How K-pop idols date

Hi! I am a K-pop fan living in Korea. There was a funny story posted on Nate, a Korean online community, and it got a lot of discussion. I will tell you what it was about.

BTS, Enhypen,Stray Kids

It's a picture that doesn't relate to the post. It's just a picture of my favorite K-pop idols.

I'll interpret what it's about

I used to work in the entertainment industry and I know a lot of people there, but all idols are dating. It's actually quite common, but fans often say that idols don't seem to have girlfriends. They just date secretly. There are various ways to get a girlfriend, such as at a club, from being a fellow trainee, or being introduced by a friend. And more than you might think, they date non-celebrities. Most idols who aren't rumored to be dating are dating non-celebrities. Sometimes, a friend of a friend asks the idol out on a date and takes them to a party. People often suspect that male idols date female trainees from the same agency, but in most cases like that, it's likely that they dated and broke up while they were trainees. Male K-pop idols with a lot of sasaeng fans borrow their managers' clothes, take a taxi in front of their house to meet their girlfriends, and even make restaurant reservations using their managers' phones. They all use their cell phones to contact their girlfriends at concerts or in the waiting rooms of broadcasting stations. They give each other a lot of relationship advice, and if there's a pretty girl among the broadcasting station or coworkers, they ask for her number after filming or during company dinners. My friend said that famous male idols asked for her number. And if male idols ask for a driver's license, it can be seen as a sign that they're dating. Even without a driver's license, there are many who date in taxis or their girlfriend's car. Rather, if they have a driver's license and own a car, fans will find out the model of the car and not take it, but instead take a taxi or borrow a manager's car. And if both the man and woman they're dating are idols, they often meet in cars when their schedules overlap. If idols don't appear much in their self-produced videos, there's a high chance that they've gone out to meet their girlfriends. Idols often have another cell phone to contact their lovers. In terms of personality, these days, if you have a bad personality, rumors will spread, so most of them act in a secretly rude way. This makes me feel even worse. You can tell they're ignoring you from their eyes. Anyway, don't spend too much money on idols. Most of them spend money on gifts and dating expenses for their girlfriends. The busier a male idol is, the more he feels sorry towards his girlfriends, so he spends a lot of money on them.

I interpreted the comments, too

Aren't you expecting it? But don't let us know that you're dating.

Honestly, I don't think they wouldn't date, since they're so energetic and attractive. But I wish they didn't let us know. I know my favorite celebrity is taking a shit, but I don't want to see it.

Guys, don't waste your time and energy on idols. Just live your lives well and only like celebrities to the extent that they make you feel good. That's it.

If all the ugly men we see in our daily lives are dating, how much more so for male idols? It's only natural.

My blog will be visited by people who are interested in K-pop idols. If you like their music and dance, it's okay, but if you like K-pop idols because you feel like you're dating them, you might be disappointed. But if you're happy, I support that feeling too.

If there are any interesting stories about them on Korean idol fan sites, I'll bring them back. Bye.
