– yes. they know They often look to Twitter to read moods.
OP, this is an interesting post and fun to read the replies… but does the company know about idols who have done something wrong before the article is written?
–There are rumors flying around. One of the most common rumors I hear is about the attitude of idols.
I am new to this area. He talked about pressure from fans. can you give an example?

Do you have a separate team managing social media or is it just one person?

What did you prepare when you joined the company? It’s more like something you should prepare for rather than a specific experience.
– Must speak English. Also, while being part of a fandom is helpful, it’s like ticking a time bomb, so the company avoids people who used to be crazy fanatics.
Do the employees really know about idol dates and plan dating courses?
– Lorol, who said you plan a date course? That’s hilarious. why would you do that? smile. Regular employees don’t know about dating. Rumors are just spreading.
