I didn't have much in my schedule for 2 years until the song 'Up & Down' released."
The EXID members revealed they would eat ramen for every meal during that time, and Hyerin continued, "I wanted to be of help to the group, so I worked part-time without their knowledge. I didn't tell them because I didn't want to burden them."
EXID then commented, "We only knew about it after 'Up & Down' came out. I felt so bad."

Hyerin is very kind to work part time to help out. Artist should not have to work when you sign with a label (agency). In America you get a sign-on cash bonus. You should also get sign on bonus in Asia. It should be the law.

Maybe that'll happen by 2080+. I feel so bad for the ones who fail to become successful idols and get stuck owing debts to their companies

A bonus by it's nature of being, well, a bonus isn't mandatory. It's given in gratuity by, say for example, exceeding expectations or a job well done or in the case of sign-in bonuses, a sign of goodwill. I see where you are coming from but If it would be mandated by law then it stops being a bonus altogether.
