[Hot Take] Why does it matter whether a kpop idol is considered a real artist/musician?

Quote from Kaikat

artist - a person who practices art

Have people forgotten singing and dancing is a form of art.. all idols are artists....

cause they practise art .... just like all actors are artists if they wrote their own roles and characters or not

stop reducing the definition of art to only some forms

I've been saying this since I came to this forum, I got tired of repeating the same thing all over again...

its cause we are the only smart ones here, hence we also ended up stanning same group

Even if your write your own music, if you don't meet certain standards you're still looked down as not a real artist. Just look at all the shit lobbed at rappers from rock fans. Hell people shit on Paul McCartney for writing happy songs.
