Do People Ever Realise This About Idols

It is never as simple as the glossy music would have you believe;

But it is also not as deep as the conspiracy theorists would like you to think.

It is not as clean as the national PR machines would have you believe;

But it is not so dirty to the point the Powers that be consider it an evil.

There are big fans of a group who only know what happens on a surface;

But there are also casual fans who seemingly have a grip on the sub-cultures that drive major decisions.

All I can say is: only fans know very well how deep they want to sink into the rabbit hole known as idol-dom, and things will never be that clear cut.
