However, I disagree that purity and or fidelity is held to a high standard in modern culture, at least in the mainstream. Any place where you can build a profession on top of doing modeling or gravure work, counts as a place where sexually-suggestive background isn't a big deal. Korea and Japan are obviously the prime candidates for this as you can even be a politician with such a background, but China has seen women gain a lot of freedom in how they live their lives.
Hell, the same applies to Western countries that use OnlyFans.
At the end of the day, I believe whomever can use whatever resources they have at their disposal to further their success in life, including their own bodies. But that is an opinion rather than a fact. A lot of people, including ones here, don't approve of that behavior but the #1 thing to understand is that you will never please everyone. Someone will always be unhappy with what you do. This also applies to traditionalists in the aforementioned countries.
If some idiot wants to spout negativity, then fuck them.
I'm actually not sure about the finances with respect to idol work. Obviously there's a lot of hardship, and only a lucky few get to the final stages of growth, which necessitates a certain type of celebrity who's open to working with sleazy middlemen. That's the unfortunate reality of any business or organization: it is ruled by those who have money, irrespective of moral compass or competence.
