Do you know Girls'
Generation?
Girls Generation is one of the most popular K-POP star in Korea. They
debut as a singer in their teenage and take top position in their
early-twenties. They sing and dance in fancy stages. And their hair, nails,
clothes are always decorated by expensive accessories. They look like really
shining 'stars'. 
Other K-POP girl groups seem as Girls' Generation. On
this account, many young girls are dreaming K-POP star and make an effort to be
K-POP star.
K-POP girls shine Korea, not only shine themselves. They have so many fans in various countries. The fans love their K-POP girls and mostly love Korea, too. Fans have good images of Korea which their adorable girls live in. And more active fans visit Korea, see performances and consume their money in Korea
Actually, we can easily observe many foreign
visitors who buy some star-advertising-products at Myeongdong or Gangnam.

However, these stars do not shining at all times.
Below video shows a dark side of star.
Krystal in F(x) was fainted on the stage in 2010.
Her age was only 17. She was got the gaff from heavy schedule, and finally
fainted on the stage. She was fainted in other TV program 'Yuna Kim's Kiss
& Cry' in 2011 again. Not only for Krystal, Koo Hara in KARA, Hyeri in
Girls Day and Subin in Dalshabet also fainted on the stage. According to the
entertainment news, they were exploited by their cruel schedules and underwent
insufficient nutrition resulting from excessive diet.
Besides fainting on the stage, K-POP girl groups are criticized by their loud performances.
Above video is an example
of loud performance. They sweep and touch their own body with gaudy clothes. These
days many K-POP girl groups have so-called ‘Sexy concept’, because they catch
and attract men’s interest. For this reason competition of them is overheated
and girls’ performances are more and more provocative.
When they dreamed about star, they did not image faints or loud performances. They are manipulated by their agency. Agency pushes them to heavy schedules and provocative performances, perhaps. I think regulations toward entertainment agencies need for these K-POP star girls. Because heavy schedules nibble their health and cause girls' faint, viewers feel worry about their health and pity for them.
Currently,
there are no regulations toward entertainment agencies in government level.
Government should restrict amount of schedules even if K-POP girls’ have a
positive effect on Korean economy (especially tourism). For example, K-POP
girls also are subjected to limited time of business hours like ordinary
officers.
And government and broadcasting stations also
make a greater effort by limiting level of performances sternly. They monitor
performances strictly and grasp for public opinion immediately. Because majority
viewers of music programs are teenagers, these loud performances can have a bad
influence to teenagers. In other words, girls imitate erotic dance or gaudy
clothes. It can cause serious social problems.
For a good example of the effort, 3 Korean public
broadcasting stations suggested regulations of performance lately. Here's
related news link.
I hope that
this approach would be first step for healthy K-POP girls' performances.
Even though K-POP girls do not expose their body or
performs loud shows, they can be pretty and attractive. 
Like above picture, I hope that K-POP girls can
find their purity and their agencies encourage their stars to find suitable
concepts. In agencies view, their stars are a means for their profit. For this
reason, they force their stars to be loud and to assign heavy schedules. To
remove the dark side of K-POP girls, agencies should consider performers and
viewers before they make a concept.
