The image idols show when they meet fans and the public is a constructed one
That doesn’t mean it’s fake or insincere
It’s a performance—something they’ve done their best to create in order to give people positive energy
For example, you don’t feel disappointed just because a movie isn’t real
When idols and fans meet in a mutually agreed space
That moment itself becomes a complete work of art
You only need to love each other in that moment
For the rest of the time, it’s enough to remember that moment, think of each other, and miss each other
Hoping that an idol’s entire life matches the image you want
Feeling disappointed when it doesn’t
Trying to force it
There’s no need for that
You have to understand that idols are also human beings, just like you
Of course, the moment you find out that an idol you truly liked is in a relationship will hurt a lot
Even if humans know what’s right, it’s impossible to perfectly control emotions
But you still have to understand
That you shouldn’t justify hating or attacking the idol you once liked just because you’re hurt and struggling
If you can distinguish between fantasy and reality, you will suffer less
And both idols and fans can be happier
