Do K-pop stylists and idols date? A former idol answers fans' questions
★Former K-pop idol group Crayon Pop member Wei answers various questions about idol stylists.
★Stylists play a role similar to that of a manager, and since they spend every day with the idol, taking care of them, there is a possibility that the relationship could develop into a relationship. I've seen male idols dating female stylists in the past. It seems that in new groups, the manager or stylist is often the person to whom members can confide their worries.
★Stylists are the ones who mainly choose the costumes. However, the company decides on the group's concept. It depends on the case. There are also cases where the members don't like the concept. In that case, they consult with the company and decide.
★Idols usually change their clothes by themselves. Since they wear clothes under their costumes, it seems that their bodies (in underwear) are rarely seen. The idols themselves manage their own personal belongings such as underwear (wash them at home).
★Do idols and stylists fight? Apparently there are times when they are given costumes that they don't like. However, it never seems to escalate into a fight. It's a matter of taste, and they settle on the fact that there wasn't enough time to work it out.
★About how quickly idols change costumes. There is often a temporary changing area behind the stage where they can get off the stage as soon as they come off.
If there isn't, a video is played in the venue to buy time, and they rush to get changed (it's a lot of work).
★When the members' costumes are all different...the stylist chooses based on intuition, without any consultation.
★Have you ever thought that another member's costume or hairstyle was good? Crayon Pop member Wei has always worn the same costume as the other members since their debut. He's never been jealous. He apparently talks about it with other groups from time to time.
★How are performance costumes decided? The company decides on the concept.
Then the stylist is asked to choose the costume. If there are no problems, it's OK.
★How are stage costumes managed? It is standard for stage costumes to be worn multiple times.
They wear them in music videos and at least once during performances. After that, they are sent to the dry cleaners and kept by the company (there seem to be various disposal procedures).
★Are award ceremony dresses sponsored? Most dresses worn at events are sponsored by various designers. If a sponsor is not necessary, the dress is purchased separately. However, there are very few cases where the dress is actually purchased.
I have summarized Wei's story.
It seems not so different from workplaces in the general society.
Romance between idols and stylists does not seem to be common either.
Romance between idols is a little unique because it is pretended to be real (there are also romantic relationships in the general society), but romance between idols and stylists gives off an image that is closer to the practicalities of the general society.
Idols who did not achieve great success may feel at ease with the opposite sex who was close to them.
In the general society, there are those who seek romance outside and those who let things take their course and foster it close to them.
The entertainment industry may seem special, but it may only be special for those who are popular.
Even in the general society, those who rapidly advance (succeed) have dramatic love affairs.
It seems that no workplace is so different; it's just a matter of whether the topic becomes public or not.
