"K-pop idols are characterized by the highly manufactured star system that they are produced by and debuted under, as well as their tendency to represent a hybridized convergence of visuals, music, fashion, and dance."
"That is the Google definition we have on idols. But what is an idol to an idol? We have asked a question to several idols by keeping their identity anonymous."
"What does the word 'idol' mean to you?" The interviewer asked each and every one of the idols who had stopped by for the anonymous segment.
"A dream come true?"
"Someone who people admire."
"A Korean pop celebrity?"
"A person talented in singing, rapping, or dancing."
"Someone who everyone follows."
"If you're successful, then someone who others want to be."
"Someone who performs on stage."
"A k-pop idol? Uhh, to me a kpop idol is someone who excels at performing and is skilled? Oh they have to be pretty too."
"A job? For someone who likes the arts over academics?"
"Someone loved by a lot of people."
"Artist? A dancing artist."
"multi-talented artists."
"Me?"
"But two answers stood out from the rest. It seems that with popularity, the definition of an idol changes as well."
"A trap."
"Hell."
