    Also, Kpop idols these days are mostly associated with cutesy boyfriend/girlfriend image and most fans are teens (usually teen girls). So, being an idol in 20s to early 30s is fine, but nobody wants to see a 40yr old guy doing baby-voice aegyo to a bunch of 14yr olds.

    I agree with you, but I think his herniated disc should also be taken into consideration. While it's sad that he's not with his fellow members, I think he was also struggling with his dancing now due to his bad injury (you can see it on his Tear Drop fancams). Rowoon looks like he genuinely still wants to be in the group despite the busy scheds and his condition, so FNC is the bummer in this situation.

    Kpop idols can be ambitious and versatile, they have opportunities to try many different endeavours so if they have the talent for it, they can also be successful actors starring in kdramas and film. it's no surprise many are leaving to try acting, being a K-pop idol is too pressured, it's no wonder they eventually tire of it. It's great that as Artists, they can do this, they are lucky to be in the business they are in

    There was this Games Caterer episodes where artists under starship, both actors and idols joined. You can see how the actors still can chat during bus rides but idols just slept all throughout. Life as idols is very tiring especially during comeback cycles. They have to learn choreographies, record, go for ads/photoshoot, preparing tours, fansign, do IG/weverse live, doing variety/shows, even maybe compose/write their own songs. It seemed that it was known that life as idols are not sustainable in long run.

    I never thought the process of becoming an idol was easy or fast. Idols train for hours every day, often for years. They must learn dancing, singing, modeling, public speaking, etc. Then if they debut, which many don't even after years of training, they may never gain enough of a fan base to become popular or recognized.

Where as theres actors that are amazing in their 40s who been actors for 10-20yrs and are just starting to get lead roles/recognition. What im trying to say is, in the long run its “most likely” easier to become an idol first (even if it takes 7yrs or more) to debut or get some fans, and then transition into acting than to just straight up become an actor and maybe have to wait 10-20 yrs before you start getting recognised and getting lead roles.

    Idols also built that fanbase with hardwork in the first place. It's not like they came out of the womb and instantly had all these fans for no reason. So while you may think it's easy for an idol to become famous in acting industry, it's actually not. The supposed fame needed some hardwork before they got it.

    Kpop idols are gambling with their time, mental health, physical health, privacy, safety, money and work. The industry is harsh and more than half of it depends on a delusional parasocial relationships that could shatter or make an idol or group. I don't blame idols for exploring other areas in the entertainment industry. I am still a huge fan of Kpop, but the least I can do as a fan who actually cares is try to not return that toxicity to idols and try to support them as humanely as possible. I keep thinking about Karina having to apologize for being in a relationship and many other incidents that are just crazy.

    Before even starting to watch the video, I have two of many possible reasons why Kpop idols are turning into acting. One major reason I think is that because it is REALLY RARE for someone to be active as an idol for many years. I've been a Kpop fan for 15 years and VERY FEW idols that were active when I first got into Kpop are still active till this day. And the few that are still active aren't really releasing new music that often. Idols really only remain "popular" for about 5 years, or 7 if they are lucky. But as an actor you can really only grow and become even more popular as the years go by (this is of course only if they get good roles often and don't get into scandals). Another possible reason is that actors have more liberty to date. Fans of actors usually ship those actors with their costars so when news of them dating come out, they rarely receive hate from their fans. And as we all know, Kpop idols almost always get a lot of hate when they date someone, they even lose a lot of fans.

    in my country you could be +40 and still be popular as a singer.. crazy how they debut a teenager who should be in middle school instead of being infront of a camera with tones of make up on and those who are of age who can easily pull off any concept are called old and outdated

    Idols are treated pretty different to „regular“ musicians in sk. They are aimed to a younger audience mostly (even though their fans grow up with them over time) The mainstream music scene in Korea doesn’t just consist of idols.

    I think have an actor in the group is more of a marketing ploy. It’s to bring in more fans and more popularity. That means bring more attention to the group, and spending more money. Especially when K-pop was still breaking Japan and hallyu was getting momentum. So it became the norm having at least one member who are acting . Now a lot of these idols do get backlash because they are lacking in skill or typecast. I do agree that money is a big factor and not everyone wants to be an idol for the next 20 years.

    the last part is actually my biggest question about idol contract. why would idol not only has less share but also need to pay for the accommodation that the company actually has to pay. if the conpany was to scared the idol wont get them the profit then its ok to get some such as lesson fee for them to cover and half accommodation being paid by each, however the profit need to be half I half or at least 40:60. after all both work for eo or even the idol work for the company not the other way around. I couldn't even understand how the government let such exploitation happen for decades and still no change. also the way the company target young and poor child so the family couldnt afford any lawyer even a mere knowledge about the contract just to trap this idols to work for them at cheap price while still need to paid the accommodation. disgusting system

    That's why idol companies train them for a long time so that they can have a hold on them financially for a long time as well. I'm not against training. But how talentless could you be to be trained for 2 years or more? Unless they have a motive. A year of training is enough. Besides why would someone join a sing and dance group if he or she doesn't have a talent for it to begin with. If I were that person, I will be insulted if I need more than a year of training if I know I am already talented.... unless I indeed just came with a pretty face and nothing else which is still audacious.

And they could have earned so much more if not for SM not promoting properly and cutting lots of opportunities to go outside of Asia. SM is now paying its karma, and I'm so glad artist are leaving and seeing more options for themselves.

    "many of them don't go to university or even finish high school" -- this isn't true. a lot of these kpop dols were top students in their schools when they were recruited. it's more the norm that kpop idols finish their high school, studying while pursuing their careers, and there's a high percentage of them pursuing college degrees or even getting master's degrees. examples are members of the biggest, most successful, and iconic groups like big bang, shinhwa, shinee, btob, exo, bts, and seventeen. in bts alone, all members have received their college degrees and are currently enrolled in master's programs, even as they are fulfilling their military draft requirements. exo xiumin even has a ph.d!
