Careful Super Junior! Don't let your real personality show!

Description

Sometimes company's give idols a personality that they think fans would like best.

Sometimes fans exaggerate things said about an idol and create a personality, that they then have to follow.

Whatever the case, Super Junior were not the same before there debut, But if you have to act out a personality 24/7 

then is it still an act?

 

 

Foreword

This is basically an insight from all the members, talking about there image. Please enjoy :) also I changed the title because i t was orignally Heechul focused but then Turned out to be on everyone. 

Disclaimer: umm, I am a e.l.f myslef so please don't get offended by some things about e.l.fs. 

I think I may make a heechul centered one soon, with my original title

enjoy :)

Chapter 1: This is kinda deep. Thank you so much for writing in this POV. I'm a new ELF & although I pretty much understand each members personality by now, I always need to be reminded that what they potray is not always skin deep. So much is still going on as they struggle with their idol images

Chapter 1: awww this was pretty thought provoking. i've always thought it was interesting the 'roles' they had to play, especially in the earlier days when they were trying to stick in people's minds. it's interesting now, too, what characteristics are still there and them, and which they have sort of dropped along the way.... glad you posted something to make people think.

Chapter 1: I absolutely loved it and it made me so so sad. I am actually not sure how much of it is fiction because it sounds like the truth to me. I know that entertainment companies create the images for the idols, but i always hope and I really really want to believe that those idols are not made up. It would be so cruel to suppress a human being and make them be a completely different person that can't be themselves because people wouldn't accept them the way they are. This idea is beyond sad.
I have to admit that I always enjoy Heechul's "4D-personality" and Leeteuk's image of being a reliable leader or Sungmin's cute being etc. etc. etc., but I am also sure that I would love them (and that applies to every idol in general) if they were themselves. Isn't the thing that we love about them their humaneness (of course right after their awesome music)? Wouldn't we love them even more if we'd see them as actual human beings, instead of 24/7 working machines whose sole purpose seems to be pleasing their fans at cost of their own well-being? Don't we really wish for those idols happiness?
That's the reason, why I somehow am happy when those idols mess up and make some mistakes ("scandals") because that's when they seem the most human. Even if their entertainment companies always make it seem as if they did something extremely horrible. Which are normal humane mistakes. Nobody is flawless and idols are no exception when it comes to this rule!

I am so sorry for abusing your awesome fanfic for my storm!

Chapter 1: I really really really enjoyed that. I did. I guess, since Im not an elf, I never questioned idol's personalities though I did believe they were different offscreen. But reading this... I knew you were right. There are so many things in the idol world that are corrupted. Theyre not even allowed to be themselves and its heartbreaking. And but the FANS. urgh
Im guilty as well, but I cant imagine how hard it is for the idols when fans push something towards them. ><
