Female idols thriving in their careers beyond their 30s {proper revamp}

Quote from Slayurfaves

maybe it would be better if all genders are included so it's not only about women

male idols are also victims of ageism in the idol industry.

For them is probably 40-50.

Lots of 30+ year old male idols are still active and popular, just a few female idols.

It is just the way the world works.

yeah but I see kpop fans calling them old too my point is that we can appreciate older idols from both genders here

Hyolyn counts, but Bora is not really active as an idol anymore.

If T-ara ever makes a comeback then all but Jiyeon are over 30 (out of the 4 left in the group)

A celebrity should be able to thrive whatever their age and if they're still successful and popular enough. Ageism is an awful thing, even I experience it. There's plenty of celebrities in Hollywood that are still going way beyond thirty.

I've seen some hollywood actresses complaining that when they're almost 40 they only receive scripts to play the mom

Yes but at least they're still getting movie roles albeit minor ones.

the key word is thriving though???

what female idols that promote within a group is thriving post 30?

1. Irene - Red Velvet - last comeback - doing pretty well
2. Yujeong - Brave Girls - last comeback - doing pretty well
3. Minyoung - Brave Girls - last comeback - doing pretty well
4. Solar - Manamoo - last comeback - doing sorta ok
5. All of SNSD - last comeback as a group was what 2015 though???
6. Boa - not in a group
7. Yang Jiwon - Spice & Uni.T - no idea
8. Eunice - DIA - are they even around as a group?
9. Kahi- After School - when's their cb as a group?
10. Hyuna - 9muses - when's their last cb as a group?

even the above list shows they are either going solo(ist) route or actresses entertainers...
