I'm not quite sure how to phrase this but I think that for idols who debut and get famous young its actually good for them to have a minor and non career ending scandal. Like to get big while you're still a kid and never have a scandal either means that you were able to hold yourself on an inhumanly tight leash before your brain was finished forming or that people covered up everything you did. I don't think either leads to very functional adults in the long run. Having the scandal and learning how to move on from it teaches them that scandals aren't the end of the world and that as long as you grow and learn you'll be fine. But having the scandal in the first place teaches you that you WILL be made accountable for your actions and that money and fame won't excuse you.

#i hate the public shaming aspect of scandels #but public awareness of your failings DOES have its benifits #idk like youth is about messing up in low stakes environments and learning from that so that you won't make the same mistakes #when the stakes are higher and it matters #someone gets famous at 22? they'll already know more to be a mostly functional person #Someone who debuts are 16?14????? theres no way #a 14 year old kid won't have that low stakes period to learn theres no way that won't carry over in how they act #like ncts taeyong is a great example off the top of my head #he debuted and IMMEDIATELY got exposed for being a scammer when he was younger #he didn't have a massive fanbase to protect him yet so he really did just have to admit to it and weather the criticism #which must have been absolute hell given that he was so new AND the groups face and leader #but no other rumors about him surfaced and as far as everyone can tell he really did grow so now hes fine again #and i do think thats like the perfect balance of getting caught getting repremanded changing and then moving on #yes this was inspired by seungri or however its spelled #having people cover up everything when your young just teaches you that you can get away with anything you want as long as you sell #in the short term it might benifit you but in the long run your eventually gonna fall out #i really think as awful as it is you need to get taken to task over something small and stupid so you know not to try anything bigger #but also it makes you bit as scared of getting hate over something dumb #which you ALSO need to not be an anxiety driven wreck #mine #kpop #*that's supposed to say less scared of getting hate over something dumb
