THE DARK TRUTH Of Being A K-POP Star • Video
It looks like K-Pop stars are truly living the life. They have screaming fans and hit records. What else could they want? But there is a disturbing truth behind being in the Korean Pop industry. Here is the Dark Side of Being a K-Pop Star.
First, the bands may be making money, but they aren’t exactly living in the lap of luxury. Most bands tend to live together in what are called compounds or dormitories. For new bands, compounds can be extremely tiny and sparse. It’s not the living situation that you would expect your favorite star to be in, is it?
Second, they are encouraged to go on extreme diets. In this industry, thin is always better. You can find stories everywhere of K-Pop stars who only eat one meal a day or limit their calories to a measly 600 a day. One band was even rumored to just drink water for a week before they were introduced to the world.
Finally, when dieting isn’t enough, stars are persuaded into getting plastic surgery. The KPop industry is so obsessed with perfection that stars who want to make it big usually must turn to the knife. These procedures can range from a simple nose job to bone shaving.
Whether it be their love lives, the mental and physical abuse, or the intense restrictions, there is a lot that you don’t know about the lives of your favorite K-Pop stars. Stay tuned to The Dark Side of Being a K-Pop star to find out why one idol was forced to shave her head.

[@badbadbadguy3730]

Tbh it’s sad how people r using Jonghyun’s death for views. If he was still alive you wouldn’t have made this video and I don’t think if he was still alive anyone would be addressing this. Jonghyun deserves more respect and love and he deserved much more back when he was alive☝️ Love our idols and appreciate them while you can because you don’t know what they could be going through❤️ sry just had to say this🌸 Rip Jonghyun ❤️

[@jrobi501]

That One Friend I know we heard this before but people die everyday all ages sometimes killed intentionally and by accident. Whether you like it or not this was his choice is it a good one thats where you decided. He's a star you know his name and brand thats the only reason youre saying it's heartless. Once you put yourself out there you will always be judged even after death. Oh and lets also take into consideration he was in the thumbnail he wasent even talked about. The day he died multiple vids were made starting controversy which personally insist of helping the problem but fueling the fire for this too happen again.

Spice _bon and I would love to, if my death can be a voice for the victims of the industry. Why not?

[@bigbongers4261]

Dayummallu Jonghyun didn't die because of "the dark side of kpop" but because of the depression he had while being an idol, the schedules and everything on top made it worse. He struggled with inner demons but he knew he was loved by so many people yet his mental health was slowly consuming him .He couldn't really cope with the fame but he stayed for the fans, his members, and because of his love and passion for making music and performing. The industry has barely gotten better and I think it's disrespectful to put his memorial picture as the thumbnail for views and clicks from Jonghyun and SHINee fans alike.

[@AllegroFitnessLondon]

aren't akb48 from Japan? :s

[@actualemma]

Using Jonghyun as the thumbnail is really disrespectful, please change it. He only just died a few days ago and this videos is not about him, his death wasn't caused by the "dark side of the kpop industry" it was caused by his depression, we can't erase that, and shouldn't use his image for views, especially not so soon.

[@hyucoh]

Emma Chambers I agree 🙁

[@shanaya5177]

I was thinking the same thing.They shouldn’t have use Jonghyun as the thumbnail

[@emeliepersson3726]

My thoughts exactly. Given the last words and his will, Jonghyun did not suffer because of the "dark side of the kpop industry", rather it was his own artistry that left him feeling empty. He could not acknowledge his own growth and talents even when other saw it. Even when he himself knows that he did well, he could not feel it. By constantly blaming it on the kpop industry, the media are ignoring another major problem in society, mental illness.

[@TaroT22K]

[@taesguccibag7241]

The thumbnail needs to change. You cannot use someone's fucking funeral picture! That's a huge insult to the person and to his fandom. Please change it.

[@stan2483]

Let me get this straight... they talk about how bad it is to be a K-pop star, they use Jonghyun's picture, and they don't even talk about him or say his name... I am actually horrified, he was a human being who went through so much. Also, they talk about all the reasons why it's bad to be a K-pop star, but I have seen so much evidence that says otherwise. Idols being friendly with their fans when they don't have to be, certain idols doing what they want(Music and personal life) and making music they like, as well as groups who have a close and good relationship with the other members and managers/companies.

The thumbnail was unnecessary and the girl who shaved her head is a Jpop idol not a Kpop idol. To non kpop fans: not everything in this video is true and some things are really exaggerated. Kpop has its dark sides, but so does western music and any other genre. In the past kpop industries were very abusive to their idols but they're slowly getting better. Kpop idols worked hard to get to where they are and do their best to give their fans high quality music and performances.

[@martielupin1981]

Itzel Gutierrez this needs to be top comment

[@greyskylatenight1188]

The AKB48 member wasn't even forced to shave her head or apologize in the video, she decided to do that herself and most Japanese people and media found it excessive (it's so annoying when people bring it up and say Japanese idol culture is extreme, it can be but in different ways).

Madiha Nadeem EXACTLY tbh I really don't like the TALKO because I don't like their content and how they make their videos (example A: this video 😑😬). Also with me being a hardcore kpop fan seeing precious Jonghyun💖 on the thumbnail with the title was highly disrespectful😡. Not to mention their "facts" were just wrong and outdated but they ignorantly put his picture up there and only showed a 2 second clip at the end. The clip didn't even have his NAME!!!😑 and this is why I just hated this channel even more😤. The least they can do is remove his picture from the thumbnail and add a name at the end.
