Digitally, they have to make it to the 24 Hits in Melon, how are you supposed pierce through the stagnant waters? (T/N: stagnant waters/고인물 = kinda used to describe people who have perfected their skills needed to excel at something)
They need to sell over 500K copies physically o be considered successful
If their MVs don't hit 100M views, they won't even get anywhere
There are so many mediums of communications so they need to manage all of them. Trivial schedules are increasing as a results
If the sunbae idols' popularity are withering away or if they end up disbanding, the attention is usually successively shifted to their hoobaes but the sunbae idols are still super popular now and are still doing well even after enlisting (T/N: implying that the attention will not go down to their hoobaes)
Idols' schedules for their YouTube contents are increasing compared to variety shows on TV so their schedules are becoming way more intense. To shoot one episode of TV variety, they need to film for a long time. But apply that to having to film several YouTube contents.
Because the broadcast stations now have personal fancams, side fancams, full fancams, ceiling fancams, etc., idols now have to dance more intensely, and perform as intensely even when performing live.
It's seriously difficult for idols to hit big nowadays

That's why idols from big/mid-big agencies are all sweeping through the upper competition. As soon as they debut, the foreign fans automatically flock in and their YT views are just of another dimension

They also earn way more money

But K-pop has also developed as much so it's a big advantage that they can earn foreign income/attention. For example, they can get a strong core with high YT views with foreign income, etc. etc.

There are less and less places for idols to stand in public TV. Just look at Juyeon and Chuu (T/N: they are guesting on Amazing Saturday)..ㅋㅋ this is their first public TV broadcast ever since their debut people are f*cking showing their inferiority complex towards them saying how they've "never heard or seen them before". There are so many people who just can't let idols live... they are always bringing down rising idols and it's f*cking severe

They are treated like they did something controversial with the littlest action and so many people dig into their private lives... Maybe it's due to the development of the Internet but to be honest, even 2nd generation idols will get ate if they came out now. It's especially severe nowadays

For real, the standards are way too high now. Is having 100M views that easy?
