I think a lot about idolâs and their socialization and how probably weird they all are, especially the ones who started out young or trained for hella long. On average theyâre at the minimum more likely to be superficial, at least looks wise. When everyone in the industry and your coworkers are a 9 or 10/10 and skinny or perfectly fit youâd probably create an unrealistic standard of beauty. Those that started young never had the time to make valuable mistakes (also they are in the public eye, they had to be extra cautious) so they probably lack emotional maturity, common sense, and genuine depth to understand how their mistakes can hurt others. Even the worst idols have devoted fans who console them even when theyâre in the genuine wrong, so thatâs also a bad thing because it dissuades accountability and gives a sense of confidence of always having support even if they mess up so they can be a little more careless. Ik we joke a lot about âoh Iâd trust this idol with my drinkâ but I genuinely think I wouldnât trust any male idol. Taeil was always a little weird but no one ever expected him to be a r*pist, you canât trust men, especially Korean men (have you seen the insane misogynistic and incel statistics they have?).
yea starting off young, sidelining education, and completely living in a sphere unique to your profession isnt a good mix for socialization like wow the first thing that comes to mind is nct dream and sm artists in general since they pretty much boast that the most from what ive seen i think its possible to remain normal but esp for male idols the fighting chance is a lotttt lower but yea like you said thats also a societal thing for them compared to other industries
