Unlike earlier generations, today’s young Korean female entertainers directly curate their images via Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Personal channels (e.g., actress Han So-hee’s Instagram, idol Jennie’s “Jennierubyjane Official” YouTube) offer unfiltered vlogs, makeup tutorials, and travel content. This shift has blurred lines between “idol” and “influencer,” giving entertainers more control over their narratives—and exposing them to intense online harassment.
