Chapter 18: The Pressure of Perfection

Perfection is a concept that has always haunted me. As a K-pop idol, there's this constant pressure to be flawless in everything we do—from our performances to our personal image. And while I understand the desire for perfection, I've learned that it's okay not to be perfect.

I've come to realize that our imperfections are what make us real. It's what makes us relatable. People don't want to see us as perfect beings; they want to see us as human beings who struggle, who grow, and who keep trying, even when things don't go as planned. And that's something I've learned to embrace.
