RE: Do you think idols should still finish college?

I think idols not going to college began with Lee Jieun, who took the cover photo for Last Fantasy on the day of college entrance exam

Basically it means someone will stay as an entertainment figure for life, a big commitment.

A person can do whatever it is they wish to with their lives

I don't think they need to at all. Also, depending on their popularity, they may be set for life at this point.

We need to get rid of the mindset that college is the end all, be all.

Not if they don't want to or are not enjoying it.

Five TREASURE members are studying in college even with their busy schedules; kudos to them.

Yeah I can't imagine how anyone can cope with a packed idol schedule even if they aren't doing anything else, let alone going to school full time. I doubt they'd be getting the most out of their classes or networking as well as they could, may as well defer and go later.

they really dont have to

depends on the idol I think, if youre popular or come from a rich family you dont really need too.. but if u have little chance of making it is always good to think of a plan b, esp considering the shortspan of a celebrity life

idk how is sk job situation, where im from its very difficult to have a job to live by without a degree unless you got good networking skills

If given the opportunity, I'm a big supporter for people to continue their study to higher degree...

Explore all options and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision about whether or not to attend college. While college may not be necessary for everyone, it can provide valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth. It's important to consider factors such as career goals, financial resources, and personal preferences when making the decision. When I was entry in college, experts from https://myacademicprogram.com helped me, I am very grateful to them Additionally, it's important to remember that there are many paths to success and that attending college at a later point in life is always an option. Ultimately, the most important thing is to make a decision that is best for you and your unique circumstances.

They can always join the gig economy if their career flops.

Yes they should unless they're from a major company and have little to no debt. Most idols, even ones who experience moderate success, end up with very little to show for their time in the industry. When their group disbands, only one or two members have career opportunities. A lot of these idols are trained since their early teens and become heavily dependent on their managers and companies to instruct them on what to do and how to behave. When they go back to being regular civilians, they face added difficulty due to their inexperience with the real world. It's awful to think about. Apparently a lot of them turn to work in unsavory areas just to make ends meet. At least, those who have a college education can try their hands at more skilled labor. Seeing as Korea's education rate is pretty high, I imagine most jobs require a reasonably high level of education such as a college degree.

If this idol is earning millions, then no.

Just pursue whatever interests them and do whatever they want.

If they want to, yeah. Maybe it can help them years after they stop being an idol if they don't want to be in the limelight too much after being an idol, which would probably be close to impossible now that I think about it.
