Aww I can see her mom’s worried face. 😭😭😭🥺
I’d rather have Darth Vader as my enemy than be a k-pop star.
Thank you for shedding the light on this subject! Ans my heart goes out to those teens.
They honestly break my heart watching them give out and give up so much of their own lives just to be an idol and after becoming one which is the mksg unlikely turn for things to be.
I also enjoyed the interview with ghe ex idol and his honest thoughts on the matter!
There is a lot of darkness in this world and nefarious activity played out in plain sight, we all have been given free will to choose to do right or wrong at any given moment and many suffer when this is misused.
God loves all aspects of life and we are very much loved, but He doesn’t condone sin. He cares for each one of us from the womb to the tomb, the body and spirit, but it’s the spirit that lives on for eternity. Jesus our Saviour will be returning soon and we all will need to give an account of our lives: the thoughts, deeds, actions, words and motives done in the flesh, and who can stand before God? If you did not know, Jesus is our redeemer who came to save us from our fallen and sinful nature. If you don’t know Him yet and how He came to restore our relationship with God in heaven, who loves you and wants you to be reconciled to Him, I say to you today: Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes unto the Father but by Him, Jesus is the only one mediator between God and man, and only God can forgive sins.
What is sin? It is knowing the right thing to do and not doing it. Sin includes things like sexual immorality, idolatry, addictions, drunkenness, drugs, watching porn, lying, stealing, unforgiveness, hate, anger, gossiping, and much more. These separate us from God, who is holy and righteous and just. He weighs the motives of our hearts and all of us have missed the mark.
The call to salvation is for everyone. Regardless of your wealth, status, sexual orientation or religious background, Jesus invites you to turn from sin and accept His gift of salvation. No amount of money, social standing, or religious observance can save you. It’s not about comparing yourself to others; the only comparison that matters is with God, and we all fall short, we all have sinned. God doesn’t want our religion; He wants a relationship with us. Good works cannot save you; there is nothing you can do to earn salvation. It’s by grace alone, so no one can boast. Our works are like filthy rags to a holy God. The Bible says the wages of sin is death, eternal separation from God in hell—a fate you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. We are created with a God-shaped vacuum that nothing else can fill but Him.
Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins on the Cross so we can be restored to God, our heavenly Father. There needed to be a sacrifice, and God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, who was sinless, to take our place. It’s like a mother giving away her new-born baby or you giving away your only child to pay someone else’s debt, someone who couldn’t care less about you or love you back. God was willing to do that for you and me.
Jesus Christ was crucified, with nails driven through His hands and feet and a crown of thorns pressed onto His head. He was whipped until His skin was torn off, becoming unrecognizable. As He hung on that Cross, He did it for your sins. He took our sins upon Himself, including the very sins that have destroyed our lives. He was destroyed for those sins on that Cross. He bled and died for our sins, which were buried with Him in the grave. Three days later, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. Jesus is alive!
Now is the time to respond. Romans 10:9 says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” This declaration and belief bring salvation. John 3:36 warns, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”
Embrace this good news today and pray: “Dear God, thank you for loving me. I confess that I have sinned against you. I believe that Jesus, Your Son, died on the cross to pay for my sins. I believe that Jesus was raised from the dead. I ask that you forgive all my sins. I confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Thank you for Your gift of eternal life! I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Remember, it’s not the prayer that saves you; it’s the heartfelt belief and confession, repentance and choosing to trust in Jesus for a righteous life, from now on. Now is the time for salvation. Turn from darkness to light, from sin to salvation, and follow Jesus.
Ask God for forgiveness of the wrong things you have done, repent (turn from them) and leave your old sinful ways behind, and begin a new and righteous life trusting in Christ Jesus, every single day, ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit to help you, and read your Bible and obey it, repent to God daily, connect to God through prayer and ask the Holy Spirit for revelation, guidance, wisdom and discernment.
Its like a mini dictatorship
Looking forward to their songs ❤
this is just sad
Oh this reporter is that idiot clown who pushed RDJ too far by pressing an irrelevant question about his father.
This reminds me of my own idols. Stray Kids says he is happy working from morning to night. Are they really happy? They keep putting out songs while fans are yelling for rest. Even I noticed that they were used as pawns by companies. But I don't think the big guys aged 25, 27 are aware of this. Or maybe they just enjoy being pawns? Now when I watch idols' videos, I just feel sorry. They are like coded robots and they are fake.
Its weird how the one girl speaks broken English but with no accent😭. My ears make me want to think shes faking not being a fluent speaker😂
That is a CULT!!
Im also a fan,
I dont see my idols as my husbands,i would be so happy if they get married and have a life
I will be happy for them.
These types of unhealthy obsession is so bad,for that,we,international fans have to face mocking in our Country.
They arent dolls!!!! They are also human💔
Those girls are all boys on hormones w surgeries.The boys are girls on testosterone.ugh no
A very factual description.Kudos on making it so objective!
Well covered

What about life after Kpop
Youth in this country are so desperate to enter into the world of entertainment. Most of them couldn't make it cuz their true attitude will come out once they pass an audition. They thought they were famous but the truth is it's only their imagination. They can't even sing. They look like a figurine. As it is. It's all fake.
I was a fan of Minsu (or CAP, his stage name) way back in the day. But in between that time, I got older, and experienced more life. Who am I, or anyone honestly, to deny someone of life experiences, mistakes, lessons just because they’re an idol?
Imagine you’re a grown man in his 30’s and in a group called Teen Top and still expecting him to act like…well, a teen idol?
Wtffff
Life just doesn’t work like that. At the end of the day, you can like them, support them. But you gotta live your own life as well.
South Korean women are rejecting men in the country due to machismo, and this is known as the 4B movement.
I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS OF THIS INTERVIEWER… A DISASTER, IT GIVE ME THE CREEPS EVERY TIME I SEE IT… WHAT HE HAS DONE TO OTHER STARS ARROUND THE WORLD… AWFUL…. HE SHOULD BE MAINTAIN FAR AWAY OF KPOP, THIS FAN WORLD IS DIFICULT AS IT IS…
Awful
K-netizens, the worst in its finest.
I tear up seeing that former idol painting and then cutting the roots that are filled with gold with a blood red cut. What he is doing is art therapy. I hope he finds healing. So sorry my man. We are rooting for you.
