Kpop fans be like "idols are humans too!" And then proceed to criticize lipsyncing, hating on kpop idols for not having stable voice while dancing, and being mad over a single wrong move

That guys straight up said that public doesn't see idols as people..... Everybody knows and understands how toxic people can be towards the idols but still it is so prevalent. Your fav or not, treat them all with respect.

Aw the story about that STAYC/Highup Entertainment trainee Kim Minjung was sad. She dropped out of high school and didn't even end up debuting with STAYC. I hope she can find another company, she's cute

Seeing the Taiwanese trainee studying Korean in the down time in hopes of debuting and to ultimately not, was really heart breaking to see. She's cute, I hope she gets her chance.

They are human, just like us. Rest in peace Goo Hara, Sulli, Jonghyun. 😭❤️💐 GIDLE hwaiting!🏰💜

Trainees sacrifices their youth, education and family. Trains hard all day long, everyday for years in numerous fields like singing, dancing, language, variety skills, interview skills and plenty more. And they are doing all of that for free without even the guarantee of debuting and even if they do debut success is still not guaranteed. So be kinder to our idols and appreciate them more, don't make life even harder for them.

"Fame. It means you're loved by people. It's a really dangerous thing, fame. It's a bubble and it's nothing, but it looks like it's something. A bubble, when you touch it, it bursts. I hope they know that. If they don't have another goal after becoming famous, they'll become depressed."

When sumin talked to isa.. I can tell how much they were suffering. And they were trying their best not to cry. And i can tell sumin really cares about them. And Isa is such a great listener.

The focus on Rado, the HighUp staff and STAYC during their pre-debut training period was very nice. Felt bad for the Lydia and Min Jung knowing that they didn’t make it in the end and hope they are doing well now.

Gidle being all smiley in the thumbnail is so freaking CUTE

this needs to be shown to every fan...ur idol is human..there is no PERFECT idol..so be respectful even if a certain group is not ur bias..you can only see what they do on TV, you have no idea what they go through behind the cameras

(G)I-DLE fighting, let get through this difficult times together, excited for LAST DANCE tomorrow

so happy that STAYC is getting attention now and slowly getting successful

Thank you for having Pentagon and Cube’s artists.

My respect for Rado-nim/B.E.P and High Up entertainment went all the way up. I'm a new Stayc stan and they seem treating Stayc so genuinely well. One of the few agencies who really take care of their employees. Salute!

Sometimes when I hear idols talk about the things they went through before debuting and the trainees who didn't get to debut really make me feel bad for them, I just want to talk to them and give them a hug (platonically)

International fans will complain that knetz are horrible then act the exact same way, if not worse. All idols present their best side, but they're human and will make mistakes. They deserve to learn and grow, not be constantly harassed by strangers on the internet and be subjected to lies and rumors after a slip-up. These are real lives that are being messed with.

It really is heartbreaking to see idols suffer. We might think that they signed up for it but I hope everyone agrees that loving your bias should be your focus. Let’s stop fandom wars and stop creating issues which makes our idols suffer. Let’s respect one another. There might be competition but it should be a healty one. No one deserves to suffer.

I really liked this one because they actually touched on stuff that other docs haven't really shown which is the mental and physical stress it puts on trainees and idols. Even if you don't like a group or specific members it's better just to keep your opinions to yourself because you never know what they are going through.

I don’t listen to Kpop but watching this makes me think like wow they really deserve the fame they get

STAYC GIRLS, ITS GOING DOWN 💯

Seeing Twice's songs being practiced and looked up to by hardworking trainees who didn't know where it would go rlly hits knowing that they were in the same place years ago🥺

GIDLE 🥺 I’m so proud of you girls! 💜

I’m so proud of Gidle and the amazing group they have become. Every time I saw them I teared up. I love them so much

literally every single one of these idols put so much hard work and dedication into their careers and seeing how so many of them said they thought about just giving up on life really hurts... we really all need to show them so much love and support

stan (G)I-dle💗

kpop isn't just about your bias. all Korean people contribute to advancing kpop, all the artists are also working hard. for kpop fandom, it is better if we respect each other's artists and fans, stop the fandom wars.

Oh wow STAYC. Did not expect to see them here. They are definitely the next big thing and they are coming back soon! Also, imma cry now seeing Hara. RIP :(

The fact that some of the girls in the scenes shown in the video actually debuted in the girl Group known as 'STAYC'

People on the internet really needs to stop cancelling idols for stupid reasons. Someone should educate them and make them realize that idols are humans too

YAS (G)I-DLE

(G)I_DLE you can go through this, you're so powerful and inspirational !! Love y'all ❤️❤️❤️

(G)I-DLE💞💞💞💞💞

(G)I-DLE 💖

I'm so proud of our STAYC girls

Behind your favorite groups and biases, there's MANY trainees who suffers and sacrifices without knowing that in the end they will not be part of the group

My girls (G)I-DLE 💜❤️

우리 스테이씨..♡ 목표를 이루기위해 열심히 앞으로나아가고 끊임없이 연습하는모습이 대단하고 너무예뻐.. 앞으로 꽃길만걷자😭🌸

STAYC AND (G)I-DLE FIGHTING!!!!

Thank you for the documentary, Thank you for having Ye-Eun, Joon Park, Amber, (G)I-DLE, etc. They speak with honesty and care.

So this was shot in 2019, STAYC had come a long way to get to where they are now. Makes me appreciate them even more.

It'd heartbreaking to see the predebut team of StayC with the Taiwanese girl and the one that dropped out highschool who weren't able to debut

thank you for showing the importance of the pentagon and everyone in the cube thank you

To be honest im soo proud of stayc... these girls have grown up soo well. Please show them love and support them🌸

We love to see Soojin 🖤 (G)I-DLE fighting!!! 🏰

Some days ago, I had seen a pretty similar video on Asian Boss. The only difference was that how the trainees were being treated. Over here, HighUp Entertainment is treating their trainees well, everyone looks healthy and energetic, and even the trainer is teaching her students in an appropriate manner. However, in the Asian Boss video, the trainees were being treated harshly, were being scolded and ridiculed by their trainer for making mistakes, and one of the trainees had a mental breakdown, 'cause despite working the hardest, she wasn't able to debut. I hope these agencies keep on treating their trainees in a proper way, 'cause they work really hard to achieve their dreams.

Girls generation said before that if you are not girls generation you won’t understand them. I hope that fans will respect their favorite artist. I hope they know that their favorite artists are humans too. Nobody is perfect. Even machines malfunction when over used. Fans support the artists. Fans do not own the artists. bullying people should be stopped Ps. Companys should treat their artists better

(G)I-DLE THE LEADERS

Like Ye-eun said, there need to be a system that protect them mentally and even financially. Even the ones that succeed they're too young to manage their finance and need to be protected even from their own family.

im so proud of stayc

(G)I-DLE (G)I-DLE (G)I-DLE (G)I-DLE 💖

I believe that fans are the power to change this heartbreaking part of the kpop industry because we are the consumers so if we press them (high producers and society in general) I'm sure that some things will change. Slowly, we can make a better place to our artists where they can be really human as they are.

(G) I-DLE 🥰💗

Now that STAYC finally debuted it's up to us now to ensure their success and that they won't fall victim to that occupational disease.

(G)I-DLE 💗💜💗💜💗💜

The first minutes of this episode remind me of ryeowook in super junior comeback show when he said he hurt his arm but it's his job to not show us, the fans, the pain (something like this) and it hurt even more :(

Gidle💜❤️

I see (G)I-DLE, I clicked! But wait there's also PENTAGON & other artists I love, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! 😘😘😘

Apreciamos todo su esfuerzo STAYC, swith las ama mucho!!

To all those who say " they choose this path they have to bear the consequences "... yall are not only nornalising the toxic kpop industry rules bit being toxic yourself. I bet you are the person who will go on hating an idol to bring up your fav.

(G)i-dle ❤️

I feel bad for the girls that didn’t make it in stayc but I am so proud of them especially seeun knowing she trained for a few months before debut but she looks like she’s a professional stayc are monster rookies!

I really wish Lydia could have joined Stayc. I thought she was so pretty and seemed like she was working really hard. I hope she's able to continue training with High UP and make a debut someday.

thank you for having STAYC as the trainee ❤❤

I came here to rewatch GIDLE, but I saw familiar faces and those faces are now debuted as STAYC!!

Thank you for having PENTAGON~~!! Also, the idol life is indeed harder than it seems, even since trainees everything is like being on the hunger games and each day the competition is getting harder, also all of them work so hard and yet only a few of them receive recognition is quite sad, tbh. whether you like their music or not, always respect their hard work.

(G)I-dle queens! They have pass through so much! Neverland will be always with you! ❤💜

This video is more important than y'all think. Everybody needs to watch this. Share this and don't stop.

(G)I-DLE ✨💜

This needs to be seen and understood by many

이런거 보면 차라리 잡덕이 많아지는게 한편으로는 안전한것 같기도..경쟁도 완화되고 기본적인 존중과 인터넷 매너의 중요성에 대한 공감대도 넓어질듯

Now im crying. Soojin, pls be strong.

STAYC ahora es un grupo de chicas muy lindas que ha tenido éxitos en estos años me siento muy orgullosa de ellas y de todo lo que están logrando 😭💗 tienen talentos increíbles cantan y bailan muy hermoso 💗💗💗las amo tanto mis niñas 💗 gracias al esfuerzo que le pusieron lograron cumplir sus sueños 💗💗💗las apoyaré en todo 💗💗💗

this documentary was very important to show us the reality behind the camera of the videos how idols really feel. very necessary to show that idols are also human beings And that they have emotions just like us.

The Kpop creation machine should pay for several "retired" K-POP artists to go to college to become licensed mental health therapists so they can come back and help the newer generations. They would understand the 50,000 fans. Football teams in America often have performance therapists on staff and mandate every player use the services so that there is a support network for the mental health. K-Pop machines should create the same concept.

Tqs for making this vedio. Whenever people write any hate comment I hope that this vedio comes to their mind atleast once.

Thank you 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️ this is very informative for us fans/supporters. Hopefully many fans/supporters of different idols will understand them. And also realize the hardships that idols are also experiencing. Thanks again for this 6 part episodes. 😊😊😊

Amber said "It's "no pain, no gain" but when people get tired, up here gets tired too." I felt that hit real hard

20:22 exactly 💯✔ Giving up your education, physical pain, and metally exhaustion is the worst part of this 💔 plus they can't debut unless they are perfect 💔

What is really sad is that the one of the only times that an idol gets a break is when they do their mandatory military enlistment. I know when Onew, Key and Minho of SHINee were discharged, they looked so healthy and well rested. They were able to get away from being in the public eye 24/7 for 20 months and were able to find their true selves. Key in fact said how he was trying to get Taemin to enlist earlier because of how much rest he was getting being enlisted into the military band. I remember him saying on his welcome back Vlive that the most rest he had ever gotten was in the military. That yeah sure he missed being able to go eat whenever and whatever he wanted and being able to see his fans all the time but at the same time it was really refreshing having a steady schedule instead of having to work 20 hours a day on only 3 hours of sleep.

They really went through a lot over the years. That is why I could never understand how other people could easily say bad things and spread nonsense rumors about them because they are still humans. It's okay that we have our opinions about them, but not to the extent that we will ruined their life already :((

우리가 만들어지는 스타에 거부감이 없는 이유는 최초의 연습생이 김완선이니까..김완선 무대 한번 보면 재능에 노력이 더해지는게 얼마나 대단한지 알게될걸. 근데 그분 얘기는 다큐에 없네 이수만 연습생 시스템에 영향을 준 최초의 스타인데.

So glad STAYC songs are getting recognitions these days

I bet when this was filmed, Rado was hoping this would help launch the group, not knowing this would be posted at their first comeback...

I don't know if this was just pure chance/ fate that who we know now as STAYC (alongside with their co-trainees) was part in this Kpop evolution documented series for the episodes 5 and 6. I mean its just so great to see stayc here being able too see their start as idols. ps. the whole documented series is interesting and amazing.

It's sad to watch this and sometimes feel that this is labor exploitation only for reaching an unreal perfection.

came back here to celebrate the success of STAYC today. Love them!

my heart aches for yeeun/ ha:tfelt, her tone, her way of elaborating things. it's like her eyes are screaming that kpop is not all pretty and shiny and perfect just like what we see in our screens. as a senior artist, she must have went through a lot and hearing her speak about the hardships of kpop idols/trainees makes my heart yearn to hug her.

I think everyone can relate, that in the first 30 seconds of this video you thought of the k-idol group/artist you stan and felt like a proud parent

Nurture that empathy inside, always being grateful, appreciate others to truly see the humanity in us for every line of work on this earth. If its really that hard for you, i am really sorry for you. Be kind, that is the least we could do.

중간중간 기들 너무 예쁜거 아니냐며....

so great to see stayc here..now they're quite big

stayc becomes one of popular girl group in 4th gen im so proud of them my luv🥺

Jinho and Hui: universe miss you we hope you comeback well and healthy. Yuto and Yan An: thank you for stay strong even in the hardest moments For the rest of the members: Thank you for give us amazing songs, for take care each other, for your hard working. Pentagon fighting, we were always be your universe

So Lydia and Minjung(former PD101 participant) didn't make the cut huh? I mean I would love to see StayC with them but I think the current lineup is just fine and balanced.

If that dance instructor was responsible for the choreography in ASAP she's a genius. There's so many details in it that you don't notice until you see it many times.

It's so sad to see this. The wrost thing is that a lot of people keep hating on idols, there's a lot of inmature people that just say things without knowing the person. It makes me feel anger. They're just humans. They're not perfect. And you're no one to judge them.

my heart in pain when i saw (g)i-dle 💔😞

I know everyone should definitely see this documentary

I wish luck, success, courage and a lot of strength to all of us who want to be a future kpop idol ❤
