Why aren t idols allowed to date?
The article explores the reasons behind why idols are not allowed to date, including contractual obligations, image maintenance, privacy concerns, and fan backlash. The prohibition on dating is often applied differently to male and female idols, perpetuating gender inequality in the industry.
