I decided to deviate from the usual posts about K-Pop groups and the music, but instead talk about what life is really like for someone who is in the industry. You might think that they're living the life with fame, money, and everything they want at their fingertips, but that's not the case. I just want to write this blog to show you what really happens and so that you may have an even greater appreciation for your favorite groups and artists for all that they go through.
Bekah, a former K-Pop group member of After School said that the worst part about being in the industry was the lack of sleep. There was constant activities that they would be rushed to and the most she would get to sleep was an hour or even less. She said that if their became even more successful, it would only lead to even harder work and even more activities. In order to promote for new music, they have to do many concerts and performances to show off the new songs and dances that go along with it. Even at concerts, they go through terrible treatment. They barely get to eat a meal, but instead they have crackers and water or bread and maybe, if they're lucky, a bowl of soup. Backstage, it's very crowded and cramped, and very, VERY busy. They have to put on makeup, get in their different outfits, and of course practice for their performance. Now I don't want to make it seem like they're treated badly or that they hate what they do, because that's not true. The artists really do love what they do, despite all the difficulties. Bekah said that she was so overjoyed to see the reactions of her fans when she would perform and that all the setbacks, couldn't compare to the joy she saw.
I really hope that after reading this, you came to appreciate all that these guys and gals do for us :) I mean, they're all really awesome and they always put a smile on my face at least. Leave a comment if you want me to go over a K-Pop group or something else that has to do with K-Pop!
Thanks for reading!
