Talk:Episode 20 - Passion and Pride!/@comment-29742182-20160829051743

Interesting how this episode addressed the prejudice against idol actors and the so-called "Celebrity disease".

Reality is, idol turned actors/idol actors are still shunned by society and treated like nuisances because of the preconception that they landed the role through their popularity and huge fanbase or because of strong backing. The general public (even veteran and rookie actors) think idols get a good head start in dramas/movies moreso that rookie actors even though their acting skills fall short. While in many cases this might be true, a lot of idols who act have displayed great passion, enthusiasm and skills. In time, they have proven themselves worthy of the roles they play. Idols are as hardworking and as capable as actors are and they deserve whatever success they gain whether it'd be in the field of acting, singing, etc. :)(p.s this is in fact especially true in countries where idols make up atleast 50% of the entertainment industry)

Also, about the Celebrity Disease (Top Star Disease), I hear that it's quite common amongst top stars (even non-top stars, they say). I guess some people just get carried away and forget to keep their feet on the ground. This can be extremely detrimental to their careers, sure you'll get away with it at first but no one's gonna want to work with you if you keep acting like an almighty diva.
