Taboos on idols are broken with marriage and cohabitation?

Article : From marriage to living together... 'Unwritten laws' are broken on idols' private lives Source: Yeonhap via Nate 1. [+758, -31] Dating isn't a bad thing, it's their choice. But going public about living together is going too far. 2. [+574, -25] Their bucket list is living together... Well, it's not bad. These days, a lot of university student couples live together. But if you end up breaking up, you should let your future partners know. 3. [+406, -21] Living together is going too far. 4. [+30, -0] It's possible because they're has-been idols. They have no other source to gain attention so they have to do this. 5. [+26, -0] Taeyang and Min Hyo Rin are the only ones that got married quietly. 6. [+25, -1] Why would you announce that you live together ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ We don't care whether you live together or not. The Korean society still doesn't have a good view on a couple living together. 7.

YG doesn't know how to produce fandom-based idol groups?

Pann : Yang Hyuk Suk doesn't know how to make fandom-based idol groups (Pann talks about how YG refuses to follow idol concepts such as a unique world, bait ads, outfits and props and only relies on musically-talented idols, which ends up producing digitally-dependent groups - Bigbang, Winner, iKON) 1. [+350, -30] Agreed. If you want to earn money by fandoms, you have to do it like SM. NCT has zero public recognition but their physical sales are 300K for 127 and 200K for Dream. 2. [+318, -12] Honestly, the reason why Bigbang, iKON, and Winner are doing well isn't because of the company, it's because of their own work. But I watched YG Treasure and there weren't many kids who could write/compose like their sunbaes. It was as if YG's unique characteristic was gone... Objectively, I could see a couple of talented kids only. 3. [+306, -2] First of all, their long hiatuses are an enough reason to fail with fandoms. 4. [+167, -16] I'm OK with digitally-dependent ...
