@caramiaus That's right. SM and some kpop fans also consider them failures and try to erase them but they are not failures. They are another type of legend.
@rrgrsub Me too. Sometimes when I see BTS on TV. I realize every time "Was BTS really 7 members?"
Actually I still forgot how many members there are, so I Googled it 🤣
@oldkpopvideos1 And the reason there were also members from ordinary families was that street casting was common at the time. Idol agency debuted idol groups with minimal capital and a short trainee.
@oldkpopvideos1 It’s a bit complicated. Although idols were viewed lower than actors or singers back then and their careers were short, so they served as a stepping stone to enter the field or a quick way to make money.
@oldkpopvideos1 That is why I think the poor and rich members were able to work together. Rich members could convince their parents that they could retire after just a few years because idol careers are short. And poor members were able to escape poverty through their talents.
@oldkpopvideos1 Right. And her grandfather sided with Japan during the Japanese colonial era. After the Korean War, He massacred innocent students and participated in a military. And he participated in a military coup and collaborated with the dictatorship. Her family became rich that way.
@Gaslightingratp@venusjmi Yeah that's right. That's only kpop idol fans. Because the fan culture is different. Even at regular korean band and singer concerts they are louder like a zara's performances.
