Are the rules placed on K-Pop and J-Pop artists too strict?

Maybe because I'm American I don't really get why there are such rules. I actually expect artists to have scandals and get into trouble. Here, its used to make pop stars more popular (but not necessarily more likeable) . Anyways, the rules seem to be unfair because I don't think that any of these rules makes the artists better at their jobs. So what do you think? ________________ "Dangerous...Abstinence is Dangerous"

Of course being famous means you have to sacrifice some privacy and all that, but I think they still have the right to do what they want without having to ask to be forgiven. ________________ "Ara us toca a vosaltres mirar-me a mi" -Sakura Haruno
