Life Lessons from K-pop

Over the years as a K-pop fan, I’ve come to notice that the K-pop world and its inhabitants – whether the companies, the idol stars, or the fans – are a microcosm of the world itself. Sure some elements would not be found in real life, but a lot of it mirrors life.

The following posts are some of the small observations (what I fondly like to term my life lessons) gathered for as long as I’ve been interested in K-pop. I hope some of it resonates with you too!

  • You May Not Have All The Talent But You Can Work On It
  • Stay Humble No Matter How Much Success You Achieve
  • Try To Maintain Relevance To Current Trends But Remain Authentic To Yourself
  • Don’t Be Afraid To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone – Challenge Yourself To Do Something New
  • There Will Be Naysayers And Critics – Pay Them No Heed If They’re Just Out To Bring You Down
  • If People Move The Goalposts, You Can Move Too
  • Be Your Own Competition, Always Aim To Do Better Than The You Of Yesterday
  • Things Aren’t Always As They Seem – Or The Grass Isn’t Really Green, It Looks Green Because You’re Not Standing There
  • Life Isn’t Fair – Get Over It
