Chapter 820

Young "fresh meat" idols are a unique landscape within the domestic entertainment industry. In fact, back when it first appeared, this term—now met with mixed reviews—was given by fans to Japanese and Korean stars, referring to young, handsome, and robust male artists as a typical internet slang term. In recent years, as fresh meat idols have grown in popularity, the domestic entertainment industry has seen a surge of similar stars. Their characteristics often bear a strong resemblance: first, they are sufficiently young, where anyone over thirty is considered "old cured meat"; they have fair skin and a fashionable style, excel at aggressive publicity and hype, and usually lack any real singing or acting skills, yet manage to achieve overwhelming fame.
