Sensitive I'm taking a break from K-pop (1 Viewer)

Moonbin dying has hurt me more than it should have because I don't know Astro that well in general but it's just been hurting me a lot. I just can't handle it knowing that this could happen to other idols I like in the future. It's scary that my close family or friends could be pretending they're happy but they're really not and they suddenly K!ll themselves suddenly like Moonbin. I just can't handle how toxic the K-pop industry could be that they're making some of their idols feel this way. I struggle with depression myself and there are people around me that I can't help even though I wish I could. I just feel like K-pop has also lowered my self-esteem a lot because I compare myself to how beautiful these idols are to the point where I can't even look at myself in the mirror and if I do, I break into tears. I might get back into K-pop but for right now, I just can't. I'm just going to listen to Pop Music for now.

By what you said maybe taking a break is the best for you. Kpop makes u compare yourself to ppl whose whole job is to look good, and not everyone has that job or obligation. Hope you can get your positive mindset about yourself back. About your friends and family, i say just be there for them as much as you can, i think that's enough.

Definitely take care of yourself, first and foremost. Taking a step away can be a good part of that.

Also, feel free to reach out to those close to you, to help them, or to get help yourself. You're never alone.

I did the same when Sulli and Hara died so I relate to your situation
