Today’s daily rant is about idols smoking. I myself, am against smoking however some times it gets out of hand and it causes fans to go crazy over the fact their idols are smoking.
It’s just like the arguments about idols drinking, however I think this one is abit more serious. People such as B2ST’s Ki Kwang, SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong, Super Junior’s Kangin and Hangeng and even Lee Minho have been caught or seen smoking or it could of been photoshopped — it depends really. But I still love them and who cares if they smoke? If they want to, it’s their choice. It’s not a good choice but it’s their life and it’s completely up to them if they smoke or not. It’s actually a known fact that smoking suppresses your need for food, so this might be the reason some idols do take up smoking. But who knows? The only way we could find out is to ask them ourselves.
In 2002 it was recorded that one third of the world smoke, so you can’t ignore the fact that maybe your favorite idols did or do smoke. Some did give up before debut however some didn’t so you can’t really judge them on it. It’s really up to them if they smoke or not, it’s not up to the fans. It’s like asking someone to jump off a cliff. They don’t do it because they are asked to, they do it because they want to. So many fans should accept it, I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that some times the media hypes these things up too much. Maybe it’s because I’m from England and smoking isn’t seen as the worst thing for idols to do, maybe in Korea it’s different but I still think fans should calm down when it comes to idols choices in smoking.
What do you think of this? Do you think idols smoking shouldn’t be so hyped up? Or do you think all idols shouldn’t be allowed to smoke.
