Its funny, I used to idolize a crap ton of celebrities until I saw that disturbing YK osiris video (The one in which he talks about how bad the industry is, talking about the devil) back in June 2019 and little by little I stopped viewing celebrities the same way. Then, I looked at XXXTENTACION and looked at his story and was confused as to why TF his label is still releasing songs despite the fact he's dead. It was like a domino effect....same I used to be a fan of bts for awhile whilst in college, kpoop was still unpopular and no one had really heard of it until the likes of bts eere gradually gaining popularity in the west. I only fell out of love with kpop mainly bc generic ubderpdocued songs but also a friend of mine back then was a bit too obsessed with them and it was all she really talked about whereas I liked a variety of groups or genres, it was hard to discuss anything other than that one particular group. we had some other common interests but she was overly defensive of them when i merely stated that i didnt like their english tracks due to poor lyrical skills that they have. i havent really spken to her since but there was some other reasons i got bored of that friendship too. i think kpop doesnt bring people together when the friendships some of the fans may form are so based entirely on the delusions of the music groups themselves.
i think no one truly knows what the industry is like bar the idols but then again a lot of the idols seem clueless when they "enter" such industries. its such a twisted way for someone to make their millions, I read a lot on elvis and how I feel like what went on with him is similar to what is going in with kpop groups now and the industry is hardly different because it follows that same blueprint from the 50s imho. in fact i think entertainment has got even more twisted and dark over recent times, there is no literal poiint in getting attached to any celebrities when they seem to be easily disposed off like what is the point and why is so many peoples lives literally centred around shitty arse overhyped entertainment and junky celebs that end up dead and most celebs seem to profit more from being dead than alive.
And yes 100% a lot of celebrities don't know what truly goes on when they first enter the industry because everybody thinks that the industry is fun and games. Or they don't read their contracts...yeah
