Has anyone seriously thought about how to become an idol in Korea, what products this country produces in the music market, and also what is hallyu?
Let's consider everything briefly, but as informatively as possible. Let's start with the concept of hallyu. Literally, this translates as "Korean wave." This is what the process of “capturing" the world by this music industry is called.
To become an idol, it is not enough to have good external data. You need to have talent. But even with charisma and enormous skills, it will not be possible to advance far. To debut, a person will have to try a lot and, possibly, not one year. It is necessary to have tremendous willpower, a good psychological state and the ability to control oneself. There are frequent cases when a guy or girl with excellent vocal and external data debuted after many years devoted to training.
Of course, there are those who officially visited the scene for the first time in just a year, but such events are very rare. Many, due to weak nerves, acquire psychological trauma and commit suicide, a large number of young trainees simply can not withstand the load and leave the agency.
Korea’s beautiful idols look carefree and joyful, but their slave contracts, which they must follow steadily, ruin the psyche of young guys and girls, leading them to endless depression. Looking at these seemingly smiling and happy people, I want to ask myself the question: is such a life needed at all? You should also be prepared for the fact that before you get on the label, you will have to upholster the thresholds of each company many times. A good example would be Pak Bom from the famous 2NE1 band. She with her beautiful vocals got into the company not even from the 10th attempt.
In this list are the most beautiful idols of Korea:
- Taemin.
- Ciel.
- Sehun.
- Yeri.
- Ki.
- Minzy.
- JD.
- Jackson
- Susie.
Lee Taemin (Taemin)
Taemin is a member of SHINee, one of the most popular artists of the second generation. There are five people in the team, and this guy is the youngest among them. He was born on July 18, 1993.
In childhood, neither friends nor acquaintances believed in him. They believed that he sang badly and could not achieve anything on stage. When SHINee debuted, the emphasis was on dancing, and Taemin performed only two lines in the songs. Over time, his vocal abilities revealed more, and the choreography became more beautiful. Now this guy is the first in his company, which is considered the most powerful in the industry, which released a full-length solo album. He is praised for his excellent performance, and for amazing dances. For eight years of work, he was able to show remarkable strength of mind. Like many other talented idols in South Korea, Taemin never gives up, strives to become better and does not try to "bite off more than he can."
Lee ChaeRin (Ciel)
Ciel, the leader of 2NE1, has long conquered the Korean and American markets. She is incredibly beautiful, and all admit it. Ciel is strong enough in spirit, stubborn and never gives up. As already mentioned, it is difficult to become popular in a country like Korea. Idols hardly endure internships, but Cherin was able to survive this and firmly stand on her feet.
The girl made her debut in 2009. After a while, she began releasing solo singles in Korea. Now the idol is engaged in promotion in America.
Oh Sehun (Sehun)
Sehun was born on April 12, 1994. He is from the famous EXO band, in which all of Korea “suffers”. Idols from this team are incredibly popular. Before the debut, he showed all his best qualities, which have entrenched and have accompanied him so far. He often plays pranks, speaks informally with elders, for which he constantly receives kicks from classmates. Considering his positive qualities, it must be said that he easily gets close to people, and also quickly begins to trust them. Given that Sehun in the group takes the position of a dancer, he remembers the movements best of all. If someone needs help, the guy will never refuse to explain and show everything. He looks very cheerful, cute, mischievous. Over time, Sehun grew out of a beautiful child into a great guy.
Kim Yerim (Yeri)
The recently debuted girl Yeri, who first officially appeared on the scene in 2015, can now safely take her place on the list of beautiful idols. At the moment, she is only 17 years old (born March 25, 1999), she is actively developing and trying to impress the audience of the group in which she participates with her talents. All of Korea knows about her. Idols from some men's groups choose Yeri as the cutest girl. She got into the company after auditioning in America. Even then, the girl was noticed and impressed with her skills.
Kim Kibum
Another guy from the SHINee group that no one believed in. Born September 23, 1991. Kibom did a lot, getting criticism. Previously, he was only good at rap, but recently, the guy began to participate in many musicals. If you compare his debut performances with the group and already solo parts in productions, you can notice a huge difference. Ki's voice became more powerful and solid, which is why Korea fell in love with him.
Idols, by the standards of Korean girls, are not as beautiful as this guy. Key is one of the cutest in show business. He is constantly invited to shoot advertisements, and is also offered to become the face of South Korea’s leading fashion magazines. According to the forecasts of critics, this person will always slowly but surely go towards his goal - to become the most popular and recognizable. Perseverance, as well as vocal data and appearance will definitely help him in this.
Gong Minji
Minzy is a former member of the 2NE1 women's group. The girl was born on January 18, 1994. She is the best dancer in her company. The girl has been engaged in choreography since 4 years old. Now she is a successful artist, who will soon debut solo. Her beauty is envied by many, not only ordinary girls, but already famous idols.
Kwon Jiyong (JD)
The leader of one of the strongest groups in Korea, JDi, has long and firmly stood on the stage. Born August 18, 1988. At the beginning of his career, the guy always focused on hip hop in the hope of becoming as significant as many American rappers “from the street”. However, at first the company did not give him either a solo album or collaborations. He only unofficially participated in the recording of some songs. After a while, the guy got the coveted place in the Big Bang group. Now this man is the winner of many awards and a rapidly developing musician.
Jackson Wang (Jackson)
Jackson was born March 28, 1993. He has been involved in sports since childhood and still wants to participate in the Olympic Games. Perhaps such dreams are related to the fact that his parents instilled in him a love of physical education. Jackson has an excellent character, which allows him to be No. 1 in almost everything. This guy can't do otherwise.
