Female idols in their 30s are probably very lonely

Please feel free to send them m‍y way.

wow, that sounds awful. As a young man, I offer myself as tribute to these suffering old idols. Is Jennie 30 yet?

everything sucks and we are all gonna die alone

as a korean american, I don't feel bad for these girlies because most Korean men are toxic af like most men.

you're either single and miserable or stuck with someone you hate and are even more miserable.

Do u genuinely think a woman like irene would ever be alone for no reason other than personal choice? Lol

Lots of Korean women are choosing to not get married because Korean males are seen as too male chauvinistic.

Some idols like Irene may not marry because they don't feel any male will make their lives better, but some other might.

A few of the Hello Venus former members are married, one or two former Rainbow members are married.

Girls Day's Sojin just got married in her late 30's.

True. This is happening all over the world. China, Japan, S Korea etc.

Many videos on YT on this.

counterpoint - it's not an issue with their ages specifically but rather that they are idols???

and we all know the backlash some of them get for just dating

plus it's no secret that a lot of them have "companionships" secretly lol

It will take a long time for Korean fandoms to change their views, sadly.

Yes, including some parts of my fandom.

I think it's getting better especially with the more older established artists like those from 3rd gen and prior (and who are still active as an idol) that their dating is less seen negatively these days...

the ones I can think of off the top of my head (recently and from my favs) are like

Jihyo and Yun Sung-bin

Chaeyoung and Zion T

Jisoo and Ahn Bo Hyun

and those seemed to have less backlash than say when Karina was suspected of dating

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to insinuate with "companionships," but if something is done secretly then by definition it isn't "no secret." If it were truly "no secret," you'd be able to give a bunch of specific examples instead of a broad insinuation.

that they have sexual partners but exactly who those sexual partners are are a secret lol

That would fall under dating...

I mean maybe there are some idols who are the "bring someone you just met back to the dorms for a night" type, but somehow I doubt there's a lot of that.

it could be dating or could just be casual hookups

I would think it's a lot easier to have casual relationships than date (in terms of trying to hide it from the public)

Depends on your living situation. It wouldn't be more convenient if you're still living with others, and even if you aren't, we know there are paparazzi stationed outside idol's homes, so they still risk getting caught even if they don't actually go on a date somewhere, which has happened several times now. Imagine the consequences of getting caught with multiple people in short succession instead of just one.

I think one's group mates would cover for thee if such a thing were to happen but yes I'm sure the paparazzi would be all over it if it turn out they were having multiple dalliances

Isn’t koreas average age to get married is 30s-40s. Usually that’s the time their career are settled, and money saved to start a family.

I am noticing though an increase rate of women getting married in their 30s
