How to become an idol? ^^

Many of us sometimes thought: "Damn it! Idols are so cool, I want that too!" and the like. The path of an idol is hard, but even that doesn't stop some, so I want to help these guys who want to, but don't know how to become an idol. 

And so, let's get started. We all know that idols perform on stage, sing, dance, but they do more than that. Some idols, for example, play in dramas, and some even write songs. Idols are very talented people. If you want to become an idol, you should at least be able to dance. Dancing is important for an idol, because if you have bad vocals, you can fix it with a soundtrack, but dancing can't be fixed. Do not rush to get upset, if you are under 19 years old, then you still have a chance! even a log can learn to dance, and the one to whom a bear has stepped on his ear can sing. You just have to be hardworking, determined and single-minded.

And so, to become an idol, you must first have the qualities inherent in this profession. And this is just determination, determination, responsibility, stress tolerance, etc. To be an idol, you have to work hard and prove that you are worthy of your dreams. Then the chance to audition will be higher. Stress tolerance is needed here more than ever! When you become an idol, you will not only be loved, but also hated. You will become a media personality and more of the information about you will be known to the public, you must be ready for this. And also you should not listen to most of the comments that criticize you. You have to learn to take criticism well and improve yourself if you really see that you are not very good at this business.

Let's continue if you are ready for everything that is happening in this industry (I strongly recommend watching icebergs on k-pop if you haven't done it yet!) Now you have another question in front of you - "What's next?" Next, you should start training, it is advisable to find schools and tutors who can REALLY teach you something. Unfortunately, there are many schools in Russia that do not provide knowledge well or do not provide it at all. In this situation, you need to ask your friends. I recommend, if you have a choice, to enroll in a studio or dance school, hire language tutors (to become an idol you must know English, Korean and Japanese, Japanese is needed because idols often have Japanese debuts and comebacks) and vocals. The rest, if you have the money and time. 

Also, in addition to talents, you must somehow fit the standards of beauty (oh, our favorite topic) If you want to become an idol, then you should be at least 40 percent fit. It's not very easy here either, different tests always often have different results, but you just have to pass quite a lot of tests. For example, I have been through a lot and I have from 60 to 90 percent. And you have to be thin. The ideal thinness for Korea is calculated according to the formula: your height is 120 = ideal weight. That is, let's take me as an example again, my height is about 164, but at the same time, I weigh 50.5 kg. So, in order to apply to the company, I have to lose 6.5 kg, since 164-120 =44 kg. 

You don't have to take it right away and not eat anything, if you become a trainee, you will regret doing so. Start with a light one that can't harm your body, and yes, you know yourself better than diets, so if you are madly hungry, take an apple and just eat, don't torture yourself.

It is better to audition when you are 16-17 years old. Before auditioning for a company, you must prepare and live at least six months as a trainee in this company. Just do something, you don't have to sing or dance all day, just be busy. So you will understand whether you still want to become an idol, whether you can endure and whether the schedule of this company suits you.

If you did audition, then things are already much more serious here, you need to go to South Korea and everything would be fine, but there are some stones here. Some parents do not support their dream, often either believing that it is not serious, or dangerous, or they want to fulfill their unfulfilled dreams in their children, etc. I hope, you don't give up.

As for visas, visas to Korea are not needed as of 2024, but for adults you need a K-eta pass. And here it's better to read an article about it, because here I can already forget something and give you misinformation.And in general, it's better to read on the topic of how minors leave Russia themselves, if you are good at searching (I tried to crawl the entire Internet in search of this information, but I couldn't find anything that would really answer my question:() 

Also, if you have the opportunity, earn extra money. You need a lot of money, because most likely the company will not pay for you. There is no need to expect a miracle, because there are many people like you and they can simply refuse you. You don't have to look for a million part-time jobs and get torn up. You can search for the distribution of leaflets, for example, and 1-2 hours after school just hand out leaflets. Well, or you can choose other jobs that are closer to you. I also advise you, then when you are not bad at your skills, upload it to social networks, so the chance that you will be invited grows (for example, Karina from aespa, SM found on the Internet) and you can participate in various survival shows, if you have the opportunity.

All those who pass to the end will become trainees (trainees), and later perhaps idols. When you become a trainee, you will be like a student at school, only with a busier and stricter schedule. If you pass the audition, then I will be very happy for you, you are great! I think we need to finish our guide for today, if you have any corrections in my work, questions and the like, feel free to write in the comments, I read them all, and it's important to me if you talk about how I can get better. 

With that, I say goodbye to you, good luck in your endeavors!💖
