delirium 4,237 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Are idols missing out on the full golden opportunity of the social media age? YouTube alone has launched many talented and desperate into stardom and semi-stardom; it has fostered careers, introduced individuals to an otherwise indifferent audience, and showcased the skills of people in ways that infrequent television appearances couldn't. Someone talking about random shite for 3 minutes can garner millions of followers. Even Instagram has made models out of people who have put more plastic into their face then people have put into the ocean. Idols who aren’t as well-known as their peers have a chance to even the score, domestically and internationally, so why haven’t idols taken advantage of this power? Creating a channel and updating it with dance/acoustic covers; talking about exciting news; doing anything to pull them out of the black hole of abismal nugudom. Are companies blocking their idols from producing material to place on social media or are idols just too busy to jump on this opportunity or maybe it would be too much exposure on top of an already public life? But when your debt to your company can even make the IRS feel bad for you, maybe you should start thinking outside of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice snatched my weave 5,987 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 they already have v-live and making youtube videos is more time consuming. they'd have to have someone dedicated to filming/editing companies aren't willing to use resources for something like that which may or may not bring in anything.

mikmak 1,124 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 what idol has time for all that??? nugu ones It doesn't take much time. Film a short vid of you talking/playing/dancing/etc and upload it, make it a short series with all the members and i-fans will eat it up (see: BTS pre-2015) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
