I love how the Red Velvet plushies always change from Yeri to Wendy, depending on the outfit of the day! Little details like that are so cute

A pro tip as a current trainee I want to give you guys about digital footprint is you can still become a trainee you just have to sneak your way around it first. I have been training for about 4 years now and one thing that prevented me from getting in a lot of places was my digital footprint. Anything you put on the internet can be accessible by these company’s regardless of time it happened. So one thing I did which allowed me to get into my current company are these step by step: 1. Get a business phone number to sign up with. Business phone numbers are free and the reason you want a new separate number is so they cannot link it to any social media accounts you curren,ty have. Same goes with email. Make a new email just for auditions etc. 2. If you do end up getting in one thing is before you become a part of said company they actually get you to go on a few zoom meets and then come to Korea to do a screen test and talk with you etc. So before this happens make sure to go to any social media’s you have and go to comment history and delete everything. Some stuff that is not to bad can stay but I suggest deleting everything, making your account private, or deleting the account all together. Most of my managers said they often will turn people down who have a big online presence bc of future scandals etc. They check your phones when you are there that is why you have to do this. I hope that this helps out some of you and I wish you all luck on your path to becoming idols!

8:08 Imagine getting kicked out because you're too tall 😭 😭

i dont plan to be an kpop idol but ur videos are really helpful for people who do and its really amazing how u spent so much time addressing it, people can really see the effort put into this video!!

qotd: from what i’ve seen and heard recently on why trainees don’t debut is either because of health reasons, they don’t fit the theme of the group or the skill wise option

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!! I think it's because some trainees join too late and a group just Debuted , which means they have to train for 5-6 years. Some trainees will eventually get tired of it, and either leave, or do lazy job with training.

I think the most common reason why trainees leave is mostly to do with mental health cuss the training is intense and sometimes the dance coach or sinning coach can be really harsh on you and I think the reason why they are harsh on the trainees is because they want them to succeed but the trainees might not see it like that but I think the most common reason why they leave is mental health. And I don’t think height is a reason why they get kicked out cuss there are groups now with members that a tall and short and also one of the seventeen members is short

Your videos really help us a lot especially foreigners like me who want to be a kpop trainee 😇

I think one of the main reasons that trainees dont end up debut is because they dont think they can make it. like there must be so many people who didnt believe in themselves who may have debuted if they did.

0:49 the 28 reasons sneak LOL once a luvie, forever a luvie

Even tho I cannot afford ur Patreon you've helped me a lot! Your KZfaq videos are sooo helpful and informative! Tbh i can't wait to turn 18 so i can actually subscribe to ur Patreon

I've been waiting for this video since the shorts video was released! SO excited to watch!~

I like what you said on trainees ages being a factor in their debut. Also I think they put Tanaka Koki on Loud, not thinking that he would be in the debut group and he surprisingly made it to the final round.

Thank you so much for putting lots of hard work into the videos it really helps me because I'm going to audition for Kpop.

Your videos are really helpful !!! Thank you for sharing all of this information Btw, I love the Red Velvet plushies

Ooo thanks for the information. Please make more audition video 💜

I think emotional maturity would have to be a major reason. Members will have to deal with the public (good and bad), other members, staff, stress, isolation, long-hours, public speaking, etc and I think its a lot to expect a 15 year old to have the maturity to handle it.

For everyone calling JYP the best company, reconsider that choice with silly rules like these 8:23

Great video☺

I'm so excited eeee

Hey luvie you are amazing , i really do appreciate your videos. 💜

Btw now that I'm thinking about it since you have monthly evaluations (for the concept thing) try another concept each time so that the company knows you will fit every concept well

4:34 I feel like #5 is more common than often just because gaining a visa in any country is quite difficult...

I was waiting for 2 bays I can't wait more ☺️

I love your videos so much, I really want to take you course but dont have the money.

By kicked out, do you mean getting kicked out of the company? Does this happen in every case or is it possible for a trainee to not debute while some others do and they just continue their training?

Omg U Look so pretty in the thumbnail

I love how your so helpfull you are and amezing

Hi Irene could you please make a video about if we're supposed to post pictures/ have a social media if we want to become trainees ?

9:21 for the qotd, I think it's the skill or health one! it's fair for both the company and the trainee

If I will be a k pop idol all credits to YOU !! ❤❤❤❤

Cube has recently announced an audition. Can u plz make a video explaining that coz m having some doubts🥺

Heyoo.... Can you do a video on the What type of concept the agency wants means like any 5 agency if u r fine with it can u do it... Pleaseee

Am going to audition for all the current companies taking audition but I mostly wanna be in hype entertainment

Hey Irene I have a Question🤔 Can I make a freestyle video for the online Audition or is freestyle just for zoom Audition good?

Hey I have a doubt....how does a kpop group form?. I mean does the company decide it or the trainees can make choices on their own? If the company decides it then on what basis the company will create the group?

ayo! should u mention in the introduction video if ur good at school? i mean, is it like a good thing in korea so they may make in their heads a good image of u? sorry for the long message ahah

I think it can also be visuals, but they can be two types of reasons related to visuals:- the visual of the trainee doesn't fit the group's concept(ik, u stated this earlier as well but I m just highlighting the visuals part) and maybe like if in the group's final debut line-up, all the trainees are like 'beautiful' and one of them is like 'ugly' (not rly, but like maybe not fitting the kbs) so they might get kicked out. But then again, this depends on the company cuz like I have heard about jyp not paying attention to visuals but paying most attention to their talents. so uhm yeaaaa- sorry for it to be that long....., correct me if I'm wrong thooooo

I want to be a trainee as well like being an idol looks fun but only 1 or 2 ppl in like 5 million from my country have been a kpop idol and they're kinda unknown until one of them came back to my country 2 years ago(?) But thats besides the point. i've told my friends i want to try to audition but my friends keep telling me that it is super hard to be an idol and even though they like dancing and singing, they wld rather keep it as a hobby. But personally, i don't have much interests and idek what i want to do as a future career. And also cos I'm afraid of judgement(?) Or like being in front of a crowd performing it wldnt be good which is why i'm trying to get out of it. And i feel my friends dance and sing better than me or maybe it's because i envy that they have confidence. So uhm if you've made it this far, 1. How do i pursue what i want to do without people telling me not to? 2. How do i gain more confidence? 3. Any tips for how to pass an audition?

can u please make a video on the companies's behivour on the trainees

Hey uhm I was wondering on ur website for the beginner tier if you have to pay monthly or do you just pay the $35 once

Hey I want a video on (what kind of condition you have to pay back the company)

I'm somewhat between 151cm to 153cm (I'm 15) and now I'm really nervous to audition 🥲 i think I'm not gonna get selected(?)

Hey Irene !! I wanted to take some personal advices from u ....can u give me ...i have heard abt ur kpop audition help but i Don't know how does it work ..pls tell 😞😢

I have Auto immune health issues that have gotten better and I can keep up now, but do u think a company wouldent exept me as a trainee because of my health?! thank u so much for ur vidios there really helpfull 🖤

actually I am still not clear about my 2nd and 3rd question also if we are like training so will they provide veg food cause like my id tell you I am a pure veggie person so yeah can you clear that too

Hey Luvie Irane. I am from Uzbekistan and I am wondering if kpop agencies like HYBE accept me or not. I can sing not great but good, i can rap as well, i can dance and freestyle a little plus I am a beatmaker, music producer. To show all my talents, how can i have an audition

7:37 so true! it probably just hurt the boy's feelings anyway...

Unnie i am not a professional dancer nor went to any classes yet can i audition for dance category??

Unnie now when you go your next k-pop audition i wish you and me are in a group i wish

I have a question like if we are selected in online audition, then if you arrive in Korea how will I let the company know that I was selected in online audition and i am supposed to be a trainee now?

For the trainees that don't end up debuting but complete their contracts or in the case when the company removes them or the trainee is eliminated, In these both cases do the trainees still have to pay their debts?

I have a question Can we put background music while recording online auditions for singing??

I'm moving back to korea in a year I'll be around 15/16 and Want to join one but I look American without makeup even tho im japanese and korean

I wanted be idol like i knew that their live is not that good and interesting so now i dont really want to be idol but i want to be translator in Korea in kpop companys :)

is perfect health necessary ? would most companies not consider debuting someone with asthma , for example ?

Can you also upload a video when ador start their auditions

can you plz make a video on how to audition for rainbow entertainment

I’m not sure if you’re going to see this but imma ask anyways: I don’t like to show my skin (above elbows, stomach, knees, etc) do I have a say in this matter? Alsooo I’m a hijabi.. will they accept me even if I have exceptional talent ?

Hi Irene! Im on a throw away account rn to avoid anything, but i have a question. (Kind of related to the video but kind of not haha) So, I’m interested in Korean culture. And yeah, it did spark because of Kpop and Kdramas due to my love for being onstage/behind camera, and I do want to become a kpop idol. But as I dove into the culture a tad bit more, im genuinely interested in the culture itself and not just the entertainment there. Im interested in the food, the language(which I am now trying to learn) the economy, the society, etc. In one of my classes, we are studying different cultures and making food for that culture to share w/ the class. I chose Korea, and i admit, i do ask about Korea a lot in that class because im interested in it. These girls in my class are saying behind my back “omg shes obsessed with Korea, like what the heck? She isnt even Korean. Thats racist/unhealthy/weird.” One of the girls is Korean, so i was kinda sad that i was seen as trying to offend them although i am genuinely interested. So, what im asking is, am I being rude/offensive/culture appropriating/obsessed? Thank you for your videos :)

Hi Irene how much is the beginner tier in Rands because I live in South Africa

I have some issues when I give audition in ador is any problem these days or something else can you tell me or help me

where do edit ur vids what do u ues? :) ILY

How do trainees know what concept the company is looking for...does the company tell them or do they just not know?

If you had a social media acc and they don’t like what u post can they not delete it or something?

I thought height was pretty realistic just for looks but also costume designs will need to be modified and same with choreography but maybe if they debuted a tall person in a group with short/average height ppl then the tall person would be iconic and fans would love it but who knowd

I just gave an audition in jyp and I want to know when I will get an email from jyp? if anybody knows how long it will take, please inform me😢

If I get accepted as a trainee should I delete my social media account even if it’s private

i wanna know that till which age you can give the audition or become trainee ? kindly reply ❤

If you have bulling on your record but it wasn’t your fault and you got blamed for something that you didn’t do, would you be able to explain or would you still not debut?

I think the trainees training is very hard because i see in some videos is this true

But can I know the concept before so I know to show them my look in the concept?

If a trainee who is talented and fit in company's theme for new group but she/he is not korean or doesn't fit in Korean beauty standard . Will company eliminate or debut them?

What your opinion about online audition can I apply and pass (I m not korean )

8:10 pentagon members vs. Jinho

Irene . looking beautiful with the blushing cheeks ❤️💜

Hii I have a question! How cam they check your background?

hey uh i'm 13 years old, 54 kg and 5'3 (just for info) How can i convince my parents that I want to become a Kpop idol? My parents are quite lenient but I'm still nervous. I did watch your video, and I'm going to perform a solo in a family event. but I don't know how can I convince them to go and form a carrier in a foreign country where even they have never visited, and they also don't really know about Kpop. I am an Indian, you know how worried they are to secure my future, I talked to them that I want to be a singer as my carrier in the future, but they said first i need to set an educational background, and continue singing as a "hobby". They are not wrong, I am going to complete all my studies. I am thinking of giving auditions, and then move to Korea (If i somehow convince them) at the age of 17 (grade 12) and complete my highschool there along with giving public auditions. Also I am a vegetarian, and my parents strictly hate non vegetarian and stuff. In korea, almost everyone is non-veg and that is one of the major issues I think my parents wont allow. Please give suggetion and answer to this question in any of your upcoming videos. I watched many videos of your channel, and they are very useful. Thank you for reading and hoping for an answer in your upcoming videos.

What about rich factor? I hv noticed Big 4 grp idols r from rich family. For eg Enhypen, TxT , Stray Kids, Treasure , New Jeans , Le Seerafim . I also noticed after Bighit become rich their newer grps strangely all happened to hv idols from wealthy to upper class family. Is there any particular reason for that? R they biased towards rich trainees or is it bcs the fees is very high?

can i be a idol if i have some scars on my back

I am a music and dance lover but and I want to become a k pop idol as a rapper so can you please share some tips for rapping please!

in which survival show that kid was to debut and name or group name please 7:25

Hello Irene! I just want to ask you about flight tickets. If we live in a different country and pass, does the company pay for us, or do we pay it ourselves?

I'm very curious. When you become a trainee, are all your needs provided by the agency? For example, clothing and skincare needs. Was it bought by your own money or was it bought by an agency?

How do you even know these stuff?? Anyways thanks you soo much for working this hard for us to know every single detail about debuting⭐✨

My visual is not good. I have not korean beauty standard. My age is internationally 18 and in korea 19. But Im a good dancer and I can sing very well. And Im ready to hard work and take risk. Im really want to become a kpop idol. Do you inspire me or tell me stop dreaming to become a kpop idol?

if you upload videos of you dancing or watch others explanation Or dance etc videos will that be a mistake you make when it comes to digital footprints?

Can anyone please suggest me some hip hop dancing for beginners to advance level channels and also for vocal training for beginners to advance level which i can learn through KZfaq pls

Can wait 43

I am waiting to watch this video! :o :)

I'm jus asking if i am a trainee who wants to debut but its id say 175 cm, can still debut??? Right?

WHAT SHOULD I DO IM 153CM AND 13 IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF ME PASSING MY AUDITIONS??!

I love you

Trainee A I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THEM 😭😭😭

I have question can I audition for HYBE if I can't sing?

Let's assume that you apply for one of the auditions and you have been accepted .. Then what would happen exactly I mean you will go to south Korea and you are gonna be a trainee for 4 or 5 years at least and then you don't know if you are gonna be debt or not Let's assume that didn't pass and you were eliminated What will happen after this Your will go back to your country or stay there and work and your whole 5 years of training were a waste of time or what Please can you answer this question I really need an answer

Well, I guess the most realistic reason that a trainee can't debut is probably the difference between skills between the trainee and it's group...

how do they choose solo artists

Hello, I want to debut as a kpop idol I am 18yrs old can I still have change to be a trainee and debut.

Question. Can you get a part time job as a trainee?
