Korean actors
South Korean actors and artists frequently apologize if they are found in a relationship, as the industry has traditionally imposed tight rules on idol behavior, including dating prohibitions.
Earlier this week, South Korean pop singer Karina had issued a written apology to her fans for dating actor Lee Jae-wook.
Amidst the ongoing controversy over her relationship disclosure with Ryu Jun Yeol, Han So Hee posted an apologetic note on her blog, expressing remorse and admitting her shortcomings.
These dating rules are in place to give fans a sense of availability and accessibility, as well as to perpetuate the fantasy of an idol as a perfect, unattainable figure. Publicly acknowledging a romantic connection can have an impact on an idol’s popularity and fan base; hence, many idols feel compelled to apologize for breaking these standards. However, it is vital to remember that the K-pop industry has evolved, and certain celebrities and agencies are defying established standards.
According to The South China Morning Post, K-pop and other entertainment agencies keep male and female trainees carefully segregated to “prevent any danger of the biggest teenage distraction of all, romance, coming in the way of their professional practice.”
