AKP STAFF

Amber Liu spoke with People Magazine and talked about the pressures idols face in KPOP and the rise of suicides.

You can check out snippets from the interview below.

When asked about the fun when she first started in the K-pop industry.

"It was fun at first...But later the loneliness and all that stuff settles in..."


About social media posts.

"Of course I’m going to post happy things on social media...Because if I post that I'm depressed, nobody's going to want to see that."


About negative comments she would receive online.

"I didn’t realize how much these comments actually hurt me... I am now a lot more open with my friends, and this actually helped me out a lot."


When she learned about Sulli's suicide.

"It was just so hard... I felt really angry. I was angry at myself, too, because Sulli and I talked a few weeks before. It’s like, Man, if I just sent another text, what could have happened?"

If you're gonna comment something negative on this article, just don't. Because it perpetuates this cycle Amber herself said makes her feel worse about herself. The same one that took a lot of beloved stars. So while you may have disagreeing thoughts, please keep it to yourself.

If someone you didn't know was saying things behind your back, you'd be upset right? Probably angry. But when hundreds or thousands of faceless people are saying it, I'm pretty sure it hurts, no matter what you tell yourself. Even if celebrities sign up for this, they don't sign up to be belittled for everything that makes them human.
