100% the reason for why I think the Japanese idol industry is fine as it stands is because K-pop is so much more disturbing. I get that theres that cultural drive in Korea to be the best at whatever you do, but there have to be limits.

Do you know why K-pop stars are so immaculate? Its because they're like cattle. Raised to become the next BTS or whatever. Every single one has a lego set's worth of plastic implanted on various parts of their body. I cant even begin to speculate what their diet is like.

You know the Truman Show? That movie where a baby was selected at birth to eternally live in a family friendly sitcom? This is just as evil, if not worse.

Meanwhile, J-idols are still just singing and prancing around like idiots on stage. I'd much prefer to see them having fun like that instead of some flawless performance forged out of pain and suffering.
