K-pop stars are known globally, and they attend the greatest festivals in the world. Everything they do inspires the young generation that worships them like gods. And they have every reason to do it because they are perfect.
To understand how much their fans love them, we must recount an episode when BTS fans flooded a restaurant because the owner stated that he likes another band better than BTS. They also raise money to buy gifts and billboard ads in Time Square for their favourite stars. So, it's no surprise that K-pop stars do their best to deliver flawless experiences for their public. But if we take a look behind the scene, we can understand how hard it's for them to maintain a stainless reputation and never disappoint fans. Some would say they have an impossible job.
Here are some of the statements K-pop stars made about their life.
They engage in strenuous gym workouts and have restrictive diets
No one ever said it's easy to have a fit body, and with tours, concerts, and events to attend continually, K-pop stars have to work even harder. Ho Ryeong, one of the members of Great Guys, stated that his life circle revolves to the studio, gym, and bedroom. When they are working on a new album, they are quite busy and work non-stop. When they're out of the studio, they hit the gym, and when they finally get home, they have to rest and recover because the next day they need to start everything again.
Their diets are also restrictive because they don't have so much time to be active outside the gym and they need to pay attention to everything they ingest not to deter their gym results. Jae I revealed that for him, the most challenging part is to follow a diet. The K-pop industry has established high beauty standards, and all these efforts are needed if they want to maintain their celebrity. They are under the pressure of acting as idols for their fans, so they need to stay beautiful, shredded, and give no one reasons to complain about their attitude.
There's a no-dating policy everyone must comply with
This may be sad news for the fans who were dreaming of going on a date with a K-pop star. Even if it's an unwritten rule, all idols respect it because having a love life would only interweave with their career. If they are single, they look more accessible to fans who can hope than one day their favourite celebrity will fall in love with them. But being single is harsh for anyone, especially during tours, and some of them access websites like EscortsAffair.com to socialise.
The other rule the K-pop industry promotes is that groups should be all-female or all-male, so their fans not to suspect that they are dating each other. The team members are living together and so they can bond and be available to work at the same time. Most of the times, they even give their phones to their record company to resist the temptation to get into online relationships with other people.
