what part do you not get, a vague comment like this is hard to reply to
The fact that he always has to be in shape, the fact that he can't have a bad day. Having a concept that appeals to fans. The fact that he can't be pissed off, just at home.
All the product he represents as a flawless person.
I'm puzzled by this last chapter. I'm not a fan of anyone, so idol work baffles me and so does fan expectation.
But I like the main character because it's a change from other series.

the system is there to make sure he rises to the top as an elite idol, not the ones that debut and drift off to disband even before their contracts end, so keeping up the rigorous routine is a must.
staying in shape is every idols worry because people see the idols appearance first before knowing their personalities, staying pretty and handsome is a must.
cant have a bad day hes actually having bad days 6/7 days a week already he just cant express it out loud.
having an appealing concept is what sets him aside from his own members and from other idols, each member within a group has to have individual concepts so its easier for people to distinguish them, for example Enhypen’s Jay people call him the dad of the group so thats his concept.
cant be pissed off at home is because he lives in a dorm with other members being pissed off only creates tension within the group, keeping a harmonious atmosphere is best when living with others and theres other ways to calm down instead of getting pissed.
these are all important things to maintain when you are an idol, especially since their fans wont be able to communicate or get close to them directly so their public appearance and concept is important if they want to look good, and for idols like eden his concept is crucial to mask his bold personality
Hmmm idol culture is very very demanding, especially in korea. Being an Idol is a very high profession that many can only dream to have because Korea has a very very strict way of making idols. The industry MUST always produce good idols, good singers, good entertainers, if a group isn't up to standards the press and the public can easily isolate and criticize such groups. Being an Idol also means having fans that watch and support them because of what they portray... some are fond of them, some love them and some borderline obsessive. Just like any industry there are idols and fans that do try to better people than be assholes that burn out an idol or harass idols and fans.
Idol Culture in general can be very enjoyable or scary depending on the group, or community you will stay in.
yes, certain groups have more forgiving or more easygoing fandoms, and usually its only a loud minority causing trouble for the group
Thank for the explanations. It's not for me the type of group. But I like manga, Manhwa with idol themes. I like Eden's current character, it's quite refreshing.
your welcome, with the way the manhwa is progressing though eden might break certain idol rules and make his own while rising to the top
I don’t understand the idols world. Same for the fans.
