>>14718957Relationships aren't really the problem. It's keep them secret that is the problem. Some idols and celebrities over there do it the same way you would with a family: you introduce this person to your fanbase and have them interact with the fanbase in an upbeat and wholesome manner so they become accustomed to you and accept the relationship.
Idol fanbases have a parasocial relationship with their object of admiration, but the dynamics of a relationship are still there. It's no different from a teenage girl bringing home a guy to impress her parents, siblings or friends and then when he's not welcome act defensively that they don't like him and just ruin the relationship they had with their parents or whatever. Sure, the culture is super weird but it still follows the fundamentals of family dynamics.
