Yeah, while some celebrities are definitely more "authentic" than others, ultimately whatever image we craft of them in our minds is a combination of 1) the public image they put out (deliberately cultivated or not) and 2) what each of us wants to see in them to fill the gaps. And then that image in our minds gets further distanced from the real-life individual by however they are being portrayed in the fic.

And yes, I definitely like exploring topics that can be relatable to almost anyone under the extreme microscope of the kpop industry! Not to be all "Celebrities--They're Just Like Us!" lol, but at the end of the day, every idol is just some person experiencing the same world as us...in a different way, of course.
