You’re right honestly I started to love myself so much because I noticed these celebrities are mainly fake and don’t love themselves and LIVE TO PLEASE OTHERS

I’m born with physical traits that people get surgery for so why am I not as confident as idols and shit?! I am starting to become more and more confident

I always had been complimented by people and never saw it but after seeing how much people obsess over anyone and anything I’m in love with myself more bc they’re not that special haha

I’m sure celebrities are nothing like what we see we only see the good things, we know absolutely nothing about their personalities and the bad sides (everyone has bad sides!!!!)

So yeah it annoys me when people praise idols like they’re some otherworldly creatures when they’re just humans who went on a different path like that’s literally the ONLY difference

I’m not that into KPOP, I have my crushes, but I’m not obsessed with any idols in that way - like if I were to meet them, I’d be nervous but I wouldn’t like die lmao

They’re the group thag got me INTO KPOP

I heard BP and BTS here and there on my Spotify, but when a stray kids song came on for the first time I was like uno what I wanna watch this music video

Since then I was sold and I found myself a Stan after a week lmao

I was hella shocked that people didn’t like most their music? In the UK we looooooooooooove those beat drop types like rave type of music, so it was so easy for me to love a lot of their songs - acrually I love their EDM more than their more vocally heavy ones - but even then their EDM songs have vocal parts which are amazing!!!!!

So yeah honestly their music got me into them, then Hyunjin and Chan from the music video, then I ended up watching everything SKZ related

I wasn’t even like this after watching BP’s movie lmao

Now I can’t really get into other groups cos they just aren’t as interesting as SKZ - ITZY HAVE RECENTLY CAUGHT MY EYE THO!!!!

I voted yes

BUT as a dental student - who is going to graduate next year, I really needed this year of practical experience to set my skills in stone

Now I feel like I’m super behind

But I’m not too stressed I can just relearn and pick it all up again in the future And EVERYONE else is in the same boat

For theory I’m loving these online classes!!! No stress about writing around between lesson, I’m not nearly as tired, I can sit and just grab food if I’m hungry without any disturbance lmao it’s great

Quote from minsootheboy

i told a coworker to stop working here and go after her dreams, before she gets seriously ill.

She died in the beginning of this year due to cancer. I mean she just turned 30.

I don't think i'll be able to forget this.

Wow that’s so sad oh dear

Quote from nanako_daniel

huh? But he said about his mum 's death notbhis death

Yeah he had a feeling of death coming though

And it just turned out to be him and not his mum

No offense but I’ve seen ur posts a lot and am genuinely concerned

Are you ok? Like mentally ? Maybe is good to visit a doctor in regards to mental health

No I am not trolling or being rude but ur posts raised concern for me

Good luck!

As in something you’ve came across online?? Not in real life

For me it was coming across this girls account who died in a car crash, and her last tweet was along the lines of “13 hour drive someone kill me”

I believe it was 13/16/18 hours one of those

I was and still am shook to the core

She literally spoke into existence her own death and since then I’ve noticed it happen in my real life (a friend at my uni said he felt like his mums time would be up soon and he was desperate to fly back and visit her, so he booked a ticket for the following month, a week later he died - and I was one of the last people to see him hours before his death, he was acting super weird, I think people can just tell when it’s their time you know? Whether subconscious or not)

Anyways damn that got dark asf

I LOVE BGC

My fav is season 9 with Christina, Roma and Erika :D :D :D :D :D that was a WHOLE MESS

Yes!!! I love trolls

They crack me up lmaoooo it adds a little SPICE

Quote from Afriyieau1

Sing live. You are a vocalist whose job is to sing. If not what else are you doing in the music industry?

I can understand if they have no control or input in their stage performances. But if it’s the artistes who don’t wanna sing live, I will feel cheated out of my money if I ever go for their concerts.

Anybody with an average voice will sound good after their vocals are well tuned during recordings. The only time fans can appreciate their vocals is when it’s live.

And I’ll rather hear my faves’ voice cracks. At least they make an effort to sing to their fans

Ugh I agree and I’m so disappointed that vocals aren’t even a main thing anymore ??? Like I’m here to listen to music, but some can’t even sing like girl when I can hit the notes better I get so put off the group lmao and this lip syncing shit removes the novelty and it becomes boring, like yeah it’s nice to watch performances but I wanna hear some harmonies, some adlibs, but they can’t even do that cos they can’t sing and have to lip sync

Where even do people see sasaeng info??? I’ve never ever came across lmao

Yeah I don’t see many idols actually doing anything in entertainment after they disband honestly

I like dark - Changbin

Yeah I wish it happened more cos I’m starting to get bored and watch people on YouTube do covers of my fav KPOP songs lmao the live performances just aren’t doing it for me anymore

The lyrics made me sad omg such a beautiful song but lowkey sad for him too if the emotions he’s conveying are how he feels

Quote from JiminieKookie

I remember after Kiseop left U-KISS all people had to say about him was as he 1 year after leaving the group opend up a TikTok account and people were like "his normal live as a husband and father seems to be boring huh? He is trying to get his non existent relevancy back by going on TikTok ..."

Just cause he left the group dosn't means he has to stay away from social media... so what the fuck is wrong with some people?

Besides the fact that some idols still use social media and mostly still have their fans on that websites you often only hear of these people when their fans find something special wich ends in these posts like "former (name of group) member got married" or something like this ...

I saw a video of a girl some years ago who was in a group and as they disbanded she said in the video she was going back to school cause she never finished school and than opend up a yoga-center where she teaches yoga lol and she said her other members got married and have kids and are housewifes besides one who is married and has kids but works in a normal office job now

Wow so they literally just get forgotten and replaced just like that That’s actually kinda sad

Because what I see in the idol groups I Stan, is that their whole existence is dedicated to their careers and their fans and their life as an idol

Even hyunjin from skz broke down crying saying STAY is all he has and for then to not leave them cos of the woojin situation So I could imagine most idols feel like this too, i just couldn’t imagine them all integrating into normal life again

Quote from sleeplessnights

Even some idols in considered top groups could go to a convenient store or shopping with a low key look and not get much attention if you follow their vlogs and vlives (yeah even with the rabid fans and Dispatch on their tails).

Idol life is just very short and hectic. I don't think many wanna keep it up after hitting big or not. That's the nature of celebrity life. Some just transition to acting or variety shows if they wanna keep this life style. Keeping fame is hardwork too.

Just watch Sugarman and see what past singers and groups with similar one hit wonder situation do after their short lived celebrity careers. You can see what happened to some of the first and second gen who are in variety shows. They talk about it all the time. Very few still try to keep up after past their prime like Shinhwa. Most just move on.

I think another member of Crayon Pop is a streamer/BJ. Lot of ex-idols just become streamers at AfreecaTV. Ex-idols and current idols are kinda late at the YT game, but yeah it's an option. I imagine some could eventually go to Twitch and try reach some non-Korean audience like with YT.

Interesting! So they go into online forms of entertainment to keep contact with fans, but other than that unless it’s acting or a job in the entertainment industry, they resume life like normal? But how? Won’t they still have fans that will want to follow their every move and stalk them etc?? When does that even stop even after disbanding and moving on with solos

Hmmmm I guess it’s a trial and error for each group and their members, what each one wants to do, etc but to me they all look like they love their jobs and being an entertainer but I could imagine that is so exhausting especially after dedicating so many years - but what can they even do after?? They have no degrees or real life skills to get even a normal job

Quote from Alex_Murphy

There are too many former idols for them all to find a new job in the entertainment industry. Only the most renowned ones will find opportunities.

Plus, as long as they're an idol, their agency does a lot of the work for them; namely making or finding songs for them. Once they're out, they're on their own. Unless you have solid songwriting skills, how are you gonna do? Even then, most of them are not interested in doing idol music anymore; so it's even harder to retain a fraction of the audience your group used to have.

Yeah it’s pretty saturated, there’s so many I can hardly keep up, i would also like to think those who go into acting have the skills, but I feel like in K-dramas they prefer looks over skills??

Yeah I have a feeling the fate of groups is not the best, a lot of which I don’t see them working outside of a group setting, only very few idols I could see actually working for themselves creating music writing etc, the rest at a push could go into modeling

But this is how the industry works I guess, they don’t provide these skills, or encourage self creativity, they just make them practice 24/7 for 7 years and then move on to the next group

Sad honestly

Quote from keaji

A lot of group members stay active in music industry, it depends on a person what they want for their future. About success - it depends a lot on how successful they were before of course and how loyal are their fans. If the fans are there for them for their music and other contents and understand they have their own live and thoughts and want to develop further, fans are still going to support their solo activities.

And about GOT7, they haven't disbanded, they left previous company and now joining the companies that suit them. They can all make music (their styles are different of course) and are passionate about it + intend to stay in this field, but try other things too. The one doing Youtube is Mark and he's also releasing new song on February 12. They intend to have comebacks as a group again, when it's going to be possible (of course some will have to go to service soon etc.). They even joke about how they are going to promote if the group and one of the solos are coming back at the same time.

Yeah I feel like definitely their success as a group is a main factor, but I feel like the general trend is companies just push out group after group rinse them and then forget them once their contract ends

And omg that’s so good I’m glad they’re still a group!!! I don’t know why I assumed they disbanded!!!

Quote from amalyas

I mean, it obviously depends how famous you are.

It's not very different from western boys and girls band - some of them will get a solo career, others will do something else in the industry, and some will just return to anonymity.

Which, I think, for some of them, is a choice.

Ya ngl I feel like it’s deffo a choice but I could imagine it would be hard to continue the idol life, they’re so exhausted in their 5-7 years I could imagine most being burnt out
