-Short-term 1, Long-term 4,5 but all except 3 should be the basics
-There are some who solely rely on visuals to make a living.
-I think 2 is the minimum, and if you have 1 as well, it's like the cherry on top.
-If you look at the idols who have been around for over 10 years, the ones with 2 seems to be the one that lasts the longest.
-4 Because they're singers, they'll keep singing and dancing, but to survive, you need entertainment talent so that you can be seen on TV often.
-You can survive with just 1, but I personally can't like someone without 2...
-For singers, it's 2; for the entertainment industry, it's 1.
-As an idol, it's 2; to have a long career as an entertainer, you need entertainment skills + acting skills.
-You need to sing well, not just dance. After all, because you're a singer.... it's probably okay to stick with visuals, talent, and dancing only until your early twenties.
-If you're going to keep being an idol, it's 2; 1 is for becoming an actor, model, or influencer, 3 is for becoming a producer, and 4 is for transitioning to a variety entertainer.
-Life as an entertainer is all about visuals. If you're an idol, that's your main job.
-Good-looking idols usually end up becoming actors/actresses, anyway...
-Definitely 1; everything else is just an option.
