The Korean Idol System Does Not Help People Mature

What made fans more upset than the “false news” of their hiatus was their true feelings of being “tired. I understand how they feel,” said a person involved in the Korean entertainment industry.

 

They are traveling all over the world, and their schedule is very tight. Because of this, in the past few months, the members have sometimes been late getting to the site. And since there is no time to rest or play, the only people I talk to are the members. They are as close as ever, but they have very little contact with the outside world, and it seems that they have been feeling suffocated.

 

In the June 14 video, RM also questioned the nature of K-pop idols.

 

He said, “‘The Korean idol system does not allow people to mature. Fans who had been watching their growth through their activities were left speechless.

 

While the candid confessions continued, there was one fact that was not revealed in the hour-long video. One fact that was not revealed in the hour-long video was that military service is inevitable for men born and raised in Korea.

If he could win a Grammy within the next two years, he could be exempted from military service under the pretext of ‘being active on the world stage,'” said a Korean entertainment source.

 

However, although she was nominated for the Grammy Awards for two consecutive years, she did not win.

 

If I announced that I was suspending my activities for the sake of the country’s structure, fans around the world would criticize the Korean government and the country of Korea itself. As long as they were going to work as solo artists, the members did not want to aggravate their relationship with the country.

 

At any rate, a hiatus was avoided. After concentrating on their solo activities, they are sure to shine even brighter than before.
