8. [+27, -4] It's not the same for male idols but female idols are always expected to be looking like they have a peaceful smile on their face and never even joke around with their members in case it gets interpreted the wrong way.. there are just a lot more expectations out of them. I bet being a female idol is one of the most extreme jobs in our country.
9. [+19, -6] I really do feel bad for female celebrities. Taeyeon got all that hate for not smiling just that one moment. I wrote that in another article and got downvoted ㅠㅠ
10. [+15, -1] Female celebrities will get hated no matter what. There's an algorithm to it. If you're pretty but not THAT pretty, people will always be hating you for it and questioning and debating whether you're pretty or not. Traditional beauties like Kim Tae Hee and Han Ga In can't be hated on for being not pretty so instead they get hated on for their acting.
11. [+15, -1] Why do you think that when a female idol screws up, she gets hate, but when a male idol screws up, he gets shielded??? Because the main fanbase of female idols are men... and when men face a problem, they face it objectively and try to figure the issue out with logic. On the other hand, the main fabase of male idols are women.. and women are emotional and only think from their perspective and it suddenly becomes an issue of "I trust this idol, I like this idol, there's no way he could've done something like that, and if he did, I will find a way to be understanding"... that's why when an idol gets into a scandal, it's the female idol that gets the short end of the stick. At least in Korea, female idols need to really watch out for scandals.
