[ENG/CHN/IDOT] What is being in a girl group like? (Feat. hardships from training period)

[@MrChannelforwatching]

The only person here I really follow is Seulgi but all of them made me tear up. They're so down to earth and hardworking, I love them all

[@funnylolish]

MrChannelforwatching dude you need some MAMAMOO in your life!

[@MrChannelforwatching]

Gerlee Amgaa I know I've only seen montages of them but I already LOVE them lmao

[@funnylolish]

MrChannelforwatching oh alright haha! Have you seen their immortal song performances?

[@MrChannelforwatching]

Gerlee Amgaa I have not! Should I go check them out?

[@funnylolish]

MrChannelforwatching dude you are missing some really amazing stuff!! Please please watch Delilah by mamamoo on immortal song if you don't have that much time! Please just this one and it will change EVERYTHING OH MY GOD!! If you want more than I am more than welcome to guide you to become a moomoo haha!! But if it's not your taste then that's alright as well haha but please give this performance a chance😊

[@anneyygg]

i can never understand the reason behind the obsession with idols' weight. how can you expect them to dance and sing at the same time but not let them eat??

[@vercas.1664]

I can feel your progile picture

[@yuzihua]

the kpop industry is messed up

[@bellarose6873]

But why not teach them how to be healthy, how to eat healthy and exercise in a healthy way?

[@lamb2004]

diet culture is very popular and glamorised in lots of asian countries i guess that’s why the kpop industry still keep doing it to their idols

[@angelic4153]

@@bellarose6873 Because they want them to be near the underweight stage so even then being healthy would lead to a healthier and more normal bmi which they can't have since camera adds 10 pounds. If you haven't noticed most idols with normal healthy weights had to lose weight prior debut and some even ate healthy and exercised but they can't put on much muscle either so as a result the harsh diets.

[@boypandacan1615]

Aaaand this is why nobody should be bashing these hardworking idols. They have been through a lot.

[@Xxxsorrow]

They are all lovely ladies. I'm so happy they're speaking out about these issues. It's so important for the industry and the fans because we only get the "finished product" of their hard work. We don't get to see what they have to go through.

[@lovieyraee]

yeahh..

[@jesh626]

In the long run, the way they've taught these women what their values are: their weight, their beauty, their looks; as if that's all that matters, is super detrimental to them. It's extremely sad and upsetting to know that idols we admire have had to go through so much body image shaming and it's being called just "tough experiences" to get to where they are today. They deserve better. This industry doesn't care about them, they only care about making money

[@serpenttiini3462]

Bea Santos girls next door is their drama's title, the plot is ok but they acting kinda threw me off-

[@Vampire54Princess]

It was bad in the beginning but it got better as it went on lol

[@SYF-xc1ec]

Idols more like industry puppets. I feel sorry for these girls. agencies should stop with their inhuman treatment towards their talent.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

Seulgi, Moonbyul, Somi, Yooa, D.ana, Sohee and Sujeon, all of them, I feel so bad for them. Also, the online bashers are probably just jealous of them and probably never even met them in person. They all seem like such nice ladies! The KPop industry is brutal and I feel bad for idols, tbh.

[@kia5350]

No one idol deserves to be hated for chasing their dreams because they had through for so much hardship, and it's really unfair that they gain hate just because someone are chubby or "not pretty". They deserve successful, a happy life, health and so much love. Please support idols for who their are and their talents, don't for their appearance.

[@kia5350]

+ And if you're here only for their appearance, please leave. They don't need your negative.

[@Rose-ls5dh]

It’s really annoying when people put down other groups/artists just because they rival their bias. The funny thing is that the idol themselves don’t care about any of that. And it’s mostly keyboard warriors too. The worst of the worst. Seriously, you’ll never or rarely see people openly express hate in person.

[@promisemoua7687]

Somi's dad he's so funny!

[@multifandomedfreak4008]

Exactly 💯 🤣

[@nailakamana763]

It must have felt so good for them to let it all out for once.

[@gfriendbuddy9039]

Every kpop group deserve the world and the love from people because all of them are so hardworking and they face the struggle everyday but they still continue to fight to this cruel world. They don't deserve the hate from people who don't understand what struggle they have been through. Stop the fan wars and let's just support all of them plssss! PS sorry if my English is bad ✌,

[@wlw8264]

you're english doesn't matter when it's obvius you have great intentions

[@yanna6815]

They treat trainees like animals. They make trainee life so hard the trainees feel grateful to become an idol, even if that's very hard too. Because they made it out of hell. The parents' messages were so sweet... I almost cried ㅜ.ㅜ

[@leavemealone322]

Sorry animals shouldn’t even be treated this way :/

[@yanna6815]

@Hey Dreamer Sorry, but no. Not every job involves invading your private life and personal choices as much as theirs, and even being a singer doesn't always involve that.

[@hana-ks8ic]

sometimes it's also because of toxic fans and haters

[@chance.j3290]

I’m so glad and thankful that Irene and Seulgi didn’t give up on their dreams. They never quit being a trainee and push more even though their future (to debut) is uncertain, and look where they are now. Killing it everywhere! I’m sooo proud as a ReVeluv! No wonder Seulrene’s bond is undeniably strong and their chemistry is really something. Red Velvet wouldn’t be that group, without Seulrene. I can’t imagine my life without the existence of Red Velvet’s music. I love my babies to the core. ❤️💛🐰🐻

[@rvhp1502]

Agree 💖💛

[@stanredvelvet3687]

watching this makes me realize how much seulgi went through, and not just her but all girl group idols. she stayed determined and people say she’s lucky that she’s so popular but she worked hard to get to where she is.

[@kyooongie]

this video should have gone viral

[@hector101997]

people always call fans of sm girl groups dramatic for saying sm shows favoritism towards the boy groups but even seulgi knows it's true, lmao. tragic.

[@reyamathur2146]

And that's why you shouldn't hate any, literally any, kpop idol. They go through a hell lot

[@jadeybubbletea9292]

Sometimes i envy this idol for their looks and skills, but at times, i pity them. They go through really tough times and did so much sacrifices. Ramyeon is too difficult to give up

[@jordanoh]

1. girl groups are better 2. no wonder why so many of them develop eating disorders and are depressed

[@palettedpersona]

@@ummnaim5862 First of all, just because you're male doesn't mean you'll automatically like girl groups nor will they like girl groups for the nasty reason you're thinking of. Yes, it's likely but it's not always true. There's also guys who only like boy groups and just not like girl groups. You might not see them a lot but they surely exist. Second, regardless of gender, there's perverts. You're right, there's guys that like girl groups because they look and act sexy (not all of them though) but there's girls who also like girl groups for the same exact reason. Once again, do not be stereotypical. Plus, there's nothing wrong with liking sexy concepts as long as you're not creepy and you don't discredit the idols for acting that way. It isn't always their choice. I'm sure the OP likes girl groups more than their image and pretty looks. His comment shows that he's more considerate than you're implying (the #2 with the mental health). So please, pause and check before you mindlessly go at someone, it won't waste people's time.

[@LK-ob5qo]

For me it feels like Girl Groups, have much more rules, for example you have to weight less than 50kg and things like that+the people are much more judging than to bg, so yes....and these are just a few examples, so I think you're kinda right

[@arson2438]

1. Please don’t compare since they all work hard. 2. It also happens to guys.

[@Broccavo]

Not necessarily girl groups are better. In my opinion, I think girl groups and boy groups are both good. They both go through hard shit, and they basically go through every same thing. Only a few differences

[@anti_fragile]

both girl groups and boy bands are great (though talented GGs tend to be overlooked for pretty BBs 👀) but i will admit the standards are higher for female trainees to survive in their company. their weight, appearance, skill, all of the standards bbs must fill are like 100 times stricter for girl groups. i respect the women in kpop. let's not forget the fact that they still have periods and must perform through them.

[@beenanamilk1579]

Am I the only one laughing at Somi's dad story 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gopikanair5041]

I'm proud of all female idols and I respect them because even after going through this much they put up happy faces for their fans . But I want them to know that wherever you go or however you look we will always support you and love you .

Awww is that why moonbyul doesnt sing much? But why i love her voice 😭 and omg i respect all these girls so much

[@ShinsRamyeon]

Yeah They said her voice was too “deep” and “didn’t” go well with the other members, so they forced her to become rapper. It’s sad but it’s how the music industry works, not everything can go your way.

[@XxwalaweixX]

V!XX4N æSTHETIC But everything is okay now.. she's singing in latest few song... I think it's a progress

[@lalolara123]

Being in a girl group is tough shieeet, but I really admire and respect them for their hard work. Only wish all had more courage and self-confidence because they are all pretty and hard working if they are idols.

[@cherissetillman8973]

One thing i can say i love MoonByul singing. But they were right on the money with changing her style from vocalist to rapper. I'm glad she is now singing more but she was..her voice was/is made for rapping. And she is really good at it. I love her tone. It worked well. So her company made a good decision

[@yuriwang7861]

Cherisse Tillman Solar is the one telling her to RAP...she is Moonbyul first RAP teacher...

[@abril6392]

Questions Their companies let them talk about how harsh are the company here?

Sry for my English I hope they would be okay after this Ps : sohee and yooa look alike here

[@rahma6992]

she already had her debut, punishing her is pointless lol. It's a bit too late, they can't really kick her out of the group now bruh

[@muichirotokitotokito6819]

actually it won't affect the company and it's a good thing because when people see the hardship that the idols used to go through people may support them ( become a fan) etc... so i don't think the company will punish them , i believe there's some companies may even tell the idols to say those things

[@hoanganh3426]

jihyo is the meaning of perfect good then :)

[@ShoutaFuwano]

It's okay to complain about their diet as long as they don't actually get fat, haha. Also, it's known that training is very difficult so it's not really any different than an Olympic athlete talking about the problems they have training.

[@chenjongdaetothenthpower5062]

A lot of idols do that stuff esp when they were trainees like cheating meals due to strict diet. But those were the days. YooA is OMG's princess they can now talk savage and laugh about it and eatwhat they want as long as they maintain their weight. Their label mate ONF aint bothered about it at all they just eat what they want. Training days are the hardest.
