Ik all idols aren’t dumb but like most stop their education at high school (some even drop out before then) and rarely do they ever get a college degree, and even if they do it’s 95% of the time online. It makes me wonder if naturally genuinely smart idol wannabes have a harder time adjusting to becoming an idol than their less intelligent counterparts? And if being an idol is a field well adjusted artists with higher cognitive abilities naturally are dissuaded from due to the fact your odds of actually succeeding as an idol are slim and you can’t ever be 100% authentic? Remembering the lack of formal education helps me not be delulu too, cuz while I can’t sing I can practically guarantee no one in zb1 knows more about housing policy and international relations than I do and that takes me back to reality. Like yes I love most of them but all they really are are singers and dancers and that’s just their career; they aren’t inherently more important than a graduate student at college pursuing their masters degree. They’re just normal peeps.
Wow I was just thinking about this and that's under the assumption they were completing high school with full attention and most of them starting when they're really young as well like take nct mark for example he's so stunted like ou.... but I think this is something I keep on my mind regardless cuz that's how I always view idols just some singers and dancers! I get surprised when I see smart idols

I mean apart from the maknae line who just finished school or haven’t yet and they can’t really attend college freely (so we don’t know if they can attend a good Uni etc) the group has had at least two (maybe even three?) members that did at the very least start uni in good universities with good majors so that makes it seem less likely that they are just air in the head and for gunwook who obviously can’t attend a normal uni it is obvious that he is smart
yea obviously zb1 are a bit different since they have fresh high school graduates and high school attendees with uni attendees none of them come off stupid or air headed to me either i was just talking generally like some idols not even completing middle school like ou... but ill appreciate the fact that gunwooks a learner education is so important
