With K-Pop's explosive growth, some fans believe that K-Pop idols themselves must demonstrate good behavior as the "role models of today's youths". 

Due to this belief, these fans consider certain activities to be "harmful" to an idol's image, as respectable celebrities from whom young children and teens can take inspiration. 

What activities do K-netizens consider particularly "harmful" to a K-Pop idol's image? Here are the top 8:

1. Excessive Tattoos

2. Going to Night Clubs

3. Pre-Debut Underage Drinking 

4. Smoking

5. Dating

6. Publicly Displaying Friendships With People Outside the Industry

7. Golf

8. Moving Out of the Group Dorm

Some netizens commented, 

"I really do not condone tattoos."

"I mean if my idol was seen going to a club I would unstan them so fast."

"A lot of fans consider golf unwelcome because it's bad for the environment and it has that image as the indulgent sport of rich people."

"Boasting about friendship gatherings with people that fans aren't comfortable knowing about..."

"Some people also don't like idols who are excessive gamers."

"The fans who don't want their idols to live independently also don't want them to get their driver's license. In the end, it all has to do with them gaining more freedom to date."

"Definitely too many tattoos and piercings."

"Dating is always a big no since there's such a low chance that all of the fans will approve of the person the idol is dating."

"Add idols who have attitude problems with their fans."

"There are definitely some fans who prefer their idols to do nothing but practice, schedules, and interact with their group members."

"The fans don't want their idols to hang out or be seen with, let alone date, people they don't approve of."
