Episode 22 - Blackpink, Boa & TVXQ and more: Legacies, New Careers, and Knowing When to Step Away

Added 2025-08-23 10:15:02 +0000 UTC

At what point does it make sense for an artist to step off the stage? In this episode, I’m diving into the tricky balance between knowing when to call it quits and what life can look like after idolhood. From Blackpink, BoA, and TVXQ to legends like Tina Turner, Beyoncé. I’m asking what can you do AFTER all the fun?

What comes next? Maybe it’s touring on your own terms, maybe it’s mentoring, maybe it’s exploring an entirely new arena or breaking the moulds of the typical idol standards/routines. Even groups like BTS make me wonder, would one final comeback be enough, and is that actually healthier for the industry so new acts can carve out their own space?

I’ll share why we should be more leaving parties a little earlier, endings and how they don’t have to mean failure but instead legacy, freedom, and a whole new chapter.

This is my final episode until September 28th!
