In today’s society, celebrities are praised and sometimes worshiped by people. As a celebrity become more and more popular, people start to pay attention to their private life such as their girlfriend/boyfriend, houses, cars, and even their family. Tabloids, magazines, and TV stations spend a lot of money trying to get more information as possible about celebrities’ private life, and I agree that not only magazines and TV stations but also people like us also pay too much attention to celebrities’ private life.
As I mentioned before, tabloids and magazines are always after celebrities’ private life. They pay substantial amount of money to paparazzi in order to get pictures of celebrities’ private life. A good example is the People magazine. We can easily find the People magazine at the grocery stores’ check out counter. This kind of magazine contains titles such as “So and so are getting divorced!” which attracts readers’ attention. Sometimes news that is not a big deal is magnified and reported to readers.
In addition to magazines and tabloids, TV stations take part in activities of discovering celebrities’ private life. Some TV stations make programs that are intended to pick into celebrities’ private life.
For example, MTV, a TV station for popular music, have programs that report recent news of celebrities’ divorce, marriage, birth, adoption, and etc. Sometimes camera men hide their camera in a bag and tape secret life of celebrities. When those tapes are brought out to TV programs, celebrities’ lives are vulnerably exposed to the public.
Consequently, a number of celebrities have committed suicide in South Korea just in year of 2009 alone. As same human beings, some celebrities suffer from private life exposure and the exposure leave great scars in them. Due to the exposure depression is one of the most common illnesses among the celebrities. These incidents, suicide and depression, clearly shows us that the public is paying too much attention to the private life of celebrities.
To sum up, I strongly agree that people are paying too much attention to the personal lives of celebrities. And now, the attention of the public, whether it is through paparazzo’s picture of magazines, tabloids, or hidden cameras of TV stations, is crossing the line where it is leaving serious problems to celebrities’ life. Clear evidences like suicide of popular celebrity or celebrities suffering from depression gives us a pretty good idea how much attention we pay to the lives of celebrities.
