Recently, a topic titled “These days, good-looking kids don’t want to be idols” was published on the Korean forum Instiz, drawing significant discussion.
In the topic, the author wrote, “Handsome people no longer try to debut as idols nowadays. Then, what job do they have? Surprisingly, there aren’t many people as handsome as celebrities who are influencers or YouTubers. Are they becoming models or just work as regular office workers?”
Other netizens quickly join the topic, expressing their own opinions. In particular, many pointed out that becoming idols will lead to a lot of struggle and criticisms over the smallest issues, making the job unappealing to people who have been praised their whole lives.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- I feel like being an idol is the most annoying job a handsome guy can have. You have to practice dancing hard and there are a lot of restrictions on your actions. Even if they were to become a celebrity, they would be an actor.
- Model or actor?
- Seeing how people criticize idols these days… no matter how good-looking I am, I probably wouldn’t be an idol
- I think they will just study hard and go to a good university…
- They just live like a good-looking ordinary person. My school senior was handsome enough to appear in an idol music video as a male partner, but he just lived an ordinary life.
- They seem to lead normal lives. After being praised their whole lives, they probably don’t find it appealing to live a tough, competitive life where criticisms and struggles seem to be daily
