Should we Believe Idols... (2 Viewers)

When they say their companies aren't overworking them?
For instance, if an idol is fainting, vomiting, behaving in an obviously exhausted way, or having breakdowns due to stress, who's at fault?
Themselves?
The company?
The fans for enabling it?

Of course Idols won't blame their companies for their crazy schedules, most of them really believe that being extremely busy is part of the business and, to certain extent, this is true. The thing here, is that idols aren't paid as much as they should, even the richest idols can't compete with B-class western artists.

Imo, they signed up for it, knew that it will be hard HOWEVER if it reaches a stage of fainting, vomiting, behaving in an obviously exhausted way, or having breakdowns due to stress, as you said, they should get the necessary breaks for their bodies and minds to feel well enough again to go out on stage and perform their best again instead of shoving them onto a new stage a day after without having any break.

Some Idols admit to overworking themselves because that's how they get better and succeed so they should be aware of the consequences as well.
I just hope that Idols and companies will enable enough rest for them and their bodies to feel good.

well it depends on the idols. Some really are workaholics but it would be wrong to deny that companies wouldn't play a part in that too.

When my oppa said he innocent despite all these issues we believe so why shouldn't we believe when they say they weren't overworked? don't selectively believe what they say, believe everything.
don't be a hypocrite.

Hard to say... There are companies that clearly care about their idol's health, but then there are also idols who are known to be workaholics.
