IDOL
Now, question arises that who are idols? Idols are those people who performed K-pop. It is not at all necessary that the idols are of South Korea. They can be citizen of any country but they have to be hardworking , talented ( good in field of dance and singing or rapping) and have sense of fashion .  From past years , fashion take an important place in the fields of acting , singing , rapping and dancing. Becoming an idol is also not an easy task . They select people through auditions and give extreme level of training.When I say extreme , it actually means extreme. Some of the kpop idols are found to be in depression, anxiety and some of them loses thier consciousness during thier stage performance.
