What they say

Some celebrities are overwhelmingly 'consumed' in variety shows. It's a problem with two sides: Someone wants to consume them and someone wants to be consumed (to be more exposed). However, a participant should do artwork according to their conscience and stick to a bottom line of morality. They cannot lower their heads only to money.

It's not wrong for (young actors with pretty faces) to get popular in TV series, but we must stick to the right criteria that the performance's strength and the quality of art matter more for an actor. A TV screen is not a beauty pageant - overwhelming display (of the young, cute actors) will ultimately bore people.
