Korean idols are the biggest superstars of our time. True, in order to become one of them, young people have to go to great lengths: rehearse numbers for days, undergo plastic surgery, and monitor their weight very, very closely.
Today, members of k-pop groups can rightfully be considered more popular than Adele, Beyoncé, Kanye West, or any other world-class artist. Millions of teenagers go crazy for sweet-voiced and stylish guys and girls and call them idols. They are really inspired by them and try to imitate everything.
Of course, being an idol is very honorable, and many want to be in their place. In addition to television competitions, there are even special training facilities where you can learn the skills required to participate in k-pop groups. But being there is real torture. As, however, the further life of Korean artists.
Exhausting creative pursuits, tough competition, and non-stop training – the most stringent requirements are put forward for future idols because it will only get more difficult.
An important point of all rules is weight. K-pops must weigh no more than 47 kilograms – regardless of height, age and gender. But the growth of some guys from, for example, BTS even reaches 175 centimeters! In extreme cases, a mark of 50 kilos is allowed – but not a gram more.
It is believed that it is at this weight that any suit will sit perfectly on the idol, and his movements can be easily synchronized with other members of the group. But it is for all this that the world loves idols!
In social networks, the unhealthy thinness of K-Popers and the fact that their image is contrary to the laws of body positivity are rarely discussed. Occasionally, some former idols talk about how they went hungry for days and even fainted from exhaustion. But, alas, they could not do anything, once in the cruel world of Korean show business.
