it's like i'm still amazed by their all-packaged concept, good looking with the not bad until fantastic singing skill, great dancing and stage act, acting, being an MC, comedian, and so forth.
then i suddenly got slapped in the face when i read an article, coming from a famous american band front man, Mr X. he said music should be coming from inside you, playing the guitar, drum, bass in the garage and blending it with the vocal, not from a music competition, so people are designing you.
hmm
k-pop is even worse
i read a lot of articles, watching a lot of their reality shows, browsing a lot of investigation videos about what is actually behind this k-pop invasion
mainly, they just get the song from the composer, copying the dance from their choreographer, shows good faces and body complexion (tons of them got plastic surgery as we all know) so people will see them as a whole package, just like me
i even reached the stage when i personally thought that they're all just fake entertainer, act like a doll that is played by their big agencies
but then,
i actually forgot. they're all the hardworker people.
don't you ever think to place yourself as them?
actually i wrote this because i saw a video. i use youtube to find an answer about a girl named Goo Hara, a member of girl group called KARA. she was bashed like crazy just because she was the first idol who revealed her plastic surgery in 2010. it was like opening the biggest public secret. yeah, you're not reading it wrongly. she admitted her undergo-knife procedure that was a taboo topic to be told. in that period. and the latest issue was about her emotional explosion in a program.
people are judging her as a plastic idol. and an immature idol.
so, please, can you take a look at tons of other idol groups before judging her so hard?
personally i don't defend her, like agreeing about plastic surgery is a right thing to do. but still, look at her deeply.
Goo Hara was coming from a broken family, she had been living in poverty until she reached her dreams with KARA. she worked so hard to reach her dream as an entertainer. you can check immediately in youtube about her predebut auditions. so it's basically understandable if she has some sensitive topics about her life.
I respect her and her decision about her plastic surgery eventhough i disagree with that. again, another personally opinion, she was originally beautiful even before her plastic surgery.
we may disagree about their (Goo Hara and hundreds of idol group out there) decision about some sensitive topics like plastic surgery, but still we may not forget that their sweat and tears are the main building blocks of their talents. they're not just simply performing without undergoing some hard training periods.
I think what the front man X said is partially true but not all of them are true.
my main goal here is to make people awakened about what is dreaming means and learn from them that they're working so hard to reach their dreams while creating another dream to be reached. human cannot survive without hope, right?
PS : this video is about Goo Hara. I got teary-eyed after watching this, i never thought that some of the idols are having a hard life like her
