How do you feel when fans tell kpop artists to rest?

i always think it's annoying and kinda stupid like if someone says that to me i'd be like don't tell me what to do

because most people don't really understand what kind of work it is that other people are doing and need to get done

especially with kpop idols

and it's not like they can really choose not to work anyways

I don't really have a problem with it, but idols are adults too and they know when to rest and when they have days off. So fans shouldn't worry too much or demand them to rest.

The same way I feel when my mom tells me to eat or to wear a jacket outside because it's cold.

It’s absurd. Idols are highly skilled & trained individuals who have been preparing half their life for the vocation they are doing.

No one told Lebron or Messi when they were young, “please get some rest and take care of yourself. I’m worried.”

This kind of thing is usually focused on the girls.

The difference between the two comparisons is the sports industry has multiple levels of regulations,laws,rules etc and western culture prioritizes individual above all else. The total opposite exists in most of Asia, and the idol industry has gained a reputation of having slave contracts and very shit agencies that misuses and abuses their talents from the old sm entertainment to all the spire and hook entertainments out there. Plus the toxic cultural mindset of hard work means you are doing well, that saturated our society where you'd have people work themselves to death or injuries that are entirely avoidable, there's been countless documented cases of idols working with a broken leg in a cast etc when they should be resting among other things like that. THAT'S where this trend comes from where fans tell them to rest, it didn't stem from some toxic controlling mentality it originally came from geninue concern about their physical and mental well-being.

I totally depends on the context.. it's important to recognize that fans telling K-pop artists to rest usually comes from a place of concern and care for their well-being. K-pop idols often have demanding schedules and rigorous training regimens, which can take a toll on their physical and mental health. Fans expressing the need for artists to rest are advocating for their health and longevity in the industry. It's a reminder that behind the glamour and success, artists are human beings who need adequate rest and self-care to maintain their well-being.

It means, they care, that's all. Simple as that! Fans knows how toxic this industry is, especially some companies. I remember when Moomoos did that with Mamamoo when they released 4 albums in 1 YEAR! They were so happy seeing their fans care about them.

Anyone who says, it's toxic, or it's bad or fans should stop saying it, because Idols are made for this, they have to endure everything, I'm sorry, but that person is a moron.

That's not true, not every Idol is adult, most of them are teens! And most company don't want to give them time to rest. They literally force them to work every day, not to mention the beauty standards.
