maidoan97 743 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 In other words, those who wanted to be actors but are put into an idol group so that their acting career would be more successful? Do you like it or hate it? Tbh, I don't like that at all. If you have no passion for music at all, you shouldn't debut and call yourself a singer.

ICETERO 9,070 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't mind it. It's not that all actors/actresses hate being idols and dislike music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
512955124 1,748 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I do not like it if they have no passion in singing or dancing or performing. I used to like a certain idol partly for his/her voice(and was hoping he/she will improve further) and I was really disappointed when he/she said he/she debut in a group just to go into acting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsolively 5,219 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If they are actually talented and offer something to the group (e.g. good vocals) and continue to work hard, then it shouldn't really matter. It's just so annoying when a member who is so limited and near on useless is in a group because you can clearly tell they were just added for their visuals alone and/or to try acting. Especially those who offer nothing and half ass everything. But then again as I've come to learn and accept; idols are not about singers or talent, but rather entertainment and visuals.

~ PD Hercule Poirot ~ 1,868 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's only okay if they have interest in music and especially singing/dancing If not, it's kinda dumb and their overall performances are gonna show to the audiences and viewers so they will drag the whole group down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachaoi 150 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If they have the ability then why not. If they don't then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riri 4,384 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Good luck to them. If they have the guts to be in a group and work his ass off 24h and deal with shit everyday just to debut as an actor without having any idea if the public will like it or na or if he'll become successful then GOOD LUCK.

sora ✾ 2,883 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I mean, it's the way to go if they really want to act. It's hard for rookie actors these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudeki 991 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think it's pretty smart. Build up your fanbase ahead of time and take the fast track to lead roles while the rookie actors get stuck with sub-par roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlkpopfan 2,451 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think rookie actors have more of a chance of getting gigs with decent pay if they become idols first so its a smart plan. It increases the liklihood of your success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It increases the liklihood of your success. This There are literally dozens of middle aged Korean actors and actresses today who started off as a singer, rapper or idol. One of my favorite Korean actors, Jang Hyuk made his debut as rapper, going by the name TJ. If an idol has the talent to become a good actor/actress, he/she can use that popularity and transition to a full time actor/actress later in his/her career. All idol groups will disband one day, idols who are over 30 are in the minority and they'll probably look for another job in the entertainment industry. A lot of the Super Junior members have been working as MC's on variety programs for years as an example. Making fun of idol actors became a meme. Probably because some idols are truly terrible actors and the only reason they were casted in a drama was purely to boost viewers or publicity.

chichibio 2,726 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Don't care as long as they can act like they give a fuck about what they're doing when they perform on stage. They could be good for group popularity coz acting exposes them and their group to a bigger audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiz 1,275 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If they really have no passion for singing or dancing at all, then yes maybe its not good. But in the end, its not their fault. Maybe their agency put them to an idol group not only for their acting career, but to boost the group's popularity as well. Its very exhausting to be an idol actors, bcuz its like doing 2 jobs at the same time. And even worse, at first (maybe until 3-5 years since debut), idol actors have to share their income with other members in the group, remember? So I think its not always for their benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
