K-Pop Idols Who Never Had A Dating Ban Placed On Them

Netizens and fans have lots of mixed opinions about K-Pop idols dating, as many believe that idols shouldn’t date for the sake of their fans. This is why a lot of companies restrict their idols from dating for a certain amount of time. However, there have been some idols who never had a dating ban placed on them. Here’s a list of a few of these idols.

1. MAMAMOO

MAMAMOO surprised many people when it was revealed that since their debut, they’ve never had a dating ban placed on them. However, Wheein shared that while they don’t have a dating ban, the members don’t have any time to date.

2. Baek Ah Yeon

While most artists at JYP Entertainment aren’t allowed to date for the first three years of their careers, Baek Ah Yeon didn’t have to deal with this. When she was under the company, she was encouraged to date to help with her songwriting.

I want to date once I find a good person.

3. Pledis Entertainment artists

The agency (Pledis Entertainment) doesn’t necessarily ban dating.

In fact, the agency recommends it so we can let our emotions flow. But there is simply no time. It would mean I have to cut down on sleep to make the time to go on dates. That’s not easy.

— Minhyun
