in the kpop industry what's the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says 'necessary evil'?

[dvang]

for me it has to be fangirls.......they are the fuel of kpop industry but at the same time they are the one that steer people away from kpop........

The actual Entertainments themselves.

[SimSimi]

SM. Their shitty acts are necessary to make YG artists look even better by comparison. In order to fully appreciate K-Pop done right, we have to see it done wrong.

That you can't trust anything said by a company or artist to be sincere, no matter if it is a press release, interview or variety program.

[h0neanias]

The ever-present control. With the public so judgemental, I'm not surprised the companies are scared. That, and variety shows.

[CALICO CAT]

nothing in special?

Just no.

[HottestLeeJunho]

Suzy is angel Yoona is evil.

[Ludark]

Girl groups having to promote sexy concepts they don't feel comfortable with, idols need to sell their songs to survive and frankly the public (aside from a vocal minority) seems to like sexy concepts.

 

I guess you could expand this into idols doing things they feel uncomfortable with, for either the public or fan-service, it is just that girl groups and sexy concepts were the first that came to mind.

I mean you're fine but a necessary evil is something you don't like, but has to happen for a good result or has to be done for the greater good. Sasaengs are just bad all around. I guess if you figure in how many albums and merchandise you can say they're a necessary evil, but even then I wouldn't think that they were necessary.
