Overseas k-pop fan faints while queuing for concert ticket ( Article from Group 3, November 24 2010)

I do agree with what Wei Hong feels about this article. Indeed, many people would go to great length just to have a glimpse of their idols. Like in this case, the woman starves herself in order to lay her hands on the ticket. To her, catching her idol live in concert was much more important than her own health. Like Wei Hong, I feel that this sort of action was uncalled for. Indeed, although her intention was to get up close with her favourite Korean band, she should not have done this. She should at least grab a bite first before queuing up for the tickets. Her actions would lead her loved ones and friends to be worried about her.
To add to what Wei Hong feel about this article, I feel that they should not be too obsessed in chasing their idol. Like the girl in this article, she had spent so much money just to lay her hands on a concert ticket. I feel that this was unnecessary.
To me, idols are people who we chase, who we follow. But as time goes pass, more and more people would choose another idol to follow, and this cycle would continue to repeat as the trend changes. Hence it is like a bottomless pit where there would be no end. Indeed, I feel that having an idol would make life more interesting, but followers of their idols should have a limit to their obsession.
To conclude, I urge all people who have their own idol, to not spend too much money or time to chase or to follow them. This is because it is only a temporary thing. They should focus on things which are much more important, and having an idol is only secondary.
