This past week has been Xnghan’s comeback and I have been going to various events for it and talking with other fans and watching his comeback got me thinking about how different my life is from his and other idols. Like we are the same age but he is promoting his comeback and performing at music shows and I am a first semster graduate student. While he was at a fansign this week I called my mom crying due to midterms stress. When I was studying in highschool to go to college he was training to be an idol for hours everyday. Our lives are so different and we have gone through very different things that it is difficult to wrap my mind around the fact that our birthdays are only months apart.
I have never wanted to be an idol and am very happy with my life but sometimes it just hits me how different idols my age are living compared to me especially idols at big companies or in really popular groups. There are idols that I forget are the same age as me or in some cases younger than because they have been in the industry so long or because they are so visible. But then I’ll see something and suddenly be reminded of just how young they and also how different being an idol is from being a regular person. There are idols who have done so much and gone on multiple world tours and are barley 20. Or I will hear about super young trainees/idols spending hours at practice and all I can think is at that age I was in middle school or how much I changed my mind about what I wanted to do at that age.
