The K-Pop Experiment: British Band Take On 100 Days Of Korean Training | This Morning

[@urclue]

Guys, they are not KPOP. *They are GLOBAL POP Boyband* with sprinkle of Kpop training. It’s good marketing for Dear Alice and SM, both. Dear Alice to make noise in Kpop world and SM to make noise in West Entertainment world. Not complaining, love the two world collides. Hope Dear Alice thriving and success. x

I would say Kpop is a kind of performing arts focusing on perfection in delivery. It's like we awe at people doing beautifully choreographed circus performance or even well put musicals. When the artists put their best in their performances and breathe with audience, the audience feel the energy of the artists and become in sync with the moment. Kpop music is short, catchy, lots of visual elements and constantly changing. Plus what messages they bring are not decadent but bright and fresh appealing to the younger generation. I think that's where all popular music of the globe should head together, not only Kpop.

[@biggusduckus6489]

It’s music and dance theatrics , mass produced, sth like that

[@Chloe-22441]

There are also many singer-songwriters similar to Adshallen in Korea. However, in Korean families, teenage children have the initiative in TV remote control. Teenagers love K-pop broadcasts and like to cover their dances and post them on TikTok & SNS. In the era of the development of SNS, it seems that they definitely want visual SHOW more.

Then they train for years to compete for a place in the agency’s band. These guys got just 100 days. All I’m saying is you all need to stop expecting a Caucasian version of BTS, it’s just not happening because western culture raise kids differently to the east. Plus the Korean music industry has its own business structure. Super fans that organise fan cafes and Ommas that focus on their favourite member, they all contribute to the successful marketing of a group. Taking to social media to proactive promote, defend and even attack enemy sources such as rival group fans. It’s an entire living entity over there and only exists there.

A One Deidades sácatelos del hocico, ellos se llevaban bien, pero igual pasaron bastantes cosas que los fueron distanciando, así que no hables sin saber, ya quisieran estos muchachos (y hasta BTS) lograr todo lo que solo en 6 años de carrera hizo 1D, así que más respeto igualado

[@nz0569]

I wish them lots of success and happiness. It’s great to see new faces and them being foreigners it’s great for the industry. I myself follow a group in KPop. Alice all the best fighting!!

[@KY-jd1nl]

They seem to speak well and have a lot of charm. Hope their music is good too, will be tuning in for their debut

[@parkarin6743]

Kinda misleading tho.. its actually brit boy band not kpop boy band isnt it? 🤔 Its just band training from kpop style of training.

[@tymyangel]

I can't wait to see them interacting with Mark Lee.

[@reckonerwheel5336]

I’m so interested in how their marketing and music will be influenced by Kpop. Will the styling be as out there? Will the music be as genre-mashing? Will they do variety type videos? I imagine they might have a simpler aesthetic if their core demographic is going to be Westerners, music included.

[@pandumiharja6769]

idk why the western are still shocked that the trainee system was that serious and almost like a millitary bootcamp. meanwhile most of the kpop idols today were a trainee since they're still in elementary school, especially for those who debuted under sm entertainment

Sorry to say but 100 days is not enough 😅 Kpop groups are like a well oiled machine, with excellent choreography, great vocals while dancing, and good humour. However, I love these guys already and I wish them the best ❤

[@dalliemmanuella8713]

They are just using the 100 days as a background. In the interview they said that they had trained individually before becoming a group. So they only trained as a kpop group for 100 days. It's not even like they are going to become a kpop group.

Cheering them on. It's not an easy industry to succeed in, especially for foreigners, and the training is absolutely gruelling but you can do it! ❤ - A

[@PaperDoll127]

Are they back in the UK already after the 100 days training? So they’re going to promote where? Will they join music shows in Korea? Anyway, I have only seen clips of them on X. I wish them luck and more energy to sustain everything. With the Korean boys it’s a whole culture they grew up with and it’s different for these boys. 100 days training is not a lot. I hope they find their own color I am sure SM has assigned a concept for them already. I am curious how all these would pan out so are they going to retain their British personalities but perform K Pop style? From this interview, clothes wise they’re not yet K Poppified. But incorporating British fashion into K Pop can be a breath of fresh air too. Will see how they evolved. Anyway, what Ten said was true you gain the most experience after you debut.

[@justmeajah]

Yep

[@brwneydangel]

I feel like they or whoever is overseeing and managing them, miss the whole point of what kpop is and what makes it so good. So far it seems no different than a western boyband retry. Where's the concepts, the aesthetics, the makeup and outfits?

[@reckonerwheel5336]

Yeah, and in their vids so far, their look is very natural and "college boy". So maybe their main label thinks that if they're gunning for a Western audience, the flashy outfits and heavy styling can actually be seen as cringey. Not a bad thing imho, since it's the dancing and singing that really matters at the end of the day.

[@jesusrivera0509]

That's because they're not a kpop groups, they're not trying to be one and won't promote as one .... they're only having kpop-like training

[@헐-y3c]

Lucky guys...I envy you...I hope you''ll be great wonderful singers Everyone loves

[@itsme_j_]

This is such a refreshing take in Kpop and I'm so excited to see their concept but at the same time K-pop is not K-pop anymore. It's going in the west direction way too much.

100% ARMY HERE. BTS is known for their difficult choreo. Up to 16 hours they had to do a day. As the others as well. If you can sing your choreo on point and most of stay humble and treat your fans with love. Respect each other and your company you will make it far. You guys look like a great bunch of guys. And with hard work and dedication I think you will go far.
