Star Struck

An article in the Chosun Ilbo says young Koreans' obsession with celebrities is a troubling sign.

From the story:

'Twenty years later, kids.daum.net, a popular Internet portal for children, surveyed 10,478 kids about their preferred profession as adults and found that 41.6 percent or 4,364 of them wanted to be singers. When combined with the 892 (8.5 percent) who chose actor, 50.1 percent of the children surveyed wanted to be entertainers. Only 110 respondents said they wanted to be scientists, ranking 19th out of the favored professions.'

I see no problem with kids wanting to be entertainers. Of course, I come from a country where celebrity obsession is at a maximum. I think the star culture is ridiculous, but if a kid wants to be a singer or actor, why is that a problem?
