You dont see this happen so often in other countries showbiz. If u know how the showbiz industry works there, u are basically slave labour for your agency. And i mentioned before, for an average korean who isn't from the elite universities, this is their chance to break the social strata. So it's very competitive and stressful in general. In singapore, u don't make it, u can still probably get a job after trying for a few years. It's relatively harder to get a white collar job in korea compared to say SG. These people all in into the entertainment industry after their equivalent of JC essentially. Edited April 20, 2023 by Lala81 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont see this happen so often in other countries showbiz. Different culture. Korean artistes have innocent images to maintain, must be pretty and innocent, any unfavorable news to them is a threat to their career, even catching them not behaving in public can cause them their careers, which they have worked so hard for. On the other hand, American artistes do not care of such news, to them, bad news is better than no news, so they will create more controversies, up to a certain limit. Family violences are a no-no, but drug taking is acceptable?? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiz ...only 25 yo.😞 https://mothership.sg/2023/04/moonbin-astro-dead Moonbin, a member of K-pop boy band Astro, has died at the age of 25. The group's record label, Fantagio, confirmed the shocking news in a statement on its social media pages. Suspected suicide Local media first broke the news of Moonbin's death, saying that he was found dead in his Seoul apartment by his manager. Yonhap News reported, as translated by Soompi, that the police suspected Moonbin had taken his own life. The police also said that an autopsy might be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. Only through Running Man I come to see all the K-pop singers, rookies, celeb.. this guy appeared 1 year ago… with his group. Another young person gone too soon..

Probably the authority took a very strong stance on drug abuse? Or he felt his future is gone after found to have taken drug. SK artistes life seemed very high strung.
