​@@ntirenganyatheonest295 It's okay, as a person who also wants to be a K-pop Idol, I was scared at first! But then, I wasn't anymore, because you now what? Big K-pop Idols like BTS, BLACKPINK, Stray Kids etc They all went through it before success, they went through everything we fear, but they are here, brilliant and famous today! So if they have it, you and I, and many others, can do it with confidence and a lot of sincere hard work!

[@janelleslayss]

Heres my advice, "You cant one day say i want to be a kpop idol, you need to actually work hard before being an idol/trainee" start off locally! Heading to korea is a whole different world. You need to realize being a kpop idol is like being a artist, artists who write their own songs, wanna call yourself an artist? Requires more work than just saying what you want to be.

Not gonna lie you sound a bit ignorant here, because how would you get a company to sign with you if you’re not appealing to the general public because all companies care about is profits and if you’re not appealing to the general public or you’re not talented enough or pretty enough they you will not get signed under a company, because what’s the point of debuting an idol if they’re not gonna be successful or appealing to the general public you sound pretty ignorant here, being a K-pop idols, very harsh, and you need to face the truth and if you can’t become a K-pop idol, then you can’t you can’t dream your way into becoming a K-pop idol if you can’t I’m sorry to rain on your parade, but that’s just how it is

[@eepyru]

not the kids in the comments getting mad bcs of this video lol,, ig it's true that young teenagers are very passionate and emotional to the point they forget that things are not that easy and it's important to consider several factors because your health and wellbeing matters more than anything. right now if i was 14 let's suppose i would be mad at this video too and i'd probably comment something like “stop discouraging people omg if they're passionate enough let them go for it it's difficult but they're passionate and that's what matters the most” but as you grow up you realise that things are not that easy. i have been a kpop stan for 7 years now and i'm 19 years old atm and i know damn well how hard it is to survive in an industry that is so fast-paced and stressful. the truth is not everyone can go for it even if they're passionate i know several idols who left their careers because of health issues. were they not passionate enough? no but they realised that the industry is really affecting their health and it's time for them to take control of their health and take care of themselves. this video is not to discourage anyone rather to warn people about the industry because it is indeed a harsh industry and so you must make sure 100% that you are prepared to go through all the things listed above. lots of kids be like “no im really passionate omg idc about anything else i just want to show my art to the world” and then they end up crying because “i kinda regret all of this is so difficult to put up with” so just be careful ok? don't let emotions take over you and think carefully through all of it that's what this video is saying. don't be impulsive.

[@Kooloveblavk]

When I red the comments it feeling like all the comments were written by people who are younger than 16 they are so unserious about this topic I don't think they have any idea about this world, and I'm young than 16 too

[@Kooloveblavk]

There are also an another dark topic. Se*ual harrasment. K-pop idols; mostly trainees or trainees from foreign countries experience this cause they cannot speek against anyone there. Some trainees also stated that they get se*ually abused by staffs 😢. I red this on Quora a Ex-JYP trainee wrote that once when she was a trainee at JYP entertainment a staff member, age 30-40 told her, "If you obey whatever I say then I will ask J.Y.Park to put you in a group" and she also wrote that he also kept sending her nxdes she got very scared and quit the process. She deleted this post after some days cause she was afraid that the entertainment will take any actions against her. And i also heard about another trainee who didn't revealed with entertainment she trained in but she said she was a trainee for 3 years and in that period of time she became very unhealthy and once she was admitted in hospital for 1-2 weeks and because she is unhealthy she wasn't able to perform in the weekly auditions and she was admitted in the hospital and that happened when she became an A grade trainee which mean she is closer to debut so she got scolded by the staffs that she wasted their time she wrote alot but I can't write all of them here. I'm just saying this. Don't take it wrong. Just remember everyone can smile and speak sweet words but you don't know what's happening behind the doors. If you guys think JYPe is a good entertainment then what is your answer for "Twice" and their 9 comebacks a year? Or do you ever wonder why Jyp idols are always very pretty? Or How do they have better vocals than most of the idols? You guys may think JYPe don't have any dark side and some of you guys maybe think that cause of their survival shows (eg: A2K). You guys have no idea how many trainees had suffered in more darker situations especially foreigners. And also imagine that your parents also don't support you 100% they may have send you to Korea for training but they don't have any intension to see their child become a k-pop idol. And i also believe that every company has that one important dark chapter, For example : Yg - not promoting their idols, visuals Jyp - Over working, visual = plastic surgery Hybe - Over working, visuals Sm - strict diets, visuals And many more and basically all they need is your beauty they can coat your talent even if you don't have what they need. I can write even more and sorry if it's too long

After this summer holiday, I’m going to do intense training for all qualities needed and submit my audition in 1 to 2 yrs. my closest friends are leaving the country I was born and raised in anyways bc of their personal life (I’m not sharing it) so this would be a nice chance for me to start preparing!!

I've wanted to become an Idol since I was 13 years old and despite the fact that I was a black African and at the time I hadn't seen any other idols that looked like me I was pretty determined and thought that if I just practiced enough maybe the universe would see my efforts and make a way, however my family was not only completely against it but they didn't even have money to send me to auditions since we live in South Africa (I'm from Zimbabwe) and the travel costs to go to Korea for an uncertain opportunity would be too much, and I experienced some depression because of this, I started to hate my skin color and facial features, and by extension I began to resent God who had made me like this, sometimes while showering I'd scrub at my skin until it hurt because I hoped that if I scrubbed hard enough my skin would become lighter, it's been about 5 years since then and seeing how Fatou of Rania was able to debut makes me wonder if maybe it just wasn't meant to be for me, don't get me wrong the girl is absolutely gorgeous and I'm supporting her whole heartedly since I feel that her presence can inspire other young girls who still have the time to not give up and just do their best, if anyone reads this I just wanna say that maybe now it seems unlikely but in a few years the impossible may become just a little more attainable so don't give up, I'll be supporting you all and awaiting your debut ❤❤❤

[@PinkiePies_Pie]

Yes, people with darker skin can audition but getting into The company is a whole different story I know I may sound kind of racist here but I’m just gonna just tell you all the facts the K-pop industry has never been the most accepting place to people with darker skin, and the chances of you, becoming a successful K-pop idol with darker skin, are pretty much nonexistent, because K-pop idols with darker skin just simply aren’t appealing to the general public, and Korea is obsessed with beauty and youth so if you don’t fit with the beauty standards, you’re not gonna be very appealing and Korea is absolutely obsessed with light skin, but if you don’t have a light skin, your chances of becoming a K-pop idol, pretty much nonexistent I know that made sound harsh, but that’s just the reality of the situation the only types of K-pop groups you might have a chance with our groups like VCHA but it is not a K-pop group it’s a international group made by a K-pop company I know there are some exceptions like K-pop groups like black swan, but groups like that are very, very rare and you’re definitely gonna face a lot of criticism I mean, if you truly want to become a K-pop idol, despite that then ain’t nobody stopping you, but I’m just telling the fact of the matter

[@missinglooona]

@@PinkiePies_Pie “the chances of you, becoming a K-pop idol with darker skin, ARE PRETTY NONEXISTENT” what do you mean “nonexistent”? I know you stated many times that you’re not trying to be mean but that’s straight up rude. The K-pop industry has a LONG way to go and for you to say that it’s pretty NONEXISTENT of a darker idol to become an idol is rude. and the word “NONEXISTENT” is a terrible word you’re using to say it 😭 you could’ve said “kinda a low chance” to sound more nicer. Another thing is that I NEVER asked for any information about this, plus I already know about this information as it’s so obvious that my comment is talking about it 😭 i understand you’re trying to say a “fact” but the way you said it is worded wrong. Do better. Also to add is that many things you’ve said here is so unnecessary 😭 once again I understand that you’re trying to say a fact but it seems like you’re trying to upset me with this information. And if you were just trying to say that it’s HARDER to become an idol because of my skin you could’ve said that instead of this. Quite rude and disrespectful of you.

[@lookatthehottest104]

Yes but there are way too many downsides with k pop, it would be a huge mistake in life if you plan to make money out of it, cuz let's be honest, you don't control your success, it literally depends 100% on the management the company gives to your group... So it doesn't matter how hard you try cuz you are still subject to what the company has prepared for you... You can do it if you love it, of course, but earning money might not come with it, the only actual millionaires are black pink and BTS...

No matter what consequences would be there to face if you believe in yourself you definitely would have become what you wanna be, and if you wanna achieve something, so for that you also have to sacrifice something, and I'm taking the guarantee that your all the sacrifices would worth it all, you just have to keep fighting , cry as much as you can during the period of achieving something, crying is not a problem, that's not mean you are not strong, you just have to look forward not backward, forgetting your past life and look for your future is the best thing I think, just don't give up, Namjoon said that you also can be happy during the period of achieving something, not only when you've achieved it, so keep fighting...........

Not everyone can became an CEO or something under companies or actress also withow education what I'll do ? It's difficult , I want to sing and show the world my story and emotions , I want to be one of them , also my health doesn't help and my mental health is very fragile , my dreams is far away , also I have 0 support for this so it makes it even more imaginable , even tough I know it won't came true , I still try to improve myself because maybe one day it will be true , it's hard also being in an very judging society also not fully fitting the standars and being an European makes it also very hard so I'm letting this here P.S : I know I won't became but maybe one day I'll do this , so I'm saying have courage to do this and try your best , continue to dream , maybe it will come true , no ?

Hello everyone You probably all know the details of being an idol It’s not bad to dream, but many dreams cloud your mind, if you have shortcomings, your mind smooths them out, but in reality you remain just as insignificant. In the comments, everyone wants to be an idol, but unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you will be 70%-80% unable to become an idol, why: because the world is full of dreamers like you,but they will be hundreds of times better than you, and you will not have a single chance to be an idol! And so what is required from the trainee (or from you) You must be perfect in everything (even if at least someone supports you, he will definitely think that you are nuts) Koreans hate it when a dark-skinned idol appears, even if the group is popular Korean fans will hate this man and he will eventually be kicked out of the group. This also applies to European appearance, believe me, it will be difficult for you, even if you become an idol, your group will not become popular because of you, the group will simply be hated (at least you’ve seen a lot Idols of European appearance, the answer is no, there are very few of them, listen to their interviews - how they went the path of an idol. If you do not meet the criteria listed below, please give up your dream 1. Very thin physique 2. Be tall, 155-175 3. Vocals and rap, they must be perfect 4. White skin 5. Pretty little face 6. Gentle voice 7. The most important thing is Charisma! 8. Dance must be at the highest level 9. You must be able to sing and dance at the same time 10. Knowledge of several languages ​​(polyglots are highly valued there) 11. Flexible body 12. Stress resistance 13. Long hair 14.Have money with you (because companies will not pay you anything until you sign a contract (that is, until you become a trainee) 15. Competitiveness - where other interns will hate you (but they don’t show it, and they’ll shit behind your back) 16. A Charm + Sexy + cute 17. Cheerful 18. + Please don't say anywhere that you want to become an idol, if you tell someone that, your dream won't come true. 19.Knowledge of the Korean language is mandatory, without it it will be very difficult for you 20. If you were at the audition, 2-4 weeks passed, and the company did not answer you, then I'm sorry, this means that you were rejected and you are not suitable

[@I_p_i_]

There is still a lot that I might not know,Idol = perfect If you are poor and are in another country, 99% of you should refuse, those who are poor in Korea have a chance, but others...... Watch videos of Korean trainees(they know many things about idols than foreigners) This is all for motivation guys, I don’t have any hate!If you have talent in something else, then continue with it, you have no need to become an idol, you have talent (your path to the future is open to you) but are you thinking of becoming an idol? Your dream doesn't match to Reality . You don't want to waste your talent in exchange for a dream that will never come true and you will remain nothing. Some people, please wake up, WAKE UP!

Ive been dreaming about becoming a kpop idol for ages and this did not change it. Rn im 11 and im practicing learning korean and dancing and singing, then when im 13 i will audition with yg entertainment. At first i was gonna go for HYPE but i dis research and yg fits me better. For my singing ive been teaching myself and i sing "super shy" 5 times in a row everyday and im learning korean by duolingo. Im practicing my style and personality and ive pretty much got that. Ive talked to my mum and she is supportive. However the one thing im not sure about is the part about maybe flying to korea. If i get in to the audition and get called to be a trainee, im not sure how to get to korea. Im at Australia rn and my parents are split up so i have two houses. Im gonna telll my dad about this today and see how i will get to korea. Ive been learning a new dance every week so i can get used to dancing. Luckily i was blessed with a skill to learn a dance by just watching someone doing it on repeat. This week i learnt the "watch my 9mm go bang" dance. Im full serious about this and im researching and learning alot at 11 because i feel i should start learning now. Please wish me luck in my kpop journey
