Top 8 Strict Rules KPOP Idols Ever Had To Follow 

We all see how that turned out 🤣🤣🤣

And our sweet Jjong was the bad boy 😂

It was like telling fish to roam on land tbh 😂😂 Edit: grammer

@Ofra Cohen recently, I learned that visuals before were asked to be like that, to never talk and be all mysterious

Heechul was also told to be quiet and act like a prince but he became a talkative princess instead.

and they only manage 2/4 rules at a time🤣

No one exposes sm entertainment more than sm idols

Wait till you hear about my life

@@ak99414 same

@盒子貓狗蛋喜歡獲得黑客冰屋傑里米卡拉奧語言女僕鼻子企鵝 卡塔爾鐵路土星豐田天王星復仇旅行車施樂也門區 not really. Some idols have come out to say how it affected them as grown ups. It would be very difficult to get their normal life back

@盒子貓狗蛋喜歡獲得黑客冰屋傑里米卡拉奧語言女僕鼻子企鵝 卡塔爾鐵路土星豐田天王星復仇旅行車施樂也門區 dumbass even if idol career is like 5-10 years you'll only understand after you lose your youth things you will be able to do when you're 20 it won't be same when you'll be 30 what are you 12? These are horrible controlling things kpop idols have to follow super useless for stupid immature fans

It is their own choice nobody forced them to joign the K-pop

That sound sus though

He did explain on the Stray Kids show. That it was for the idols protection. Because of the stigma attached and the perception. At least it was presented as protecting their image.🤷‍♀️

@@himenyx153 right? I agree

Literally, what an extremely dangerous and unrealistic request. Any kind of weight expectation is an ED in the making..

I agree. I also have a hard time knowing that most trainees are already at that “goal weight”, but if they have the slightest chubby cheeks they are forced to diet. I also don’t like that they force people with different heights, ages, genetics to be/strive for the same weight. It’s never made since to me. I hope this gets better one day.

@@sapphic.flower I have heard that when trainees have a condition that makes them loss weight really fast companys tend to encourage that trainee to put a bit of weight on I don’t know what that condition is called but Its where you can eat as much as you want but never put weight on if you know the name of it please tell me because I also have that condition

The fact that weight even plays a role in wether or not someone can debut as an idol is ridiculous

This one is really horrible 😕 There really needs to be a return to healthy body weights, so much dieting with so much training is just wrecking your body

Channie a real one fr

Oh lots of them do secretly, so at least there’s that - the fan hate though? That’s too much. Keeping dating details and such under such tight wraps and under confidentiality agreements is for the artists protection though, there’s so many obsessive fans out there would would try to hurt the idol or the person they are dating. Very personal details like that should 100% be up to the idol if they ever want to reveal it, and not subject to blackmail or fan hate over it.

​@taya no cell phones doesn't mean no phones period. They aren't banned from talking to family. I know people these days think cell phones are w necessity but there was a time, in my lifetime, where we didn't have cell phones at all. It's not that serious

@We Vibin They do talk to their family via company phones

@We Vibin Why would they have to sit at home waiting for a call? You think the managers don’t have cell phones? Idols are very busy, there’s no way that they can just randomly call when their family is around. Even if they had a cell phone that part would remain the same. You clearly would like to make it seem like idols are being completely isolated from their friends and family because they can’t use their own phones to call. I would counter - what would change about their busy schedule if they had their phone? They still couldn’t call whenever they wanted. They would still miss calls and encounter problems reaching family. It doesn’t have anything to do with access to a personal phone, it’s their schedules that are creating no time. And they knew this, both the idols and their families, ahead of time. Being an idol is a ton of work.

@We Vibin also, you seem to be under the impression that people need instantaneous communication at all times. While it may be true that technology has allowed instantaneous communication - it is not necessary. I’m sure it feels necessary to some, but you are the one making it such, not the people you are communicating with. No one is going to die waiting until the end of a work schedule to talk to someone else. Billions do it everyday. Micro communicating everything is not necessarily healthy nor should it be expected. Not just for idols - in ANY profession.

Actually, j-hope look really charming af without smiling. He give g dragon vibe, I don't really like his goofy smile personality, but maybe bang pd don't want him to be depressed 24/7. At least he smile in stage or Infront other people.

actually it makes sense!

Maybe you shouldn’t believe everything you read or watch if there is no logics behind it 🥴

@@caribbeanstudies5340 It something HeeChul from SJ said himself, so I think it's pretty reliable...

I remember that, but I thought it was because it was before BLACKPINK's comeback and Lisa had changed her hair or something, which would be considered a spoiler. Same reason a lot of idols will wear hats on livestreams right before a comeback, they can't show their new look before teaser images come out.

Jin has power cause hype can't kick him out but other idols don't

cause they are not artist, almost all of then do what they are told to do no artistic direction coming from them

@@sofypi7493 that’s not strictly true. Many of them are actual artists, and later go on to have much more artistic input. Some are producers. Some are choreographers that have input. There is an overarching ‘brand’ that is created with an idol group though that definitely is very strictly held to for a long time.

​​@@sofypi7493 like all american celebs create something lmao they re the projects of big hands

True and indians too

When it comes to jimin, he did it himself bc of the criticism he was getting. Momo did it bc of the agency. Both of the situation are disgusting.

@@kanaphan7646 dear still like you said the situation is disgusting and it's really absurd companies treat idols in a very bad way. Can't imagine what'd have happened to Momo and Kimberly 😢😢😢😢dying of malnutrition

Jmin did it himself. It wasn't the company's fault he decided he was gonna stop eating.. and it also isn't anybody else's fault but his considering he chose to debut knowing he doesn't fit the standard.

@@meemaw2200 doesn’t fit the standard ? What are you even talking about. He wasn’t even fat or chubby, he had baby fat on his cheeks and thats it. What you’re saying is exactly why idols are dieting and putting themselves in danger.

And Jimin's 'tough guy' macho image in the beginning. He really hated that. I watch 'No More Dream' and think...who are these guys?? 😅 I'm glad they didn't have to put up the facade for too long.

Jin being "bright and energetic" is a persona, too, though. He has talked a lot about not having many friends, sleeping 12+ hours a day and struggling to eat enough when he has no schedule. His song "Abyss" is about his mental health issues. But he prefers to keep the atmosphere light and funny when he's around others on camera.

But at least with other idol groups under Hybe, BTS can now get to interact with other idols. I always felt a lil sad for them before coz while they’re having fun, it’s always just them. Now, I see them doing dance challenges with other idols and it’s cute, coz it’s one of the things I love about SM, YG, JYP families -- the interaction with other idols. Hopefully they will also get to freely interact with others from other companies and actually do more Korean variety shows.

Are you sure, though? I think BTS have friends (even female friends) but ARMY always make controversies about it, so they learned to remain private about it. Jin is friend with LABOUM SolBin, and she was hardly critized for it. SUGA is friend with SF9 ZuHo (and ZuHo is also friend with RV Wendy), so it's possible SUGA is also friend with RV since they know since debut. SUGA is also a friend of IU to some extend. V is friend with SNSD Yoona and EXO BaekHyun. JiMin is friend with EXO Kai and SHINee TaeMin... And so on...

@@jl1836 they are not allowed to talk about other groups. They cannot promote or encourage them publicly. Jimin’s friendship with Taemin shocks me quite honestly. I suppose they pay some lip service to the likes of BingBang, Rain and Taemin but that’s it. Suga has this RU-vid talk show now - all of his guests are BTS or other Hybe talent like SVT or TXT. It’s like he is working for the PR and promotion department of Hybe it seems.

Not to mention Dahyun said when she was a trainee, the trainees and stuff always got meal coupons for restaurants around the JYP building

Starvation diets don't make people look like they are "in shape". They just make them skinny and they might make them crave fast food even more. That could lead to an eternal battle between fast food binging and dieting instead of just eating healthy and having enough energy to exercise.

You heard right. As an old ARMY, I can testify, the treatment they got from Korean medias during their first 5 years was horrible. So much underhanded stuff, haughty condescendance, backhanded comments..., even blatant lies, public defamation, fabricated lawsuits and disregard of protocols and professional rules by journalists and broadcasting stations were happening. People really acted like entitled a..h.les to BTS, BigHit ans their staffs just out of prejudice and an inflated sense of mean superiority towards a lesser, struggling artists and company. I still remember the epic sarcastic fit I got into, watching the 2018 MAMA awards live : BTS got a presidential welcome on the show, arriving in a black limo and specially prepared red carpet leading them to the big door. THAT WAS SUCH A HYPOCRITICAL 180° TURN ON HOW THEY HAD TREATED THEM UNTIL NOW. All because they happen to spoke at the UN that year and be congratulated by A LOT of heavy international political figures, all calling the Korean Ambassy to give praises and good words about BTS and ARMYs actions... And THAT couldn't be ignored. They couldn't treat BTS with less than what the UN had showed them ; or their honour and image would completely get spoiled. (They STILL kept doubting and disminishing those Billboard and other American awards wins, though... until 2020 happened and they COULDN'T because BTS fame got way too big to ignore, even for the most stubborn delusional person.) HYBE refusing to work with some broadcast stations and imposing them their methods as much as they can is just them ensuring nobody can mess with their artists and staffs' images, work, performances and well-being anymore - like they did with BTS. Yeah, those 7 are kinda isolated in the industry. But it wasn't out of choice that BigHit closeted them off to its own self-produced media contents. And ARMY didn't become the fiercest and most proactive fandom out of nothing. We actually had to. protect. Our. Boys and company. From. All .that. b..llsh.t. Hopes it clear things up.
