How to Become a Kpop Idol: 5 Audition Routes, Real Odds
How to become a kpop idol comes down to 4 stages: train, audition, get signed, debut. You build vocal, dance or rap skills on your own, get seen by an agency through an online, global or in-person audition, spend years as a trainee (연습생, yeonseupsaeng), and only then debut in a group. Foreigners do make it, and it starts the same way: a strong audition video and a clear plan for Korean.
