Do we all not wonder about this question? “What if I were an idol?”
I sometimes do, especially on days when I have nothing to do but sit around and ponder. It’s quite fun, really. No, you are not allowed to judge me. lol. As I have said it so many times, it is fun to let the imagination run wild.
By writing this post, by no means I want to be an idol seriously. Why not? Well, you’ll know at the end of this post. So, scroll away for answer but if you want to read my quirks, read on.
If I were an Idol –
I think I will be the member without much musical talent. I can be taught to sing in tune but I do not possess a raw vocal talent like Onew and Jonghyun. I can dance well, especially latin dance and pop dance so I will probably become the member who dances well. I have a strong belief that I will be the ‘jack of all trades but master of none’ because I am interested in so many thing. So, my position could vary from – main dancer/ sub dancer/ sub vocal aka the useless member. Okay, I can sense the possibility of being asked by the company for me to fix my face so that I can become the face of the group.
Actually, I want to be a travel reporter like Anthony Bourdain by going to different cities on unusual adventures and experience the culture there with a twist of an idol. Yup, that is totally me.
Shows I want to go on – We Got Married and Running Man. Hands down. I want my WGM partner to be either Key or Kris. I find those two very interesting(plus both of them are gorgeous in my eyes!) and it would be interesting to do a television show with them. Lol. Talk shows are not bad too but I will have to be extremely fluent in Korean to play clever word puns. Like, duh! Well, most of the shows are scripted so yeah..scratch that out. I don’t want to go on talk shows anymore. And no, I don’t want to go on Immortal Song and embarrass myself.
Acting? God no. I’ll end up laughing nonstop with the thought of the whole thing being very amusing to me.
Then again, I don’t think I’ll ever want to become an idol seriously. I mean, the long endless working hours, everyday trip to gyms, strict diet on day to day basis (if I want a custard tart, I want to eat it without the guilt), the constant fear of paparazzi and sasaengs, the mental strength to face netizen’s ruthless comments if things were to go wrong and last but not least, little to no freedom as a person.
Being an idol, or a celebrity, is a trade-off. You trade your life and soul in exchange for fame and money. It’s such a huge payment, really.
Anyway, if you were an idol, what type of idol would you like to, or have the potential to, become? Multi-talented like Key? Musically passionate like G-dragon? Or someone bursting with vocal talent like Jjong and Dubu?
Comment away, people. Comment away.
