That one dislike is her old company
No disrespect to the members or the company, but perhaps the moral of the story is if you can't join a reasonably bigger company, it's a huge risk to join a particularly small company unless they have a good track record. There might some problems at larger companies too, but sadly the really smaller companies simply have insufficient resources and finances to compete with the larger companies and produce successful groups, along with providing for their members.
I really liked Blady along with a lot of other groups from small companies, but sadly most of them were/are fighting an uphill battle to make it in such a competitive industry.
It's all about connections, in kpop if you dont have a company, you have almost no chance of becoming mainstream (ie: appearing on variety shows, performing on music shows etc). That's why unfortunately most people just resort to joining a company even if that means they get little to no pay or creative freedom :( I actually got scouted by a kpop agency myself, but knowing how shady the kpop industry is, i quickly turned it down XD
I'm actually planning to make a video about this in the next few days btw, so do stay tuned if you're interested.
bighit says hi
Especially for foreigners, you almost always have to join a large company.
@@user-ii6xi4ex5p Bighit had good connections such as with JYP. They also had connections with popular underground rappers like Sleepy.
j Bang Shi Hyuk is popular among big producer. he has pretty much connection despite the samll company. YG and JYP knows him. same case as mamamoo boss. he was one of YG producer if I'm not mistaken.
honestly, luck has alot to do with staying in the industry. imagine if you were had auditioned and got into SM, JYP, and YG.. You might still be an idol. Also, too many restrictions or how the companies control you with not much creative freedom is one of the biggest problems in the industry. this has made you a better person.
Andrew Lee I donât think that true, other idols make big money just like Big Bang, girls generation, specifically Taeyeon, Twice.
shine199723 okay but have you heard of park jimin? not the bts member, girl soloist park jimin in jyp. or hyoyen? hyoyen and taeyeon are from the same group, snsd, yet they didnt get equal attention, so not all idols get that type of attention like other groups in the big three
@@tzuyubebe It comes down to who is more charming. All idols are talented but a company will promote someone with more marketable, public - friendly charms and personality
Morris Myles Ly that is true, but usually entertainment companies care more for promoting their biggest idols, not the ones that arent as popular. i dont know if that made sense, hopefully it did
@@maiseree1511 actually its was jyp mistake . But after he debuted twice he make theember has their own specialist . If you search miss a then you will just found only suzy were popular but if you search twice then all of them will be out
If you cant get into SM , YG , or JYP you are gonna struggle so hard . BTS is one of a thousand kind of success story , i mean every year 300-groups debut.
Big hit used to be in connection with jyp so they had basic connections in the industry.
@@sonchaeyoung2891 I always thought that...
son chaeyoung tbh bts didnât go thru a lot, people are over exaggerating it. even if youâre from the big 3 you might still fail (but not common at all) for example twice, they flopped in ooh ahh, got popularity from shy shy and tzuyuâs visuals
@@user-ku9ko5pv4p to be frank bts did go thru alot. Although they had connections to jyp,they were made to look bad or were boycotted by media from publicity. Which is fr obvious reasons(yg and sm were threatened by their rate of success and fandom despite being a small company). And let's be real if I need u hadnt been released and like by the general public , bighit wld hav gone bankrupt,heck they were in debt already. Hence y they asked rm if he wanted to continue solo or as bts. I mean they didn't hav a room fr themselves and practiced in front of the washrooms. They wore knockoffs fr soo long until WINGS success . And soo many stylists hav told tat they were looked down upon by their peers. Let's not downplay bts struggle coz it was real fr them. And yes they r a one in a 100 success story fr which they shld be appreciated. Let's give credit where ts due
Edit: I recommend u guys fo watch the xceleste vids on this topic she covers soo much more than I hav
@@srm2749 they asked namjoon to choose between bts & his solo career as a prank, that has nothing to do with the groups hardships lmao
your idol insider series is the reason why im so appreciative and can never hate idols (to an extent) because they really do give up so much and take a chance to do something that they love and they might not even get it in the end. people who want to be idols and are trainees, my heart and support will always go out to them because they need all the love and luck in the world to get the chance that they want. and in the end they might realize that they dont want it because as you said, you donât fully know what you want at such a young age to make a rash decision.
đ
also my question is....while u were an idol did you ever get the chance to perform anywhere other then seoul or s. korea?
Is sexual harassment common in the industry and have you ever been put in an uncomfortable position/decision from senior management or someone with authority in order to move up or get promoted in the industry?
i want to know too >.
From what I've heard, it's rare and somewhat taboo for management to prey upon their idols, and actually, many of the legit entertainment companies forbid fraternizing between management/staff and the idols, as they tend to be pretty professional about the business. Ultimately, however, it's not unheard of for slimeball managers and agents to sexually harass or even pressure up-and-coming actresses into doing things quid-pro-quo, and ultimately, it depends on who you are. A perfect example is Jang Ja-yeon (ì„ìì°), the actress from "Boys over Flowers" who committed suicide in 2009. She left a 7-paged note documenting being raped by high-profile figures in the entertainment industry, chaebols and the media, who paid her manager for her sexual services, most of the times unbeknownst to her. Her seven-paged letter listed 31 men she was forced to have sex with by her manager -- all of whom were either high-level Chaebol corporate executives, major Korean newspaper heads, and media directors. As a result of her suicide, the Korean government ordered an investigation into her suicide. There is some speculation about why she was treated like this by her management company when many were not. It may have something to do with the fact that she was parentless -- and therefore deemed powerless since Korean society heavily considers your family background and your connections to determine how powerful or influential you are. Of course, if you have no parents, you are considered the bottom of the barrel and someone who is perhaps extremely vulnerable and easy prey for exploitation, blackmail, abuse, etc. On the other hand, someone who came from a middle-class background, or a highly influential and connected background, would be treated with much more respect by Koreans.
something that needs to be talked about way more.
@Jessie Zhou - Her suicide in 2009 happened way before the whole "MeToo" movement started in the U.S. She never went public about it b/c her manager was blackmailing her and threatening to kill her if she did. He's now in prison.
interesting@@user-yx8bh9gu4t
wow I had no idea that during Blady's hiatus there was a lawsuit happening. Well I'm so proud you are able to openly talk about it inform us about the music industry in Korea. Wish you the best!
The moral of the story is if you want to be a kpop idol... don't. Just don't.
Not always
@@chelsea8357 ikr! If you like something you try to achieve but ofc you are going to get through hardships.... kpop industry might be harsh but other professions are also hard to do and be it... we all should go through something then succeed to feel the satisfaction, but if you get it without obstacles or hard work it seems like you did nothing. Idk what I'm saying but I hope you get my point
Or at least think it through first, and be careful what company you go to
Moral of the story is, if you want to be a Kpop idol: be careful. The entertainment industry in general is very risky.
moral of the story: be aware of how the industry works, ask yourself if you are willing to risk it, recognise the bad and shady companies and contemplate if you will be able to survive in those conditions. If you are willing to sacrifice your future to follow your passion go for it. Just as long as you are aware of how the industry works I think it's fine, also try to get into the big companies, you will have a higher chance of succeeding, the more connections the better. Bighit, JYP, SM and YG all had connections to music show programs and people in high positions in the entertainment industry, those connections can literally get you a spot on the charts.
Jessi changed her company more than 3 times! She never gave up to be herself. Psy nation helped her to be herself and finally, she is shining.
@ì늏 ìì Then I'm afraid for TNX.
Now she has left psy company
đźShe is spilling the tea! This is literally
*Idol Insider* đ! đ„đ”đ
1)Would you say that the kpop idol life in general is not *that good* or just the company you had signed with?
2) how long did you train?
3) what was your first reaction when you got told all your positions? Surprised? Happy? Disappointed?
4) Which position would you rather choose (if u could) and why?
5) The worst thing that happened between you and your members?
6) Do you still talk with the members? Who is ur fav?
7) Could you briefly describe your basic week as a trainee?
8) During your trainee days, who paid? Did you have to pay? Can you gives us some numbers?
9) What made you continue your training? It must've been very hard
10) Do you think, you'd still be a kpop idol if you would have signed with another company? And why?
11) What are you looking up to doing in the future?
12) Are you happy?
13) When it comes to selfcare, are you all told how to do it or just 'keep up' (for example, shaving)?
14) If you could go back in time and had to choose between not becoming a kpop idol at all or be more careful (different company etc)?
15) Why didn't you sign with a bigger company?
đ
1) If you do some research you'll know that whether you're in a big company or not being a kpop idol is hard. You constantly get told you're not good enough, you're not pretty enough you're too fat you're talentless. Momo from Twice almost died when her company told her to starve herself for a week. She was 15.
@@ragamuffin1588 ik, but there are also many small companys who either play you or disband groups which flop once etc yk? Like sometimes they don't have money to promote the group anymore, so when it comes to bigger companys, there shouldn't rly be anything like a financial problem
@@muschelmisia9883 Yeah but i think the chances of debuting in a bigger company is much harder than in a smaller company... I recently started watching yg treasure box & yg pays like $100,000 per trainee so definitely no financial problem there (but i think if u leave the company u have to pay them back or smth so thats a problem too)
Ragamuffin momo is my girl, I love her. But thatâs not what happened, according to sixteen and some interviews. Momo was told if she stayed at her current weight, she couldnât be in a showcase. Not that she couldnât debut, but she couldnât be in a showcase. Jihyo was told the same thing and she ended up not being in that particular show case.
What momo went through is terrifying and she no doubt felt pressure to lose weight quickly. Iâm sure it was suggested that she lose weight in unhealthy ways. But she wasnât told to starve herself for a week. Thatâs very different. âhey you canât eat for 7 daysâ or âhey at this weight you canât be in this trainee showcaseâ are pretty different things.
@@summerstar143 But still it has the same damaging effect and they know it... It's the exact same thing with models, they give them a very tiny dress and say "you will wear that in one week, if you can't we will find someone else and bye bye". They know the only way the model would fit in that dress is by starving. And when she does, no one ask her how she lost weight because they know. Kpop idols are the same, they want to have a successful carrier and they know they have to get the job in order to do that. So they starve. And companies look the other way while they should take care of their trainees...
Yay, new episode of Idol Insider! Thanks for sharing your experiences again.
My questions:
(*** First, sorry if I'm being curious about things that maybe hard to tackle. Feel free to abstain from answering if you feel too uncomfortable with any đ)
- How competitive would you say was the ambient (between trainees/members) either before and after debut? Was your company more geared towards competition or cooperation, between members?
- If you are ever considering coming back to the industry, would you go to another company, provided they give you better work conditions?
Do you think it is possible to promote without being affiliated with an entertainment company? Or even creating one's own company and doing one's own management (when you don't have a ton of money to back it up)?
- Now that you have matured compared to when you were a trainee, do you think you have more clear goals in mind (that you can share with us), like focusing on singing, composing, acting...?
Sending you so much love â€ïž Iâm glad you left a situation that was no longer working for you. I completely understand. I can see youâre stronger because of all of this :)
A lot of this does feel like it came from the company's side of things. I think the success of idol groups that have been allowed more creative and personal freedoms, like BTS and (G)-IDLE, combined with general progression in societal attitudes (however gradual), is encouraging more companies to be more liberal and for contracts to be more lenient. It is still a slow process, and there will be many years before we can really say that the industry is all around positive.
Thanks for opening up. I was going through a legal dispute with my employer for just a few months and it was super tough can't imagine being in that state for a few years. Cheers for your freedom.
Im so sorry that you were going through such hardships. I hope youâre doing better now! â€ïž
When youâre part of an unpopular group you definitely go through that kinda thing but Iâm glad you moved on cause that must of been a huge struggleâșïž
Strive to be an artist, less of an idol. ;)
I'm so proud of how far you've come... Please keep smiling and hold your head high....
Hard work pays offâŒGood luck to all of usâĄNo matter where you are, we are always with you!
You are an amazing person, Soobin. And you deserve way much better. I hope life sorts out well for you. Hugs and kisses!
What if you try produce 48 and do it to not give up on your dreams. Or of course try other things but don't give up. Have singing as a hobby . Maybe you don't have to be an idol but you can use these shows as a stepping stone to be an artists.
Too bad these shows are often rigged and even talented and popular people like Lee Kaeun or Miyazaki Miho can get conveniently "downvoted" because they're too "old".
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the industry, I can tell that you had a ton of hard times mixed in with the good. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you do and am supporting you from afar!!! đđđ
Thank you for your honesty â„ïž this heart is for your courage. You fought for yourself â„ïž
Hi, Tina! Just wanna let you know that I really appreciate your courage to share your experiences (being an idol) to us. Really, thank you. Sharing your story to the world is such a big move. Hoping for your success should you decide to do music again. Love you! đ
Life is never easy thatâs why we donât give up our dreams we can keep going forward and go through the hardships but donât look down and keep fighting for your dreams
Thank you for talking about this, because I think this is an issue that happens in a lot of countries. There's not enough exposure on what the behind the scenes of the entertainment industry is really like, especially for people starting out. There's no one to ask or reference to find out if what's happening is okay, and it often seems like society says artists must just bear with it if they chose to be artists. In my country, it's common practice for actors to be paid 3 months after their job, but that's actually illegal and most people don't know that. There's no union here, so you have to rely on your agency to do the best. You could be with the best agency but then their commission is way higher than everyone else's. We need to start talking about treating people who work so hard to entertain the public fairly, especially when the average work day is 16 hours compared to an office job which is usually 8 hours a day.
do you get to keep the wardrobe that you wear on the music shows like music core, inkigayo, etc.?
Inquisitve m I think the answer to this is no lol Imagine the big 3 idols keeping all the Gucci, Balenciaga, and Chanel they wear! Just my view on it
A lot of the more expensive designer clothing is on loan to stylists with a relationship to stores and designers that have higher ticket items at their fingertips. That stuff is returned at the end of a show or photoshoot (take a close look at MV or photoshoot behind the scenes. Many times you will see that the tags and visible labels on clothing are still attached since it needs to be returned for sale). Some items are purchased by the company and they keep a 'closet'. In this case, you will see the idols under contract with them wearing the same items from time to time (ie Yoona and Irene). In the more rare cases, you will have individual idols that have a relationship with a designer and will receive clothing for free which they can either wear during a music or awards show, a television appearance, to the airport or in their personal lives (ie Gucci & Exo's Kai).
winner kinda lowkey talked about this thing how YG has a big wardrobe where all of the clothes used in there promotion will be kept in there and anyone in the company is free to kinda reuse them again for other things (as far as I understand, they can even reuse them for personal matters)
@EXCUSE ME pretty sure that they don't mind. Since you rarely see them in the same clothes lol
@Inquisitve m But I know that SM has museum and there they keep clothes, or maybe they return sponsored things?
@@XxXxXx-ef1rw i meant the artist not the company. you know blackpink members would love to keep the wardrobe they wear on the shows, but i'm sure Gfriend doesn't want the clothes they wear...lol
I'll leave the questions to another time but just here to give you a BIG HUG!!! Don't stop believing in yourself gurl!! đȘđ»đȘđ»
You have a pretty good out take on this and you seek youâre really healthy with the way you see things. Itâs pretty awesome!
Be proud of what u achieve. Many canât even debut at all. I salute u soobean!
I loved Blady with Blood type B girl and Come to me. Such an underrated group
íì íëł”íìžì đđȘ
you are so adorable and genuine and precious :(
Hi Christine! I've followed Blady going back to 2013 and "Blood Type B Girl". I also enjoyed when you and Coco co-hosted "Pops in Seoul" on ArirangTV. I always wondered as to what happened to Blady after "Secret Number" was released in 2015 and why there was no comeback for the group after that.
Maybe in a future vlog you can go into why 2 versions of "Secret Number" were released within 3 months of each other (July 2015 & Oct. 2015). That was very unusual and I never understood what was behind something like that.
Just know that everything does happen for the best. You are a beautiful and talented young woman. No matter what you do, you'll be a success.
Thank you for sharing this story, I'm sorry things were so bad.
Since it seems like the path you are heading towards now is similar to the path coco is heading down as well, maybe having coco on to talk about her experience with blady would be interesting too?
nah coco is super shady about everything, if anyone should come on it should be sori
I donât know if itâs the same Coco, but Coco was a member of Blady so maybe they already know each other
Coco is very pretentious. Sheâs still in the fantasy of being a kpop artist.
I only recently discovered, subscribed to and started binge-watching your youtube videos. You have such an intelligent, interesting and practical way of providing information that I think you could read aloud the Seoul phone book and still get 100,000 views. Thank you for uploading these!
I'm glad you left the entertainment industry. Back in 2009, My dream was to be a music producer but after reading a few stories of how artist being mistreated in the past. It made me re-think a few things, till this day I still know of few people who became songwriters and guitarist who work in the industry here in the U.S.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. From the way you talk about it, I can feel that it was a very rough time so thank you for finding the strength to do so. I hope you can continue pursuing your passions.
My question is do other idols know which idol is dating who? Do rumors circulate that us we never hear about because you have to be in the industry to know it?
Thank you!
Lilly if theyâre friends like were trainees tgt or in a same group, I think they should know.
But they need to hide it to the staff or to the rest of the company. Even to the other idols bcs rumours circulating is a bad thing
I really want to be a KPOP idol, I think every day about it. I think if I become an idol someday, I will be finally happy ... and yeah I will never be happy đ Because my parents will never be with me, I'm not Korean, I'm not beautiful ... and more bad things đ I really want it, I want to find some girls and make a group with them đ»đ€, I want a perfect friendship and enjoy in it ... because my friends in real life are not my type of friends (idk how to explain, I don't feel happy with anyone đ). And yeah I would accept all of forces from company, I would accept whatever they want, I want to work hard ... give me the worst company just give me a chance, I WANT TO BE AN IDOL đđ€đ€đ
i'm glad that you living your life well right now: ') you are my bias when you debut with blood type B girl i love your voice very much
Ahh I'm so happy for you that you managed to make it out with good people, and learnt a lot. Thank you for sharing and it has broadened my perspective now whenever I look at kpop. I want to ask does each member in kpop have to be in charge of a characteristic such as cute, sexy, swag? And is the group dynamic in television reflective of the actual dynamic in kpop groups in real life? Continue to make more of these videos
They say we should never stop dreaming.. What is your dream now? Thank you for the video sending you Love from the Philippines đđđđđ
I have a question. Imagine, you get accepted in a company, you are fourteen and you are a foreigner, will you have to move without your parents and sleep in the dormitories of the companies (if big companies)?
Yes you have to as per my knowledge Lisa also left her parents and used to live in dorm when she was trainee
@@kxro.michan Okay thanks for your reply
I am curious about the experience of joining an existing group and then how it went when the lineup changed. Were you surprised? Did your company tell you or did the girls tell you when they quit the group? I would love to hear more in-depth storytimes of your time as an idol!
You are better here
All this happened while you are still so young. I'm happy for you the heavyweight is off you. And I know will will succeed!!! âšđđâ€ïž
Could you please have Ashley as a guest for idol insider and do you think companies prefer people who are younger and do you think the younger you are the better chance you'll get into the company love you đđđ
younger people debut alot in groups they have a good advantage since males have to enlist so a younger male is good since they can promote alot but I think you can still debut even if your around 30 (not sure)
so proud of you n blady girlsâ€ïž
i respect yall you fought for your rights and your peace of mind, i hope yall live happily while doing what you love
we loved you and still loving you
you guys are incredibly talented thank u for all the hard work đđ»
of course each company has its pros and cons, but if you had to rank the top 3 "better" - treating companies what would they be?~ // also it's so amazing that you went through all of that and still remain genuine, you're amazing girl!!
Youâre backkkkâšâšâšâš
Wow! I am sorry that you experienced what you did, but I am glad that you came out of it OK. It sounds like you started to get into music because you had a love for the art in the first place. Other people seem to find the art as a way to make money which strips the art of its beauty in my opinion. Along time ago I used to be in a band also but it was purely for the sake of making music. Nothing more. Some seriously good times were had. If you could continue to pursue your art on your own terms, would you do it?
i like the inside view of the industry. great job
I really love the way how honest you are in sharing your personal experience in public. BTW I got a question to ask, What songs will you recommend for people to sing in the audition?
Perfect timing i just got out of class!
Yay! ur back!!!!!!! luv yaâ€ïž
I'd love to see you reacting to your mvs lmaaao plsssss
im so proud of you :(
Bless you
you always seemed uncomfortable with your past members, did you like them?
I'm sure Christine likes her former members. Recently, she uploaded a video where she and all but one member (she couldn't make it sadly) tried dancing to their songs again without practicing and they all looked pretty friendly with each other (laughing and overall having fun). I can't speak for her relationship with the girls back then as I don't really know anything about it but now, I'm sure Christine likes them otherwise why would she reunite with them?
@@palettedpersona well I watched her other videos, she was kind of being shady to her members before they reunite..
@@yooh1785 Well that's interesting. I did hear that BLADY ended up getting new members so the girls in the video I mentioned could've been the new members and Christine might've been acting shady towards her old ones (there's a video you can see of the "old" members with Christine and plenty of comments talked about how awkward it was and how they didn't seem to be close). But once again, I'm not really familiar with Christine or her old group so I can't really speak on whether she likes her members, only *she* can if she chooses to.
We love u đ
Luv from INDIA đźđłđ
What jobs are you working now that you're not an idol any more (if I'm correct?)?
i would like to know too
i think she should try and host ASC once.
BĂĄlint JuhĂĄsz plan on doing my own music in the future and do youtube along with it as well
@@soobeanie OMG I look forward to it! I can't wait until you come out with your own music. I will definitely support you every step of the way.
@@soobeanie Christine, I've watched you on the Arirang shows, and it's obvious that you are intelligent, articulate, and empathetic. You'd do a great job as a host or interviewer. I could listen to you for hours.
Best wishes from Hollywood đ„ !
im a big fan soobeanie.................. i swear you used to be apart of TSN company
What groups were popular when you were a trainee?
SK I'm pretty sure the 2nd generation bands like G Dragon, Big Bang, 2NE1, Super Junior and SHINee. Blady debuted in 2011 and back then it was nearly the end of the second generation.
I am interested in the contract about being as a trainee and an idol contract.
Like I am not Korean and we won't have a place to lived and they might or might not give u place to stay right?
How long is the trainee contract? Etc.. do u get to see the artist in the company while as a trainee?
When you became a trainee successfully, and is your 1st day to trained , than you were trained alone or by a instructor or with a group of people? And when we'll they teach you Korean language and i know there is monthly or weekly evaluation, is won't be so fast for a just came in trainee did right?
And for trainees when will you know they will asked you to go on diet? And do trainees really can't use phones? I saw some trainees we're allowed to use their phones, because they upload pics or videos on to their Instagram account so I was wondering I thought they said they are not allowed to have phones so they can't use their phone to call people or whoever..
Do you need to report to the house manager (who to care of the trainees) that we are back home after training. What time is the training? 10am-10pm? How do you know when is your break time, or lunch time. Do you get to see the CEO or anything?
And the contract, what does it said? I know that trainees or not allowed to date, they will get kicked out right, and do you see any one dating, or they forced to get out...? What happens if the CEO won't let you break the contract do we have to pay money or Sth?
If we are successful became a trainee and than will the visa they do will they helped us?? Sorry just Abit curious
i want to know the SAME
Can you please do a video on advice for auditions? Like what dances do to for the audition dvd and what songs to sing for the dvd and more
I really want to know
Hi ^~^ thanks for sharing your experiences ! I have 2 questions
1) Have you ever thought if you were in one of those big company like the top3 or pledis etc.. would that make a difference ? To your life and maybe your debut life as an idol wouldnât be that hard compare when youâre in a small company.
2) Would you say that the insider of an Idolâs life is based on the company that youâve signed with ? For example if you were to sign in a good or big company , then when debut you are treated better than those smaller companies.
Hope itâs not too personal ! Iâve watched all your videos and really curious about your opinion. Thank you ! ^^
Made me think if you just signed up in the wrong company or just didn't like being an idol after all. But you're too young to get stuck in one place. If your true passion isn't in K music industry then I know you'll be one day find what it is that truly makes you happy.
Thx for sharing
What are you doing now? For your career and work? Any plans for the future?
The world "manipulate" frightened me đ
I really hope that someday you'll be able to show your true colour, our own nusic style to us!!! đ
Will you stay in KR after this or move back? đ
I love your hairđ can you show us how you treat it ??
*Good luck to you u debut and after that you can come back to yr country !!
But if an Iranian girl debut and bean idol
She can't back to Iran !!!!!!!!!
I jjust thought you were waiting for your contract to finish. Wow that must have been really difficult not being able to talk about the lawsuit. I'm glad you and the other members sued the company and so happy it was a sucess for you all.
I forgot to say but if you have the mentality of streangth if you do these produce shows you could get exposure for youtube and grow in numbers.
How did your parents feel during your hard times after debut?
Thank you for sharing your hardships with us. Iâm glad things are better now. Do you think the K-Pop training system can be overhauled? Would K-Pop be as popular as it is today without that system in place? Besides huge acts like a BTS, what do you think will take for a Korean or any Asian act to break through in America? Thanks Christine!
Being a non- Asian foreigner, do you think I would be accepted?
Being a foreigner, would I still be able to go to school?
What if you live at the dorms? How strict are they?
How strict are they really? How many things do you Have to do as a trainee?
Ps sorry if you have made videos on these topics before.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Tinađ. You are very pretty, just wanted to tell you this lol. I really like Idol Insider. Is there much competition going on in groups? And what happens if your company wants you to be savage but you are always kind in real life and while filming or something like that? Do you get kicked out?
Idols have an image to maintain that is given to them by their company
I wonder how different it is for a member of a super successful group
Can you make a video comparing all the companies. And telling which is the best among them. It will be really very helpfull for me.. Also for some people like me..... Plz............ đđđ
Hii I wanted to ask if I don't really know how to dance can I become one of the trainee bcus am still young so why not learn how to dance until am big enough to debut
I have a one question how are u so beautiful.And also your so talented
Esketit.
Big companies 98% chance of success
Small companies 2% chance of success
in big companies is more hard to debut, so I would say 50% chance of success
@@tear8409 i mean making it on the top in the industry not in the audition process
Do you have the sense how some of the more popular idols make most of their money? For example I have recently noticed Mamamoo has done a couple of advertisements and they seem to have done so for at least a couple of years. I am thinking that they might get a larger cut/% of that contract than from their singing since it is not as involved. (I can imagine if the idol composes their music that might make more). But overall where is most of the $ that can put in their pocket come from? Do you think a medium sized? company like RBW have staff who pursues commercial, TV, radio, movie jobs for the idols or do they sub-contract it to an agency that has more experience in those areas?
Oh my gosh. Oh Christine :( Iâm so sorry you guys had to do that. I loved Blady, you and your members so much. As a fan, I feel relieved to hear everyone got out of a toxic environment safely. :( I always wondered what was going on during the hiatus. I will always support you and all the other members forever. You girls brought me so much joy. You and Coco still do. I hope I see the others again somewhere, too. Thank you for everything you and Blady gave us.
In a pond with other big fishes, the small fishes only have a tiny chance of survival. Even in from the big companies only a handful of groups make it to the A o r B List. Such is the reality of a fiercely competitive industry.
So Interesting
MAY I ASK like how do popular groups have like one night stands especially when theyre in tours and stuff when theyre always in the public eye?
Joan bring me here
Nothing's gonna stop me.
..... i didnât know that coco was in Blady too. Thatâs cool-
