A question on idol logistics
First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BEAUTIFUL KAUÊ!!!!!! 🎂🥳🎉
Second of all: While watching his birthday live tonight, I noticed that Kauê is clearly videoing from his room in the STBV villa while Ale is out and about and Gabi is in an innocuous room or apartment somewhere. Which got me thinking…how much of their lives (or the lives of any active K-pop group or boyband, for that matter) is actually spent living in the intended “group” house? It was the main setting in the Santos Bravos reality show and Dream Academy, for example, but I wonder how much they are used after group debut. Do any idols live there full time or do they typically live in their own apartments? And if it’s the latter, how do they stay safe and maintain privacy from the public? Is there a “house parent” or HYBE staff whose sole job is to maintain that sort of property?
These are probably things fans don’t (and maybe shouldn’t) know about but they are just some musings from a DUAL who works in supply chain logistics as my 9-5. 😅 The thought of moving idols around while maintaining security feels like a logistical nightmare in and of itself.
