Not to mention most of them are on practically starvation diets too.
It boggles my mind since anytime I travel internationally, my body gets so exhausted from jet lag and takes a long time to get readjusted. Meanwhile idols go on tour constantly, travelling from country to country, or even continent to continent, and still look amazing and sound amazing.
I visited Europe in 2024, and it was only for 2 weeks. It was kind of a hectic trip since we visited 9 cities within those 2 weeks. So I feel like I got just a little taste of how idols feel when they go on tour. And when I tell you I was completely DEAD after that trip- it took me literally MONTHS to recover from it. When I came home, I slept for 18 hours straight everyday for like 3 days. My sleep schedule was messed up for months afterwards too. I was also 25, so it wasn’t like I was very old either.
Recently, Ni-ki from Enhypen just shared a glimsp of how crazy their schedule was during their last Walk The Line tour. Apparently they flew to Londom from LA, a 10 hours flight, just after travelling through all of the US and performing at like 10 shows, and then they barely got to rest and had to perform the London concert the next day. Ni-ki said he was suffering from insomnia and all the members were exhausted. Yet they still looked amazing on stage? Like how??
If I did that, there would be no way I can put on a show, let alone a good show, after all that travelling.
A lot of kpop groups also do their music show pre-recordings at like 1 or 2am in the morning, and most likely after a full day of schedules too.
So are kpop idols just super human? Do they take IV drips? I know Jake sometimes does for his weak immune system. Do they just give them stimulants or something?? Like how do they do it?
