Yeah South Korea's Justice system is corrupt. Looking at how they handled incidents like burning sun, molka, nth room etc one can understand why no one stands up and exposes the system and idols are at the bottom of the celebrity pool most Knetz don't even consider them real artists so they have more to lose in such situations. When your own family doesn't support you because it wants some $$$ then there isn't much you can do on your own
Maybe him and sodam just had a lot of surgery or both resemble the missing father more than the mother
He may just like getting the attention of people. Pretty boy look is very popular in korea rn some kdrama actors have done it too. In fact gay fanservice and androgynous look among male and female idols has been a thing since the early 2000s. I found this article recently and it lists many male and female idols who were adopting androgynous looks in 2nd gen and most were fine or actually enjoyed it. T@em was actually the exception among idols for disliking the fanservice part and I believe jm is like him too he doesn't like being feminized he likes to appear manly in front of armchairs.

His sassy comments are often like a satirical comedy on the industry. K3y lived some time in America so I think he is more "woke" when it comes to these issues but he's very adaptable and knows how to get to the top. When sh1nee debuted he used to be the least popular member because he didn't have any gimmick to make him popular in knetz's eyes. 0new had his vocals, jj0ng had his talent, leadership skills and manly persona, m1nho had his visuals, and T@em got attention for being cute but k3y was left out he was assigned the role of being the "Mom" in the group. The lack of attention from Knetz seemed to have hurt his self-esteem a lot and he was rumored to have done self harming practices something he later confirmed himself. He has gotten better in recent years but many still see him as nothing more than a comedian. He is aware of the sad state of the industry and tries to keep himself free from anything controversial playing along with what the latest trend is in korea to survive.
which group?
Many idols have unsupportive families, come from hard situations or take care of their families. Kids who should be in school or playing, are making hard decisions about whether to tell someone or to feed their family. They have to pick between their careers, when most kids that age are in school, and justice. There's no justice for anyone but the chaebols in their country.
Kepler, their new music video. i recommend you keep the video muted if you wish to watch. I just happened to come across that part while skipping through.
Their faces went from Blasian to Caucasian. That's a lot of surgery. The natural skin color went from brown to white, like a lot of idols unfortunately. The pictures below show what I'm trying to say. Found a picture of their mom with them, and I think she was the reason they looked like that. We don't know what their father looked like, so it's hard to say.
Many of these idols though come from rich families from what i've noticed...
yes Lia from Itzy ,Tzuyo from Twice and others ..
isn't the group where is the sister of Txt Huening Kai ?
It caused a lot of problems for both of them. I think some men went too far with Jm and Taem1n, touching their bodies or worse. I think Hodong was the nicest, although he treated Taem1n like the kids he was, or younger lol. When he watched Tae dance, he would imitate him and appreciated his movements. I never saw him emasculate him or touch him inappropriately. Maybe he's a father and nicer than many. He's the same with any young idols on his show.He may just like getting the attention of people.

Roundtable: What’s with Androgynous Idols?
Androgyny is something that is rarely found in Western pop culture. Aside from maybe David Bowie, there are very few instances where male and female celebrities embrace the aesthetic norms of the o…
That's the downfall for this generation. Companies can't force kids to sleep with sponsors or do anything they don't want to. Trainees have their own luxury goods, and parents who can and will sue the company.
Yes that's her group. Knetz are cruel to her.
Yes. How her parents can allow their youngest daughter to be in that industry is beyond me
His fake laugh when he's throwing shade and his sighs make me laugh so much. He adapted and did what's necessary to thrive. The mom in the group is often the least popular member. They're not paid enough to watch the other kids, especially if they're a kid too.
All of his siblings were idols. Her father is a former actor in China. The parents are divorced and the kids lived with the mom in SK. I think she had a lot to do with her kids being idols. The dad posted shipping stuff between his son and Sb on his Instagram.
I don't know... I still think many of these idols have sponsors despite them coming from rich families.
Yes this was the case for many 2nd gen and early 3rd gen idols where these kids were the breadwinners for their families but in 4th gen a lot of idols both male and female are rich or come from previously established households of actors and entertainers so things could get better in say the next 5-10 years. One downside though Is most 4th gen idols lack soul, they don't have the passion for music 2nd gen idols used to have
