Shocking revelation about the true meaning of the word 'Idol'

"Idol" is a word commonly used among young people, but not everyone understands its origin and true meaning.

The word "Idol" is believed to originate from the Latin "Idolum," meaning image, symbol, or revered figure.

In ancient times, the term "idol" was often used to refer to statues of deities that people worshipped in polytheistic religions.

In popular culture today, the word "idol" means a celebrity or figure of high standing, referring to artists, singers, movie stars, or any famous person/character who is widely known, admired, and even worshipped.

In Vietnam, youth idols are not limited to domestic celebrities but also extend to many other countries such as South Korea, China, Japan, the United States, and Europe…

Furthermore, young people also idolize people outside of the entertainment industry. They could simply be successful entrepreneurs, inspirational figures, or philanthropists.
