Beyond the dating, while 99% dating secretly anyway , and maintaining their “looks” (which let’s be fr, for most idols. Their entire career revolves around their looks)
What else are they’re restricted on? I use to think idols were practically tied up or whatever (when I was young) but honestly it doesn’t seem like that?
Most go clubbing, drink , hang out with friends,
Whatever “restrictions” they are, is just them doing their job, K-pop has always had a strange parasocial thing that companies want to maintain , and beyond that, I’d say most live somewhat normal?
Are there any good think pieces/essay videos on this subject?
