Behind the curtains and a step back from the limelight, some of our favorite K-pop idols have some unusual hobbies. We break down our favorites!
On stage in the mist of glamour, glitz, and outstanding performances, it comes as no surprise, that when they are not on stage in their glamourous outfits to thousands of screaming fans, K-pop idols might have some interesting passions.
As we have learned over the years, the K-pop industry especially is notorious for being harsh with long hours, not much care for mental health, and being brutal with cancel culture, so hobbies are more than important for the mental well-being and personal growth for their high pressured careers. Some Korean celebrities probably do the same as us, such as cooking, playing games, and they help to "humanize" themselves as stars.
