Has anyone seriously thought about how to become an idol in Korea, what products this country releases in the music market, and what is "hallu"?
Let's consider everything briefly, but as informative as possible. Let's start with the concept of "hallu". Literally, it translates as "Korean wave." This is the name of the process of “taking over” the world by this music industry.
To become an idol, it is not enough to have good external data. You need to have talent. But even with charisma and great skills, it will not be possible to advance far. To debut, a person will have to try very hard and, perhaps, for more than one year. It is necessary to have great 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 of training.
Of course, there are those who officially visitedon stage in just a year, but such events are very rare. Due to weak nerves, many become psychologically traumatized and commit suicide, a large number of young trainees simply cannot withstand the load and leave the agency.
Korea's beautiful idols look carefree and joyful, but their slave contracts, which they must follow, destroy the psyche of young boys and girls, leading them into endless depression. Looking at these seemingly smiling and happy people, I want to ask myself the question: is such a life really necessary? You should also be prepared for the fact that before you get into the label, you will have to beat the thresholds of each company a lot of times. A good example would be Park Bom from the famous group 2NE1. She, with her beautiful vocals, got into the company not even on the 10th attempt.
This list contains the most beautiful Korean idols:
- Taemin.
- Ciel.
- Sehun.
- Yeri.
- Ki.
- Minzy.
- G. D.
- Jackson.
- Suzie.
Lee Taemin (Taemin)
Taemin is a member of SHINee and 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.
As a child, neither friends nor acquaintances believed in him. They believed that he sings badly and will not be able to achieve anything on stage. When SHINee debuted, the emphasis was on dancing, and in the songs, Taemin only sang two lines. Over time, his vocal abilities were revealed more, andthe choreography got better. Now this guy is the first in his company, which is considered the strongest in the industry, to release a full-length solo album. He is praised both for his excellent performance and for his amazing dancing. For eight years of work, he was able to show remarkable fortitude. Like many other talented South Korean idols, Taemin never gives up, strives to be better, and doesn't try to "bite off more than he can."
Lee ChaeRin (Ciel)
Ciel, the leader of the 2NE1 group, has been conquering the Korean and American market for a long time. She is incredibly beautiful and everyone admits 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 struggle with traineeships, but Chaerin was able to get through it and stand firmly on her feet.
The girl made her debut in 2009. After a while, she began releasing solo singles in Korea. Now the idol has been promoting in America.
Oh Sehun
Sehun was born on April 12, 1994. He is from the famous group EXO, which the whole of Korea is "suffering" for. The idols from this collective are incredibly popular. Before his debut, he showed all his best qualities, which have been fixed and accompany him until now. He often plays pranks, speaks informally with the elders, for which he constantly receives kicks from classmates. Considering his positive qualities, it must be said that he easily approaches people, and also quickly begins to trust them. Given that Sehun is the dancer in the group, heremembers movements better than anyone. If someone needs help, then the guy will never refuse to explain and show everything. He looks very cheerful, cute, mischievous. Over time, from a beautiful child, Sehun has grown into a great guy.
Kim Yerim (Yeri)
Recently debuted girl Yeri, who first officially took the stage in 2015, can now safely take her place in 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 amaze with her talents the listeners of the group in which she participates. All of Korea knows about it. Some male idols choose Yeri as the cutest girl. She got into the company by auditioning in America. Even then, the girl was noticed and impressed by her skills.
Kim Kibum (Ki)
Another SHINee boy that no one believed in. Born September 23, 1991. Kibum worked out a lot and received criticism. Previously, he was good only in 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 see a huge difference. Key's voice has become 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 commercials, and is also offered to become the face ofleading fashion magazines in South Korea. According to critics, this person will always slowly but surely move towards his goal - to become the most popular and recognizable. Perseverance, as well as vocal abilities and appearance will definitely help him in this.
Gong Minji
Minzy is a former member of girl group 2NE1. The girl was born on January 18, 1994. She is the best dancer in her company. The girl has been choreographing since the age of 4. Now she is a successful artist who will soon make her solo debut. Her beauty is envied by many not only ordinary girls, but also already famous idols.
Kwon Jiyong (J. D.)
The leader of one of the strongest bands in Korea, G. D., has long and firmly stood on the stage. Born August 18, 1988. At the beginning of his career, the guy always emphasized hip-hop in the hope of becoming as important as many American rappers from the street. However, at first the company did not give him a solo album or collabs. He only unofficially participated in the recording of some songs. After a while, nevertheless, the guy received the coveted place in the Big Bang group. Now this man is an award-winning and fast-growing musician.
Jackson Wang
Jackson was born on March 28, 1993. He has been involved in sports since childhood and to this day wants to participate in the Olympic Games. Perhaps such dreams are connected with the fact that from birth his parents instilled in him a love for physical education. Jackson has a great character that allows him to be No. 1 practicallyin everything. This guy can't help it.
Bae Suzy
Suzy was born on October 10, 1994. In 2010, she made her debut on the big stage in a music show. She is not only beautiful, but also knows many languages. This girl is quite erudite. Now Suzy is at the peak of popularity. She is called in many shows, commercials and dramas. We can only say that it obviously will not slow down and will constantly gain popularity. Not all Korean female idols are able to achieve such high recognition.
