No to a Risky Revelation

To keep the interest in a matinee idol, his image should be that of a single and non-committed person. This image retains the attention of female fans, some of whom have the illusion of such idol as their potential boyfriend. For instance, some female fans can be very aggressive in actions, such as throwing lingerie at their performing idol or making fan signs asking for the idol to get the female fan pregnant. While some dismiss such as jokes, well, jokes are often half-meant. Therefore, a matinee idol is careful in admitting if he is committed to someone or is seeing someone exclusively. Managers do not want to risk the abandonment of fans once the idol admits that he is no longer single.

The other side of being the single matinee idol is the projection of being a player. Actions speak louder than words. Thus, when a matinee idol is seen in public with a woman who is not his love-team partner, expect a backlash in social media. Worse is if the said matinee idol is seen with different dates every certain number of days. Versatile Cutie (VC) has found himself in a dilemma in balancing his image onscreen and in private. With a successful loveteam, VC has to live with the expectations of being with his Onscreen Partner (OP). However, behind the scenes, VC seems to have a lot to deal with.

Sometime ago, VC was rumored to be interested in Female Talent (FT). The problem is that the fans do not want VC to date FT, as she has been beset with quite a number of issues. As VC is enjoying a positive image, being linked to FT might not be a good idea. This issue became more pronounced when OP and FT were spotted poles apart in the same show.

Adding interest to the seeming ladies’ man reputation of VC is his consistent presence with a Foreign Model (FM). VC and FM were first spotted together a concert that involved Asian performers. Since then, VC makes it a point to meet up with FM. However, VC knows his duties, too. On the first night, OP was sick, VC was seen partying with FM. The next day, VC was seen visiting OP, which was a good strategy as it kept fans hoping for a real relationship between VC and OP. Although their dates have photos in various social media accounts, the face of VC is often blurred out. In addition, whenever VC and FM are in an exclusive, but controversial, club, they make it a point not to call the attention of other guests.

To protect the matinee idol image of VC, people around him seem to be careful. Imagine how his fandom will react once they figure out that VS is really not interested in OP, and that he would rather go out on dates with other women. Admission on the part of VC will never happen because revelations can be very risky, and his popularity is too valuable to be tarnished.
