[Rumor Mill] Male idol group's leader randomly ups and leaves

Leader 'G' of a popular male idol group known for their powerful stage performances was recently found to have left the group momentarily after declaring that he "could not promote in a group any longer." The company went through quite some trials to persuade him to come back. Although the reason for his abrupt leave is unknown, the majority of industry insiders say, "G seems to have gone through a crisis after realizing that the reality of idol life is different from what he had dreamt of. Unlike the situation several years ago, idol groups haven't been receiving the same attention, which we believe played a part in G's decision." Representatives of the agency could've given up on G but felt that his skills and talents were too good to waste and did everything they could to persuade him to come back to the group.

1. [+59, -3] There's a rookie SM idol group named EXO who debuted last year and recently made a comeback. EXO-M's leader Kris is a Chinese Canadian and he randomly went on hiatus to Canada without consulting anyone, which made the group delay their March comeback. The rest of the members practiced without Kris while he was gone. SM then persuaded him to finally come back, which is how EXO is finally making their comeback. G is Kris.

Krystal confesses a concern as a celebrity

Article: Krystal "The interest of people made me miserable" hidden worry confessed

Source: Mydaily via Nate

Krystal: "I don't like places with a lot of people. It made me so miserable whenever people stared at me. Since I'm a celebrity, I'm supposed to get used to and even enjoy people looking at me but I can't, which is why I want to let go of that side of me through sky diving."

1. [+213, -42] Remember Kang Ho Dong said that hateful comments and the interest of people in you are all included in the income that you make as a celebrity. At least you don't have to worry about money. Money isn't everything in life but it makes up a big part of it.

2. [+258, -97] Shouldn't have become a celebrity if that makes you miserable

3. [+200, -42] I think it's ridiculous whenever celebrities say in interviews that they feel pressured by the interest of the public. I get that they're human and it gets difficult at times but do they really have to express it outwardly like that? Interviews like this are basically them saying "Please watch my drama, listen to and buy my songs, but don't take an interest in me." Just what the heck? If you chose to be a celebrity, this is just one aspect of the career that you have to either embrace or deal with.

5. [+21, -20] She should've put a blanket down... tsk tsk tsk

6. [+17, -0] They could also be from massages or getting shots in that area~ like diet shots

7. [+13, -1] Everyone, if you're unemployed and looking for work, try becoming a journalist. You, a dog, and even a cow can become one!

10. [+9, -2] With the way the bruises are laid out, it doesn't look like she simply got them from bumping into something ㅋㅋ

1. [+571, -22] Good news.. ㅋㅋ But what's going to happen to Bang Yedam? Park Jin Young better take him...

2. [+470, -17] YG was the most realistic choice for them to pursue their own music

3. [+415, -17] YG hit daebak. They did a good job with the bean rice cake bingsoo song.

4. [+62, -6] JYP's problem is that they cover up everything that makes their artists unique with Park Jin Young's style

5. [+42, -6] I don't know about them keeping their color but I'm sure YG will support them the best. If you think about it, every single YG artist has pretty high public recognition.

1. [+107, -15] I think the top 3 ranking needs to be updated. YG is above SM now and JYP has dropped to CCM's level.

2. [+77, -2] YG is really sweeping up all of the kids. They took Lee Hi from season 1, Akdong from season 2. YG has a lot of luck.

3. [+77, -3] Honestly, they didn't have much of a choice. Either go with SM, who views all of their artists as money, or with JYP, who views all of their artists as mini JYPs. YG was the realistic choice.

4. [+68, -7] I'd rather YG for their ability to play up your own charms than JYP who sticks his name in front of all of your songs and makes you fix your singing style to fit his

5. [+56, -1] K-Pop Star = YG audition ㅋㅋㅋ
