Dating “ruined” her career, Karina’s fans claimed, with one particularly enraged admirer sending a truck with an electronic billboard to her agency that read: “Do you not receive enough love from your fans?” and: “Apologise, or you’ll see album sales decline and empty concert seats.” “Purity and ‘girliness’ have remained important images, and unfortunately this can really backfire on the idols when they are discovered to be dating, drinking and smoking,” she said.In the early 2000s, before K-pop swept to world recognition, dating was essentially banned for aspiring South Korean pop stars.

Expectations have gradually relaxed, and many popular K-pop stars such as IU, SNSD’s Sooyoung, Jiyeon and BoA, have confirmed relationships to the press. Part of what makes new idols marketable and profitable is allowing fans to entertain the notion that “maybe, one of the fans may date the idol themselves — as delusional of a thought as it may be,” he added.Many K-pop idols start training as teenagers, when they are typically banned from dating, and recently major celebrities have spoken about how lonely and repressive this method of minting stars can be.
