The Stress of Being a K-Pop Idol, the Story of C.A.P, Former Teen Top Member Who is Happier Now as a Lawn Mower

One of the second generation K-Pop idols, Teen Top, has just made a comeback with only four members. Several weeks before the comeback, their leader, C.A.P, whose real name is Bang Min Su, decided to leave.

Now, C.A.P has a new life far from the hustle and bustle of K-Pop, but it makes him feel happier. This is his life now!

On May 9, 2023, C.A.P made headlines after smoking during his live on YouTube. Some netizens protested about it. C.A.P immediately said that he doesn't like being controlled, especially by fans who only watched his live because Teen Top is making a comeback. C.A.P also said that he doesn't plan to participate in the comeback, especially since his contract with the agency ends in July.

As a result of this incident, a few days later, his agency apologized and announced that C.A.P would leave Teen Top after their discussion. C.A.P also apologized on his IG for this decision.

A few days later, during a live on YouTube, C.A.P admitted that he intentionally mentioned not participating in the comeback in the previous broadcast in order to leave Teen Top and the agency. He said that he often wanted to leave but couldn't, so he thought causing a disturbance might allow him to step back.

So what is C.A.P doing now? Actually, during Teen Top's hiatus, he used his spare time to sell his artwork through social media. This is one of his works.

When appearing on the YouTube channel All About Job, C.A.P also admitted that he now works as a grass cutter who can be called anytime. He said not many people in the city can do this job.

C.A.P wears the boots he wore during his military service and keeps his grass cutting equipment in the trunk of his car. In a day, he can earn 70,000 won (around Rp 817,000), and in a month, around one million won (around Rp 11.6 million).

C.A.P admitted that when he was an idol, he was stressed and often had insomnia. Drinking alcohol excessively didn't help, so he needed sleeping pills. Now, even though his income is not as much as before, he claims to be happier and feels that cutting grass is his talent.

In his live in early July, C.A.P became news again after he stated that idol trainees are brainwashed by agencies and are not allowed to do certain things like smoking or dating. They should only sing and dance, not sell fantasies to fans. What do Klovers think about C.A.P's opinion?
