Female idols in their 30s are probably very lonely

  • Biological and social pressures in Korea force quality men in their 30s to seek younger partners, this means women in their 20s. Alice's Sohee married a man 15 years older, and she's just 24. But this leaves female idols in their 30s with much fewer options. Older men with much less attractive looks and personalities think they can get with them but why would they settle with them. You think dating is bad, it's probably much worse for female idols once they reach a certain age due to the prevalent ageism. It's no wonder South Korea is the least happy nation.

  • Please feel free to send them m‍y way.

    that was... smart!

  • 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 @@@672b92de-d1ce-450c-b413-c96ce449d070@@@ miserable.

  • 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.

  • Back when women couldn't work they had to get married to a man to survive. Now it's not the case and hence there's no logical incentive to marry someone unless they match your looks and personality requirements, which is extremely rare because those with great qualities are taken off the dating market quickly


    It's worse in Asia because of their arranged marriage system which goes back thousands of years. There were no evolutionary pressures for men to evolve into good natured handsome partners to increases their chances at reproduction, rather it dependent on how rich or influential their families were. This wasn't the case in Africa, where survival skills mattered more than accumulating family wealth. And hence why Africa has no problem with birth rates compared to Asian countries once the economics changed between the sexes.

  • 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

  • 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
