The best way to be a K-Pop trainee

Before K-pop singers were stars, they were trainees. Trainees live, train, and perform together starting at a very young age. Some trainees start when they’re as young as 11 years old, but many don’t get discovered and join a company until they’re in their late teens, so don’t despair if you’re a little older! Many K-pop trainees and idols are Korean, but it’s not an absolute requirement and people of all ethnicities and races can audition. Skill and personal have a lot to do with your potential success, as does your willingness to do hard work.
