(G)I-DLE’s Soyeon arrives in support for celebs for their smoking, drinking and dating choices

Recently, (G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon had come forward to speak on the restraints put forth by the Korean Entertainment industry on the idols. In an appearance on variety show with SE SO NEON‘s Soyoon, the duo discussed how things have gone beyond normalcy for the celebrities.

The (G)I-DLE leader stated in clear resonance that there is lingering dissatisfaction among the adult K-celebrities who faces hate for their smoking, drinking or dating choices. She stated, “One of the things people think is bad but isn’t is like smoking. Smoking isn’t illegal. Adults can smoke, adults can drink.” She extended her support for all the artists and actors who witnessed tremendous disgust for doing something much acceptable in the society.

She added, “In idol culture, there are things you’re just not supposed to do, like dating”. To which, Soyoon said, “(Hate comments for) dating is honestly the weirdest one to me.” Soyeon nodded and mentioned, “But I think it’s fine. If someone wants to date, they should.” Adding, “When you think about it on a broader level, loving someone is part of why we’re born. Loving is as natural as eating or breathing. But idols still can’t openly do it.”

“Honestly, they don’t have to hide it. However, if they don’t hide it, they need to be prepared for the consequences,” Soyeon claimed. She also clarified the reality of the dating scenario, which was that they had to decide whether to keep their relationship a secret or risk upsetting a segment of followers. The (G)I-DLE member mentioned, “Someone wants to keep their fans’ hearts while also dating. I don’t think that’s possible. Both the host and Soyeon considered that “selfish.”
