Idols are told to perform emotionless in order to prevent deep wrinkles from developing

As a dancer it's something I've been wondering for some time. Some dancers can be very expressive. I think one of the main reasons some companies ask their idols to perform as emotionless as possible is for prevention of deep wrinkles. I know it sound shallow but wrinkles are formed from facial movements. Doing to many face movements over time or the same repetitive face movement in a short time can make someone develop very deep wrinkle. Although botox is used to help prevent face movements especially in the forehead area, botox is not a cure and with each use becomes less effective. I believe to combat this companies drill in the lack of expression to their idols to give them a good wrinkle prevention habit. After all prevention is better than cure and there are currently no cures for wrinkles only temporary solutions.

Interesting… maybe?

Idols use a LOT of skin products, and consult with dermatologists all the time, no matter how expensive either may be. A kfan of my faves for example, asked a professional what it costs to have perfect armpits like theirs at the same place members have been spotted at, the answer was over a million won.

If companies ever tell idols to be expressionless, I think it's more likely they're doing it so that there can't be accidentally "ugly" pictures of them taken.

It's also to prevent "ugly" pictures. I know one group spoke on this but I don't remember their name. They're having practically every moment on stage photographed. If they over-emote fans get ugly looking pictures and they don't want that. So they try to stay camera ready at all times. Hence minimal expression.

Good theory however most idols, from 1st gen until now don't have many wrinkles (or at least it isn't that visible) and weren't emotionless while performing.

That is their job, don't think they need to go that far.

They are mostly given neverending supplies of skincare products and regular visits to skin specialists.

they’re trying not to make goofy faces since face cams are a thing now

So not from over working, sleepless nights, insomnia, anti fans that created stress, not enough energy or healthy diet, or be extremely tired. But to be emotionless while performing to prevent wrinkles. It all make sense.

ahhhh, this explains aespa stage presence

Huh? That's weird. When botox exists
