There's an article over at BNT News Korea talking about how idols have evolved over the years. Here's the link to the original article.
First, it talked about idols venturing into other 'entertainment areas' like variety shows, musicals and dramas (aside from just being singers). Daesung was mentioned for participating in variety shows like Girls Generation's Sunny and Yuri and T.O.P for starring in dramas like DBSK's Yunho and Jaejoong and Girls Generation's Yoona.
It also mentioned Daesung (again) and Seungri for participating in musicals like other members from other groups like Super Junior's Yesung and Sungmin and DBSK's Junsu.
[Then, it talked about how idols used to lip-sync but now, they are able to showcase their singing skills by performing live. Last point mentioned in the article was how there are now mixed idol groups composed of both male and female singers.]
Just want to give props to these idols who show they can do more!
