coolcoolcool 893 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I know technically it's that artists write their own music. But many idols write a lot of their songs but they are considered idols (like Seventeen). What do you consider idol/artist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whasa 1,939 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I mean art itself is pretty broad so an artist can literally be anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosh 1,349 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 arguably there is no difference because performance is an art but regardless i don't think 'idol' and 'artist' are incompatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb4 25,058 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I guess to be considered an artist you have to have some control over your work, I mean art is about expressing yourself so what's the point if you have no say in it? I know performance is an art form too but there are so many idols who are not passionate about music or performing so it's not surprising that people separate the two. I don't think they're mutually exclusive tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallows 9,902 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 In case of groups like BB BTS SVT and Monsta X nothing ...But I think it's about how much control you have over your own music Sent from my HUAWEI SCL-U31 using OneHallyu mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenjuroX 692 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Some would say that an artist creates and conveys their thoughts and ideas through song and dance, while idols are merely directed to convey what others would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Soda 12,004 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Artist usually put themselves together(if they are a group)/have the talent before their record deal. Idols are mostly attractive people grabbed off the streets and trained to have talent, may idols who can sing will just tell you the company got lucky they could sing.
