And the under-aged sexploitation happens to both genders, at least in Korea. It's gross. I only follow groups that are relatively close to my age, in either direction. Have you seen any footage of idols getting mobbed at the airports? Fucking terrifying. America is obsessed with celebrity culture too but I think the majority of it is done from a distance, with no expectation that the celebrities can't have personal lives.

Yeah in western culture we actually fetishize to an extent celebrity relationships instead of trying to restrict them from having one. I'm not sure why they're so strict there... to keep the fantasy of being "young and avilable"? idk
