Idol Life Training
Being a trainee is one thing, but becoming an idol is complicated. Over the course of a trainee’s seven-year contract or as per the company’s desire, an agency measures a trainee’s talent and their ability to fit into a group, handle the hardships of ‘idol life,’ and stay out of trouble.
SM Entertainment’s G-Dragon trained with the company for five years and YG for six. K-pop’s king is one of the first crossover artists to break into the western market as producers, songwriters, artists, and collaborators.
