Would you ever become an idol? Why or why not?

[jayhvrs]

I personally would not become an idol. Im too lazy to be an idol + i dont like performing in front of an audience that will judge my every move

 

[yunaing]

no, my reasons
1. Extreme dieting and training, with a low chance of actually making it, doesn’t seem worth it
2. Stage fright and low self esteem, would probably be a bad mix as an idol
3. I cant handle any sort of criticism, haters would destroy me
4. Wouldn’t get to live a normal life anymore
5. Lesbian - would have to keep that a major secret as to not get blacklisted. And then you’d have all these dumb fans who think trying to expose idols’ sexualities is a good idea making that harder
6. People just sexualise idols however they please. I don’t fancy it
7. I’m already considered too old for the industry anyway
8. Done things in the past that would probably get out and yeah. I already regret them so much I don’t need more reasons to regret them

reasons why being an idol might be fun
1. I like singing and dancing, being professionally trained would allow me to expand on that
2. If you did get successful, money!
3. Might be able to make friends with other idol members (or maybe not)

No because:
-I am very mentally ill
-Toxic industry (hate culture, dieting, cancelling, oversexualization, etc)
- I am a horrible singer
- I'm an okay dancer and probably could survive with that, but the surgeries I had would make frequent dancing very painful
- I am horrible with languages and would fail to learn Korean
- I'm too old (2000 liner)
- During the times I have preformed on stage I have forgotten choreography before and I concentrate too hard on remembering everything that I don't have stage presence
- I would hate the paparazzi and saesangs
- Unless I debuted under a really good company, I probably wouldn't be paid
- I am not photogenic

No, I don't think I would be able to handle all the toxicity and pressure put on idols and I wouldn't look forward to dieting at all.
But I would love to perform and interact with fans and stuff.

 

[ivediveyyy]

probably not

- ethnicity - im nepalese and tibetan..
- industry too toxic & idols are under a lot of pressure
- sasaeng fans & haters
- extremely weird people.. im 15
- extreme dieting

I could though
- because my singing voice
- I do take dance lessons & practice a lot of kpop dances in my free time
- i don't get stage fright
- I perform in theatre and cultural festivals, and I try and put in a good amount of energy and charisma when doing so

 

[HyungwonsBlondeBangs]

I probably couldn't because I am not Asian, and I would probably need a lot of plastic surgery
Also I can't dance that well, and I have never had anyone compliment my singing so I am probably tone deaf.
BUT, I think I actually have the opposite of stage fright, it's like im more confident when I'm on stage than when I'm not. Except when I have to present something in class-
and I also really want to try one of those diets idols do...

 

[chaechae.core]

I would love to be a performer just not a kpop idol,
first of all, i'm indian-american, to get me in a company will take forever.
. I have a small appetite already, but I feel theirs might be too extreme for me
. the clothingg can be pretty revealing
. my singing isn't the best, dancing is more of my strong suit, and I rlly enjoy dancing but singing in front of other people scares me
