A Male Idol Doesn’t Want To Film Fan Material And wants To Focus On Performing

K-pop internet community are angry at a male idol.

His recent statement to supporters that he would not film more stuff for them caused this unhappiness. He said the extra stuff is distracting and he wants to focus on stage performance.

Hyunsuk of TREASURE recently made a controversial statement during a live stream on Weverse, sparking online discussions.

“I want to focus on performance when I’m performing. I’m not interested in extras. As a vocalist, I don’t want to do these extra things before I go on stage, but if you’re curious about our team members, I’ll do them. Why do unnecessary things when a singer should ready the stage? Numerous things exist now. If performance, focus on that. Focus on content.”

In a prominent online community, Korean netizens debated whether an idol should focus solely on on-stage performances and concerts or also conduct dance challenges, behind-the-scenes footage, and fan interactions.

Many Korean netizens are slamming Hyunsuk’s latest comment, saying many stars do more and don’t complain.

“Then why did you become an idol,” they said. Why not complain to his company? Why is he telling fans?” “I mean, I wouldn’t mind if he does performances so exceptionally,” “Why did he even become an idol then?” Maybe idolizing isn’t for you. You and your fans would benefit by quitting idolatry.” “Even Beyonce films content like behind-the-scenes content before her concerts,” “He can cease being an idol if he merely performs. Popular idol groups are good at fan services like delivering diverse content.” and “I don’t get this guy. Stop complaining to fans and tell the company.
