20120929 - Idols & Dating

My love for my favorite groups go far. I'm thankful. Seeing those idols smile, make me smile. They brighten up my day and give me this sort of happiness which is something only something a teenager can have. It's that innocent kind of love. Not like a first love though, it's less powerful than that but is somehow effective. Seeing my favorite idols performing and thinking, "wow they are almost there" like a proud mother is what make me feel so happy. The days where I'm so tired and exhausted and I just go online to watch a favorite video or listen to one of their songs and it helps me feel much, much better. I don't know. Words can't really express how thankful I am. 

They work so hard to make us fans happy. They practice so much it's up to the point where they give up sleep despite their schedules to perfect their choreography or to hit that note exactly or to memorize their scripts for their dramas/musicals. They go through scrutiny and constantly being under the eye of the fickle public. They have to deal with performances or portions of a show being cut.

And then... when they finally meet someone who makes them happy, their fans, that they work so hard for, will go on and bash whoever that person decides to date. Or perhaps leave the fandom completely. 

Now let's stop there and truly think. Surely, out of all the people on this planet--or rather in Korea, do you really believe that you have a chance to be with them? I know this is beyond rude of me. However you really need to keep this in mind. Our idols are people themselves. They have to eat, sleep, and go to the restroom like the rest of us. So of course there will be a time where our unnie gets married or our oppa has to go into the army. They can't be our precious favorite idols forever. They will grow up and most likely find someone who loves him/her for who s/he is.

"But I don't think A is right for Oppa/Unnie! B is much better suited!" I hate this statement. I'm sorry but how can you truly know that one person is ill-suited for another when you don't know either in real life at all. Idols live and thrive on their images. What makes you think that they probably don't different when around family or friends? I mean, the people I'm closest to might not even know who really am. Now sure, what they reveal to us could be who they really are. But have you seen your favorite idol when s/he was shopping? What their taste is? Do you know what they're like when they're seriously angry and not on variety shows? How do you know that they might secretly be dying inside or suffering from some sort of sadness? See, people are more complex than what you may think.

 

All in all, fans can't give their favorite celebrity everything they may crave as human beings. So it should be in our best interest to support them when they finally do.

 

I actually can't until my Infinite, Block B, B.A.P, and Big Bang babies reveal they have met someone, tbh. Oops.

Completely agree... Those who don't may be mentally unstable

Yep, this right here. I think it's okay to love an idol, because there are different ways to love. In this case, it's more admiration rather than lust or love, because that chances of someone living half way across the globe ending up with their idol is very unlikely. All in all, if we really love our idols, we should be happy for them if they fall in love, and instead of being spiteful, we be supportive.
