KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — You may have heard of the reference of ‘idols’ in the media due to the global popularity of K-pop around the world.
Those dreams will come true for a group of Malaysian girls who will be unveiled today as KLP48, a sister group to the popular J-idol group AKB48.is presents: a brief guide to Japanese idol culture.In 1962 Japanese record producer Johnny Kitagawa founded the first male idol group called Johnny’s, a quartet of members Hiromi Maie, Osami Iino, Ryo Nakatani, and Teruhiko Aoi.
Physical beauty became an important factor as male idols portrayed charming princes and female idols were perfect, innocent, and feminine starlets. But the Korean wave bringing in the first and second generation of K-pop idols in the 2010s has revived idol culture in Japan and many new groups have been formed.
Once they are accepted as a trainee, they are to perform in groups for monthly evaluations where weaker members will be eliminated until the company settles on the final group members. Idols used to communicate with their fans through fan mail or emails, but with social media, fans can maintain a parasocial relationship with idols through fan platforms such as Weverse.
The large group of girls are split into several teams , each with their own concepts, with some bold and confident while others more youthful and ‘idol-like’.
