The interpreter, who has worked with nearly ten idols, elaborated on the nature of her job, which requires sitting close to the idol and translating fan messages in real-time.

"Let me share my story of being a video call fansign interpreter in Korea today. The interpreter usually sits right in front of the idol and shares the same desk (so close...!!) They focus on listening to every sentence said by the fans and then accurately and quickly translate the words for the idol.

Since each person only gets about 1 - 2 minutes for the fansign, time is of the essence. The interpreter must be quick and accurate so that the precious time between the fan and idol isn't wasted.

I've worked with nearly 10 idols - boys, girls, groups, and individuals. Since I work with them in close proximity, and need to look at them due to the nature of the work, I need to maintain high professionalism in order to not get distracted haha. I wrote the memo in the photo - did anyone participate in this particular fansign?"

"I want to say that most of them are really nice in person. After hanging up the call, they don't suddenly turn rude like the rumors say. They even casually chatted with us about the fans (we can tell they talked to the fans sincerely, not half-heartedly!!)

They treat the staff very well, too! A few of them proactively shook my hand after the event, told me I worked hard, and thanked me for helping them communicate with their fans.

They even asked the staff how many albums the fans bought to attend the fansign and felt thankful that the fans purchased so many to support them, even expressing that they want to go to where the fans live and hold concerts there so that they can meet in person.

Her account offers a refreshing perspective, countering the often negative portrayals of idols that can circulate online.

"I've been an interpreter for a few fan signs and don't believe the idols have poor attitudes, as some claim. At least for those that I've worked with, I could feel that they really treated their fans with sincerity."
