- They train hard every day, hoping to achieve the type of stardom enjoyed by groups like BTS and EXO. But there’s one major obstacle for these up-and-coming K-pop stars: They’re not Korean. Chantel Simpson visited a New York City school where young American hopefuls learn to sing, dance and become the “perfect” K-pop star.

Lets face it.
You're not going to be an idol when you're just in it because of k-pop or because of BTS or Twice..
Ur so right honestly theirs more to it then just that. Diets schedules they can control ur life and chose what you do and don’t do
agreed you have to want it for yourself and yourself only it's ok to be inspired by them but ya shouldn't go to a jyp audition with a twice lightstick 😂
@Estela Lopez what about stray kids and svt?
true but I want to have fans u know Sorry If I am being selfish But does my dream count real If I want to have fans and be fame? I also want to go on concerts etc
@@sydney_jkihm no not for fame I also want that people get inspired from me and I want to help them with my song lyrics
Let's make clear. Asians are NOT same. There are vast cultural and racial differences among Asians. BUT EAST Asians and some Thais have been in Kpop industry for long time now. NON-East Asians will have enormous difficulties entering into Kpop industry for many reasons.
True Asia is really large and ranges from East Asians to middle easterners which is technically west Asia and there are soo many differences among them (I’m Middle Eastern myself and I do get a lot of questions about if I’m half Japanese or Korean by friends and even my half Malaysian friend asked me that question when I first met her, and I of course don’t take it as an insult. And personally I’m not interested in becoming an artist despite these questions I get)
May I ask, how about singaporeans?
@@jessicafxn1694 singaporeans are either chinese or malay. Chinese, as an East Asian ethnic group just like koreans are, have strong chance. Well there are already many chinese in kpop industry.
Let me guess... indians have a very bad chance?
@Peace Dream you are right. But hollywood had the biggest star in 70s who was East Asian. His name is Bruce Lee, who was at his prime the biggest star in hollywood. Those non-korean Kpop stars all fit in korean beauty standard AND look East Asian. Manchu people are in fact almost Korean, they look very similar to Korean.
No one:
The comment section: ReaLity CheCk
people in the comments section do need a reality check though...if you're not even at least half asian there is no chance of becoming an idol so yeah...
Ikr, theres people in their comments supporting them which isn’t a bad thing totally but they need to face the hard truths which is that they won’t possibly become a kpop idol.
@@susieluong6298 nothing is impossible but you, you can stay in that mind set.
-sushorato Reality. Check. ❤️.
@@susieluong6298 You need one too, yes reality do give you a slimmer chance but doesn't mean you cant be one ❤️❤️❤️like mark lee said: The possibility of all of these possibilities being possible is just another possibility that can possibly happen.
im black im scared because i dnt want to get called korean boo just for trying to sing in a other language
go for your dream ! even if you where asian you would get hate , just be expecting it okay ? i always wanna be one
I'm mixed I have always wanted to become a kpop idol I'm not a Korea boo I just love dancing and they dance the best but I'm too scared 😭
Random Random go for it sis I also want to become an idol but I’m Hispanic so I don’t have much of a chance but I’m proud to be Hispanic and I also love dancing we can do this together sis let’s both go twords our dream ❤️let’s fight for our goals and dreams I have a faith in both of us✨
Honestly i understand how you feel, but go for it. Remember every single kpop idol gets hate. But i am here for you! I will support you!
DW I am too but I’m English and white. Follow ur dreams
It's not just long hours of singing and dancing. There's much more than that. Acting, language class, they even teach you how to dress up, how to handle media, how to communicate with fans, produce songs, writing lyrics, compose music. That is why kpop star is all-round entertainer
Yea, at first i wasn't aware of that but trainees have classes about everything : how to talk on the radio ; how to pronounce english words ; ect .. ! It's so much work
Yea.. your right they're are all around entertainment and even they good at sports and go on world tour that's not a stressful job even am trying to audition that's a enjoying job 👍🏻
@@cs-bt1iw I hope that was a sarcasm. It definetly is stressful.
@@boopyournose5698 yea
I can be a Kpop cuz I’m from South Korea and I go in Kpop forced school it’s only for people how don’t have family’s and I don’t have to take audition to beacome Kpop cuz I go in Kpop forced school not simple but not hard my name is KimLisa banga woyu
My dream is to become a k pop idol (thanks for all support we all can make it together)
Your not the only one! We can do it!
I've been working hard on my dancing & parts but I need to improve on vocals and rap. I'm too scared I'll get rejected though..
ningning girllll, don’t say that, i believe in you. 💕
me too but this training center is in New York, i wont make it :c welp i hope i do
Ima practice really hard especially rn
But Can non Asians be Kpop idol?
Am I the only one that when they ask u “what do u want to be when u grow up” you just say whatever like I just say I want to be a teacher but in reality I really want to be a kpop idol 🥺💕
Same-💀
Me too- My teacher asked me that yesterday-
I say I don’t have a dream XD
But technically I don’t because it’s literally impossible for me to become an idol 😕

So we still on this ethnicity bs
@@riworld06 Yeah, well they’re not wrong at all. It’s not easy to become a k-pop idol. Even for Asians or African Americans, Native Americans, etc...
@@riworld06 I think its pretty simple to comprehend that kpop should be for Asians as it is built to give a spotlight. Since the west doesn't have that.
@@mochi_tae7405 I disagree
@@mochi_tae7405 once againnnn kpop isn’t meant for just Asians. Let’s not talk about how a lot of kpop is built on black and western culture. Please don’t get me started with hitting y’all with facts and research.
Being an idol is a really unattainable career. I know there are a lot of people who want to be an idol but don't just do it because you like Kpop or you want to get close to your oppars or unnies. *Do it because you genuinely have a passion for the Kpop industry.* Do it, if you are willing to work years maybe even decades to achieve your dream and make huge sacrifices.
Honestly I am. I don't really care if I ever get to meet my faves but ik that I just wanna perform. I love doing it and I LOVE music and I might audition and also I'm Asian
@@no-ys4gm Same I don’t wanna meet them I just want too perform on stage, show everyone my talent and all :’)
I’m Hispanic and I wanna have a group and sing and dance but I don’t wanna train to be a kpop idol yk? Like idk if I can be in a group but not a kpop group but idk where they can take that
I just want to be known for my talent-

Majority of y’all wanna be a kpop idol just to meet ur favs like bts, txt, nct. But it ain’t work like that, the trainee system is super super hard and I can tell some of y’all wouldn’t even last a sec in the industry. Visuals are also a main part, so u have to fit the korean beauty standard
Damn you mad rude.

@@mimisspa2847 no she doesn’t fatou is just used for cloud she need to know that she won’t be an kpop idol if she isn’t at least Asian sorry that’s reality guys
Everyone wants to be a kpop idol, which is cool n all. I have nothing against it but them korean industry gonna bash u down. You're gonna do the unspeakable things you've never thought these kpop idol HAVE TO DO. There's gonna be rules, high diet, not getting paid most of the time n ect😔Everything might seem glitter n glamor till they drop ur contract.
EDIT: I love the determination that some of you commented but to be really honest, some of it sounds very ignorant and stubborn. I'm not saying you should not proceed your dream of being an kpop idol but all I'm giving is warning signs, hints, and etc. You doing research is not gonna help you feel, see, or go through that process of you becoming an idol. This is not a 9 to 5 job kind of thing. You hear stories from actual idol of their experience of what they went through just to be an idol. You even hear or see that some of these idol are taking their OWN LIVES due to stress, overwhelming, being pressured, and etc for crying out loud. Some of them even moved outta south korea and lives in different states due whatever reason, they had. Plus the most stupidest thing, I've ever heard was that Hyuna and E'Dawn were fired from their management industry due to them falling in love and announcing their relationship publicly. All these flashing cameras and fans is great feeling but behind close door is another different story. Just because they are celebrity, idol, models, and etc... Don't mean IT'S GONNA BE EASY. They may have it all but lord knows they struggle with something that they're not telling anyone about. You wanna kick rocks... be my guest but I won't be surprised that another celebrity, idol or whatever had died due to this and that.
period.
i'm trying warn sister ᵇᵘᵗ ˢʰᵉ ⁿᵒ ˡⁱˢᵗᵉⁿ
im pretty sure most ppl wanting to become kpop idols know about this, tbh i don't see the point in signing up if it isn't grueling and crushing, surely that's a good thing no?
I don't care I just wanna do what I love to do when I grow up (I'm 10 years old)

One of the hardest jobs I’ve seen but 😅 especially with the amount of saseangs
@@marykhyzeldejano7012 I don't want to sound rude but you're so young, only 10. Are you sure you know what you actually want as a career at that age and the sacrifices you're going to have to make?
To those wanting to pursue this career, I understand your dreams and ambitions but take a look into the industry before you decide to push for this particular dream. Pursuing a K-pop career has it's perks but they basically only come AFTER fame. Companies are known to be very bias, money suckling, restrictive and even prejudice towards their trainees. There is a reason you haven't seen international k-pop groups or members blow up like BTS, RED VELVET, MAMAMOO or etc. If you're darker, non-korean, a bit bigger, not pretty enough and etc you risk a very high chance of experiencing judgment and bias in this industry. Why do you think the entirety of EXO-M (aside from lay) backed out from the Korean industry? They all filed for human rights violation lawsuits and were very open about the prejudice they faced and bias SM had for the Korean members.
The form of training they go through, we as international fans would call abuse. Many don't stay in the industry for long after experiencing that first hand. If you wan't a music career make one for yourself, you'll make far more money that way (because these companies are known to put trainees in debt and take up to 70% of their earnings.) and won't have to go through this grueling process. The music industry in general is always looking for fresh new ideas and music so you as an aspiring artist can become one wherever you reside.
The big3 doesn't have that debt system anymore
I still want to become an Idol tho
@@janiahsantos5673 But its still a slim chance that someone will get into the big 3 since everyone wants to be in the big 3 since they are so popular.
Liu YangYang audition for Pnation they treat their idols the best and are having a audition
By making your own music career, do you mean not signing with a company? I'm a bit confused but this seems like solid advice. I mean, id love producing my own music anyways
When you’re mixed, black and white lmao they would never take me
Same
I know that, shit man
Same ✋🏼
Have you considered making it in the US or so and then promote in Asia?
Samee
honestly u could debut and could become an idol the thing is no one would know u. the idols we know are the top 0.01% of the industry
@Hey itz Ari i just love merida lol
@@meridaofclandunbroch2627 but like,,,if someone manages to get into a big company (like yg or jyp) and debut they are probably gonna make it,,,,,, because these companies are very famous right? i just want a non asian to debut from a big company and see if they make it😁
@@lamiaprokrity3908 big companies probably wouldnt take that risk. there are loads and loads of young extremely talented korean kids who have dreamed of becoming an idol since they were three, going to tutors that specifically train kpop idols and are trying to become a trainee at big companies. why would the companies use more resources to teach a foreigner who most likely doesnt speak perfect korean, doesnt have formal training, and doesnt understand the culture/have the mindset of becoming an idol. even taking in japanese, chinese, thai trainees is a risk for the company let alone other races
@@meridaofclandunbroch2627 yeah you're right but im just curious that if a foreigner actually makes it then will they be famous bcz of the company lol
@@lamiaprokrity3908 i mean there's lisa from blackpink, the japanese members from treasure, bambam from got7, foreign members from nct
As an ex trainee, the only thing i can say is... If you have talent and passion, you're gonna make it
Btw i dropped out because i didn't had any money :/
what do the wannabe idols have to go through n what about their education n stuff?? n is it really that bad, or GOOD??
Under what company did you train bc companies don't make their trainees pay for the training.....
Don't get me wrong,I am pretty sure your company wasn't big3 or BIGHIT..or cube I can say.
Only these companies can handle foreigners... And they don't take fees
(Sorry for being rude)
@@viraltrenders if you are Korean, you will attend prestigious schools like sopa for idols and trainees where Jungkook used to do but a foreigner is more likely to be homeschooled but only in big companies like big3 or BIGHIT ...
Also the reason foreigners aren't send to schools are because Koreans have different study structure
@@burnracistgrammycuzbtsdidn7752 I've heard korea is severe in terms of bullying and racism.. tbh, that's the only thing that's scaring me!!
I hate to break it to ya'll,but you have a 0.0000001% chance of debuting and being successful as an idol,debuting as a korean is already super hard, and it will be harder for non east Asians/non south east Asians,And not to mention that if you get accepted into a company, you will be in huge dept later on. Because training someone to become kpop idol is not easy or cheap, and the company pays for EVERYTHING for your food, rent, transportation, school, your debut, comebacks,a comeback can cost you around hundreds of thousands of dollars, and a debut can cost up to millions of dollars, and ofcourse they pay the lessons that you get to train, and you have to pay that back to the company after you debut. You pay them back by making album sales and Merch sales, the company will take around 80% of the money you make, they take the money to pay your dept, and this process continues for years until you later on disband, if your lucky and you became famous, you will be able to pay that dept, but if you were unknown as an idol, you have to pay the company after you disband
Honestly everyone in this whole comment section is mostly in it to become a k-pop idol or just to date a k-pop idol.
@@hono_moo433 A lot of people aren't like that, but they don't realize that by not being asian/looking asian, their chances are instantly incredibly close to zero
@@andrek.2786 no, JYP himself said he wants to make an American and Mexican kpop group.
I dont think many people have actually taught about the money. Like Im pretty much aware of most of the downsides but I never really taught about the money lol

Everyone in the comments saying that they want to be a K-pop star but are too scared of being called a Korea boo. Just know that "Fear is an illusion." Also people will hate on you no matter what, that's just sadly the society we live in. But you all can do it :)
yeah i agree with u kpop idols get tons of hate and get criticism and get cancelled for the smallest things they do if they don't have a strong mentality they shouldn't go in the industry in the first place. To survive in this industry they need to have strong mentality.
Tysm for this
Fatou replied to a comment that asked her if she can become an idol despite her skin tone and she said yes if you ignore haters and go towards your dream. Reality wise I probably wouldn’t be brave enough to audition and would probably stick to my original dream of opening a dance studio in Korea. Either way, it doesn’t hurt to try.
Idc if I'm not korean I'm an Asian AND IM PROUD OF ME I WILL NEVER END MY DREAM TO BECOME A KPOP ARTIST WITH MY OWN K POP GROIP MEMBERS
Yaaas work hard ma dude
👏👏👏
Let’s work hard to make our dream come true! ❤️
Do you have members already ? And can i ask where are oyu from?
its_so_wonderful day thank you for letting us know!
Some of y’all in the comments need a reality check ... being an idol isn’t easy work, especially if ure a foreigner. The trainee system is extremely difficult and tortuous, if u actually want to be an idol, make sure you’re absolutely serious about this. Remember that the kpop industry is extremely corrupted and is already saturated enough with new groups debuting every week so your success as a kpop idol is based on luck or if u happen to be in a big company. The kpop idol life isn’t as dreamy and nice as you think it is.
Edit: LORD u mfs in the Comments are so fucking deluded to the fact that the kpop industry is a corrupted and toxic space that profits off of manufactured visuals and appearances, as well as the dehumanization of people. My god. To put it blunt, if ure not Asian, and not just that, if ure fucking ugly, don’t try in an industry where you don’t even compare. If ure this passionate about “pErfOrming” and “siNginG” then go make it big in your home country instead of taking away chances from actual talented people. I know damn well you’re not actually wanting to become a singer or a dancer, you want to be a kpop idol solely because you’re under the impression that this industry is all fairy tales and sunshine, get ur head out of the fucking gutter and find a new goal in life instead of wanting to meet ur little oppars and unnirs.
Edit 2: STOP EMBARASSIMG URSELF IN MY REPLIES PLZ 😭😭😭😭 just bc there was a few non Asian idols doesn’t mean u can be one !!! Most of these non Asian idols are literally flops FLOPS😭😭 nobody cares bro go get an education and study or smtn nobody cares
Edit 3: Listen I rlly dc if yall non Asians become idols, I stated an opinion and it’s an opinion, meaning not everyone will agree. If ure non Asian and u want to become an idol, then ok, it’s not up to me, it’s up to the Korean general public😄😄😄😄😄 now stop arguing bc it’s getting old ☺️☺️☺️🖕🖕🖕

short answer: No. just leave it at that especially my black brothers and sisters, you will be MISTREATED. point. blank. you're not going to debut, it's the harsh reality. Koreans mixed with black are not treated well, Darker skin/ tan full blood Koreans are not always treated well. let that sink in. pursue your dream, but go about it realistically. They are influenced by black culture anyway so be you.

@Hey itz Ari ahhh! Yeaa, I get you!!! I apologize for taking it hardly!!
It’s not black culture
The only one I imagine to stay stronger is Hwasa from Mamamoo. She is tanned but successful
I am a bit concerned for these people... their dancing is very off and it seems like they have it easier than Korean trainees... Am I wrong?
Depends sometimes they go through more and have to go through tons of hate and get mistreated and ofterly paid less
But sometimes they can get a slightly easier pass

To become a kpop idol you need to be mentally and physically STRONG you need to be prepared to sacrifice everything in your life plus you will have absolutely no control over your life your every step will be watched by millions n one wrong step will ruin your whole life on top of that there is no guarantee how long your group would last... God.. It's awful.. These trainees literally gamble their life to debut... thousands of trainees but only few of them make it.. I have never dreamt of becoming a kpop star seeing what goes behind the scene.. We only see the glamour on screen but it's a whole another story behind those screens..

@G-Taehyung I think the reason people look to kpop vs, their own countries is because it’s easier to visualize their dream. Like in America I have no idea how to make it big. You don’t become a trainee or anything. In Korea it’s easier to wrap your head around because you know you have to audition and debut. But anyways I don’t wanna become a pop star at all so idk much about the actual process for any country.
i mean I'm not an expert but the american industry is so hard to get into. I mean there's talent show (american idol, agt, etc) but those are rigged. it's hard to get signed to. you have to be pretty talented or make some viral song to make it big

all of these comments of all these kids saying they wanna be a k-pop star but aren't korean...i hate to break it to you, but no matter how hard you try and determined you are, you most likely never make it. and even if you become a trainee, there is a low chance you will even debut. many koreans who train for years never make it, so you most likely won't either.
@@chuu7118 At least you got into the doors to experience it. To some people, it isn't a waste of time! :) especially because most forgiers are 18 when they leave to audition so its just the start of their adult lives.
@🙂Happy Feeling🙃 yes. you have a higher chance than foreigners if you're asian. the highest chance if you're korean. Lalisa is Thai. That's asian. She's an extremely good dancer and rapper, which is what YG is looking for. When i say foreigner, i mean as in non-asians.
🙂Happy Feeling🙃 because she is southeast asian
This is what I hate, you all think of non Korean/non Asian people as a lower range, y'all be like "many Koreans have tried so I doubt u will make it" like why bring the word Korean into it?
SoobinsBread that KaiAte bro not only koreans...... they only accept asian people I’m general if you’re not asian or even half asian than it be very hard to make it but not impossible either.
They are training them easily and sending the "best" off to Korea where they'll be torn down and have their self-esteem ruined
This is just my opinion
As an Asian I have had racist comments all my life and hated my race. For an Asian group to finally thrive and be popular it’s like a dream come true. Which is why I don’t want non Asians to join. This feels like a community that is ours and no one else’s. Whilst people can admire I don’t think they should join.
THIS.
Tbh, I think THIS is something that Koreans and their industry need to decide and us as foreigners can’t. That said, if non Asians manage to get past the auditions, and into the trainee stage and all that, they’ll have a lot more to deal with, like the intense criticism and knets commenting on everything from their looks to how they speak and all that. Only time will tell if any non Asian foreigners will make it
so true :(
But the fact that kpop is based of hip hop and r&b made by foreigners
Like fatou?
Some of y'all need a reality check. The K-Pop industry is a way to give ASIANS a spot light. Not people who aren't. If you want to sing, dance, rap, and so on you can join a western group with INSPIRATION of kpop. Y'all saying "I want to grow up to be a K-Pop idol" are not seeing beyond that. It's not all shine and shimmer, even ASAINS themselves have a hard time debuting. Now just imagine someone who's a foreigner(non-asian).
Edit: can't yall join a western group? I know your countries have ways to sing and dance in the public.
Edit: could yall stop replying now? Like bark among the ppl in the comments and stop @(ing) me bc u feel offended. 🧍♀️

But I didnt had any intentions of becoming an idol lol, it's very hard but my sister just took it as an easy peasy job and thought she will get accepted right away. I dont say these kinda things to people cuz then they jump on me like " ur discouraging me"💀
I'm like 100% European and idc, I'm learning, improving myself, training hard and I'll audition next year 😅
UPDATE: Still holding onto my words, I'm learning, exercising, dancing, and not actually singing but I started writing short songs, don't give up guys ❤️❤️
2nd UPDATE: I've started dancing a lot for those 6 months, and I've gotten much better. I'd love to be a dancer now, that I think of it.
AND I think it's great that I decided I wanna be a dancer. I'm really thankful that I haven't stoped training myself because of people telling me that a non Asian can't get into kpop. If I wouldn't want to be an Idol, I probably wouldn't learn that singing, writing and dancing is an amazing hobby for me, even if I'm not that great at one or another. (I'm still going to audition thouh, see you in an audition ubdate after next 6 months lmao) Guys after you'll all be kpop stars, hire me as your backup dancer pls 🙏
Omg I’m European too we can make it together 💪🎤
Ok
Hey Girls how old are you? I would want to try it too in jyp entertainment! 🤗
@Hirai Momo I know but if I won't try to complete my dreams I'll feel bad with not even trying. If I won't get trough any auditions then I'll just pass but if somebody will believe in it that I can make it into Kpop then I think trying won't be a bad idea even if there will be a lot of hate. Eventually some 'complete forgeiner' will make it there. ☺️
Can i ask where are you from from which country?
Why not just set up international pop group organizations? Rather than having to be Asian and be able to speak Korean, just be a performing group representing the country you’re from. Following the formula of Kpop, each country can set up their own artist groups. As time progresses, we might even get a pop olympics.
Your absolutly right
Fr
Kpop companies are NOT going to take Non-Asians. If they do take Non-Korean Asians, then they’re going to pick people who can pass as Korean or fit Korean beauty standards. They’re just not going to take Black, White, Hispanic, etc people. They’re not that appealing to Korean audiences meaning the company would be losing money by accepting them. If your not Asian, trying to be a Kpop star is a huge waste of time and money. The woman in the video who is training those Non-Koreans so that they can audition for Kpop companies is scamming those people, she is taking their money knowing that Korean companies won’t accept them.
Your comment is the best here. It's just fact. It has less to do with the K-pop industry and more to do with a culture. An entire culture is not just going to change their beauty standards.
Please don't say you're ready to become a kpop star. The kpop industry is really hard
Theres diets, possibly plastic surgery I don’t know , not enough sleep, lots of training
But if you still want to do it then you can do it
they wont accept anyone that looks different or someone that doesnt fit the beauty standards of korea. Remember Kriesha tiu, the first filipino kpop idol? her company actually tried to sell the idea that she was from china (but she does look like shes from china though) even though she openly said that shes a full filipino.
Edit: I have seen a lot of comments saying that people like us have an unrealistic dream, and they're right. I am well aware of that but I really have no other purpose in life tbh. I'd rather put all my effort than let my life go to waste. My race isn't accepted almost anywhere, so I might as well go big or go home. Also I am not a koreaboo, I am proud of my own race and don't have any plans on changing that.
I’ve been intrigued by the Kpop industry ever since I was 7 and I dream of debuting as an idol... the problem is that I’m Native American and trans. I know I’d face tons of hate for that, but I’d be willing to power through it. I want to use music to speak up about issues I’ve experienced or seen. I want to be able to help people that have gone through similar experiences as me.
I’m almost 13 and , until I turn 15, I will train myself. I will work hard to improve my singing, rapping, and dancing so I can increase my chances. If I don’t make it, at least I tried and I will continue to train myself and push myself to become a singer.
I'm more in it for the company because it offers a lot of benefits that I wouldn't be able to reach with just the help from my family. However I do have a backup plan of starting a group with others that are similar to me, so don't worry if the plan doesn't work out.
Also, I'm not too comfortable with saying my gender identity so I will be performing as my birth sex (female)
I'm with you!! I'm transgender and Caucasian but it's my dream to become a K-pop idol, hopefully the industry will open up to us with enough hard work
Me too! I’m latino and transgender so it might be hard for me. But I will train myself and improve my dancing. As well as improving my rapping! I’ve always wanted to be an idol and i’m determined to make that dream come true
@@sneerdotcom oh wow! Good luck! I hope things work out for you. Do you have a company in mind or would you go into any company?

@@lalalaylaysworld who?
The video isn’t working, but from comments I’ve seen
Personally I don’t see anything wrong with a non-Asian being in the kpop industry. I’ve seen people saying we have our own industry, but remember there are Asians in it. Maybe it’s harder for them to be in it, but it’s harder for non-Asians to be in the kpop industry as well. All the hate non-Asians get in the industry is stupid to me.
yeah and when non koreans says that non koreans shouldn't be in kpop is just funny because it shows that they are fetishizing koreans.
Sunshine what’s funny to me is that koreans are in the western industry too so why can’t non koreans do kpop as well? i find it so odd that someone can’t debut as a kpop idol because they don’t look asian enough. also they have english parts in their songs so the non koreans could easily get those lines or learn the language... it doesn’t make sense to me. people get so much hate if they say they wanna become kpop idols
not only that, but it’s hard to make it in the western industry. like in korea you can audition to be a part of an entertainment and it’s not like that in america
@@nuf2emit oh i think the same, like why you should drop your dream of becoming a kpop idol? cuz you white, is it really the reason? like lmao

My best friend and I both have been practicing together for days, week, even months and we dream to make it into the kpop industry! I hope more into the future there is a chance of non Asians to enter without being called kboo or get discriminated by everyone. Good luck to those who will audition!

@@allenma5104 oh yh true, but still sea is still very large
Yeah, if you are a non-asian, you can just be a normal pop star :/
@@krna9358 im an asian but even as an asian its easy to see that the regular pop market doesn't favor to dancing and singing at the same time, or the concept of pop groups. Whereas kpop does, so if someone wants to do that and theyre not eastern asian (or eastern asian looking) i can see how it would be frustrating for them to find opportunities. Its a bit of a sticky situation
Tbh, I really don’t think that non Asians even have a chance at getting into the kpop world. It’s hard enough for Asians who aren’t East Asian, I mean look at how many Thai idols we have. We have quite a few but compared to Chinese, Japanese and obviously korean, there aren’t as much
Yup
But the new group "blackswan" has foreigners... and even a black girl, so yeah, non - Asians do have a chance (and I'm Asian)
@@suawelp this might sound kinda mean (I don’t mean it that way) but when have we really seen a kpop group with non Asians succeed the way groups with all Asians have? Of course I wish the best for groups like blackswan, but like I said it’s hard even for groups that have non East Asians sometimes. It’s not totally impossible to make it into the kpop world as a non asian, I should’ve worded it better. But it certainly is harder to be more successful if the person isn’t asian

If your ever planning on being a Kpop Idol please don't do it just for Blackpink or because your a fan of one of the bands.
You have to know what your going to experience.
Am Korean and Nigerian and I want to be apart of my moms culture and become a kpop idol🥰 but the problem is that I’m afraid if I tell them that I’m Korean they might not believe me because I have dark skin and I don’t look Asian😞 well my eyes are pretty Asian but I don’t think they will care.
But I am still going to try
Fighting✊🏾
You can do it!
You can do it! Just keep in mind that it’s going to be extremely hard since you have to dedicate lots of your time and you’ll have to sacrifice many things. Either way, I’m rooting for you. Fighting ✊🏼💜
You're afraid to tell them you're Korean? but if you're half Korean & Nigerian, don't they already know that? especially if they're married or in a relationship? I'm confused.
To be honest, I want to be an idol. But I gave up on my Dream because I know I’ll never be accepted by the public. People hate Lana, EXP, Kachii, etc because there not Asian. It’s hypocritical but true
Me: cries in Italian
Well ngl if u can’t handle or be ready for that type of stuff u aren’t ready it’s nice u wanna be an idol but if u wanna do it u have to be ready for dieting,practicing, sleeping for 2-4 hours every day and racism or discrimination if ur a foreigner. A lot of Koreans/Asians get enough hate so imagine us foreigners but if/when ur ready u should try !
People only hate Kaachi because they aren’t a K-Pop group. K-Pop is an industry of music in Korea. Not a genre. If they didn’t debut or train at an actual K-Pop company, they’re just western pop with badly pronounced Korean.
tocci。 💯 I agree, i feel like I would’ve supported them if they were fully trained at an actual agency and could pronounce/speak Korean.
@@imiasf1933 Yea, they have potential and definitely pretty good vocals. The company they work for just doesn’t know how to properly train the Kaachi girls to their full potential. And the way their company styles them? Heck, I think I could do a better job. If they went to an actual Korean Company considering how they like the K-Pop style of music, they would have been a pretty good group.
Can a latina/mestiza who looks Asian because of native american features become a Kpop Idol? Many of them get mistaken of being asian.
go for it sis!
Arisu Nakano yes
Go for it!

No
Don’t sign with the big companies
People forget that kpop is about the talent and not the race

Same here! Although my singing isnt that good im willing to go through the training process, learning korean and learning about their culture just so I can debut
Same
Waste of time
I’m sorry to say this you sound like a really good person but it’s called kpop for a reason to give Asian people the spotlight not non Asian people ,don’t colonize kpop if you really want to sing and all that you can do it in the America (sorry if I came out rude)
Don't waste ur time
This is a big dream of mine not because of what other people think non Asians want to audition for, but because their culture is mesmerizing. K pop has helped me a lot, it was my shoulder to cry on, my getaway, my safe place. It’s been there for me when no one else was, so it really has an important place in my heart. It’s a feeling I’d like to share with others. Now on TikTok there been a lot of negativity because of the audition, and although it’s true, they are focusing on nationality not race. But I hope one day it’s okay for a non Asian to do this.
YES this is the reason why i want to become a K-pop idol to. it helped me so much in life and I'm dont care what people are saying so much negativity and I'm Pakistani and Muslim so its harder fo me but im gunna try and i BELIVE IN YOU TO we will make it one day I TRUST YOU.! Don't let the negtive comments distract you! YOU GOT THIS!
Alexandria Reid is mixed race not black. She said her mother is (either) half black and white or just black. But her father is white. So she's either 75% white and 25% black or 50/50. She's still mixed either way. Blackswan has a black girl in the group called "Fatou" who is Senegalese French.

Some things you should know.
If you aren’t Asian or Korean you need to at least look like it.
If you can’t dance, you need to practice.
If you can’t sing, practice.
If you don’t look cute/handsome/hot/pretty, you most likely won’t get it.
If you don’t have confidence, you have a slim chance, try gaining confidence.
If you don’t speak Korean, learn.
You need to know everything important about being a kpop idol, consequences, diet, life style, schedule.
If you’re only trying to be one for fame and fans, don’t attempt.
You need to be skilled at dancing and singing.
You need to be nice and have a good personality/attitude, if not then you probably won’t get it, you need to be a peoples person.
A lot of you may disagree with some of these but I’ve done my research and it’s all true. I’m not saying you won’t make it and that you won’t become an idol, I’m simply just saying some requirements that I know of, keep in mind it’s extremely hard to become a kpop idol. follow your dreams and stay on top of everything. Do what makes you happy.
If y'all want to be an kpop idol just to see your idols don't!! But if you really want to be an kpop idol no matter how hard it was keep pursuing your dreams because one day it's all gonna be worth it! Dreams can come true if you have a courage to pursue it 😗
its good that a lot of people here are passionately chasing for their dreams but i want to remind some of you that we sometimes need to sit down, breathe, and just think about it. we also need to think about realism and practicality when making life choices.
Thank you. You helped me realize that it's not worth it to sacrifice my whole youth for a very very hard to reach and downright unhealthy dream(to be a kpop star), My ultimate dream is to help and inspire people around the world, PeRfOm at the Wembley Stadium, and be a Legendary pop star(iknowimextra) but I'm not going to do it on a toxic platform like the kpopindustry. Today I read an article about what kidols do after their contract has ended and mostly their careers just fail . After all the hard work when the contract is over they are just dumped in the world by companies, it kind of made me realize that I'm chasing a very shallow dream . After your comment , I really thought about it and I figured that I'm going to be a popstar, as in american pop, that too isn't the best but it faar better than kpop and it's actually attainable without literally giving away years of my life and I can be with my family too.
I prayed and asked God to like clear my head and let me figure things out, guess he/she brought me to this comment.
I dunno why but I feel like I got my ish together now.i feel relieved kind of relaxed, idk. Maybe cuz I have a clear head . It's nice to see a helpful and kind comment like this to actually think about your dreams unlike a hateful comment that make dreamers like me be even stubborner . Thank you soo much.🥰🥰

some of you guys need a reality check. Kpop isn’t all of that many people in the kpop industry have been mistreated for example, The Rose those boys were not being paid at all by their old company and have only recently left their old company. If you’re not asian do NOT audition they won’t accept you. Even right now in the industry many kpop idols who are asian but not korean have gotten so much hate for not being korean.
True that. I think people are getting their hope too high.
Imagine the cons of being an idol such as dieting, practice, and etc wow I wouldn’t survive even if I love dancing
It’s sad that some people think that non-Asians who want to be idols only want to be idols to meet their opars and unnies or they only want to become idols because of bts.

But here is something you can do it if you’re ready to sacrifice a lot and maybe all your life and self !
+don’t let anyone say you’re a Korean boo just because you love k-pop and want to be like then 👍💙✨
if you’re not asian or mixed asian don’t even try if, you do debut everyone would say “she’s/he’s trying to colonise kpop” and being a kpop idol is exclusive to asians only
I think it'd be cool if they had something like NCT Units but for different countries, kinda like how WayV is Chinese
Make a duo of Yuta and Shotaro👀
I dont get it why dont they do this in every country
they do it in most countries, but kpop is more famous than majority of other cultures pop music
Whenever someone tells me that they want to be an idol i put the question,
Why not being a backup dancer instead? And i guess that changes their perspective
thats what my friends be saying. I tell em if they passionate about singing why not just be a singer . Since its really rough in the kpop industry and plus they cn promote themselves but they always get mad at me
Honestly becoming a backup dancer is going to be a lot easier, they are not as strict with weight and appearance

YOU GO GIRL(OR GUY) YOU GOT THIS WERE ASIAN TO ! THE COMMENTS HERE ARE SO NEGATIVE BUT WE ALL HAVE WILDER DREAMS THEN THIS IF THEY LET PEOPLE KILL OTHERS THAN WHY NOT LET US BE A KPOP IDOL? YOU GOT THIS I BELIVE IN YOU! YOU NICE KEEP GOING!
There are TEN year olds, at the age of ten I was still failing classes. Y’all these kids have talent. The only reason I would like to do K-Pop is because I would like to dance more not just sing. So yeah- I have low hopes.
I see a lot of people commenting on this video saying that they’re gonna be a kpop idol because they believe it and they study hard bla bla. I got so sad when i read them because they believe that just with hard work they can be idols. It doesn’t work like that tho. Because they choose the ones who can make the most money not the ones with most talent. And kpop is basically korean pop it’s a culture. And i don’t think westerns can’t show this culture they don’t fit kpop.
If they have talent why they don’t try something in their country or usa? I know a lot of muslims, black, white, hispanic people on classic pop because it’s worldwide.
And being an idol is really really hard like %1 out of 100.000 can make it. Because they always choose the best ones. Most of our favourite idols took dance and vocal lessons since they were litteral kids. And there are some teen girls learning kpop dance on their own and call themselves good enough to be an idol. Nah honey you’re not.
It’s just wasting your time go study for your lessons and do something good to make your parents feel proud
y’all yk u have to at least be asian 😭😭 it’s called kpop for a reason... at least look asian. ofc u can train but ur most likely not gonna debut cuz ur not asian 😭 stop colonizing everything @ yt ppl
@Nubian Princess Do you not know what is colonize? Look bro agencies has rules most of them is to look asian go cry about it you can be a rapper like cardi-B why take chances from real asians 💀💀💀🙄
Could say the same thing back by cultures that influence kpop
EXACTLY
its called kpop not asian-pop lmaooo theres many thai's and non korean kpop indols in kpop but yeah u have to look asian
dont kpop idols steal our culture? their whole career is inspired but us black people sooo
It isn't about which country we are from, it's about the talent and the looks. Kpop industries look for people who are talented and can train all day long to make it to debut. And YES, obviously we need to learn Korean.
I wish you were right
But actually no even if u were talented
Koreans will not accept a non asian idols.. I wish i could not say it but most of koreans r racist they will hate on u if u were white black or brown
They even do a surgery on non korean idols to look more korean just to make koreans accept em

Do u guys realise that you have to sign a contract ? You’re basically selling your life to the industry for a few years. You HAVE to follow detailed instructions. You guys think you’ll get a kpop company like bighit?? No , even BIGHIT isn’t t best company but it’s the best we’ve been told about . You’ll be lucky to get a company like them . Most companies make their idols starve and make them work to deaths like puppets and some even get beaten to keep going even when they’re body physically can not . when your favs disband i guarantee the majority of you guys won’t want to carry on with being a kpop idol . It’s not just a pretty little dream . This is reality . Please be careful with your choices in life . Look over it again . Korean kpop idols get treated awfully themselves, imagine how a non korean is treated . Not everything is smiles and joy . Think again about this before u make the biggest mistake of your life .
Unfortunately the truth is... if you are not Korean or asian then you won’t debut.
All of the super famous Kpop groups (BTS, BLACKPINK, etc) have mostly Korean members. And even if you are not Asian and make it through the auditions, you will have to compete against Asians to get a spot in a group. For non Koreans, it’s already hard; think about the chinese members in EXO who left because of discrimination. Even in the newest kpop groups right now, all their members are Korean / part korean. If it’s hard for other east asians to succeed, it’s basically impossible for non-asians. The korean public already heavily criticises their own people. How many times have you seen idols getting bullied for appearance, darker skin, etc? Companies don’t care about feelings, THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR DREAMS; thousands of others have the same “dream” as you. If you don’t fit their standard, they will turn you away in the blink of an eye. They only care about who can rake in the most money. Even if you make it in, Debut isn’t guaranteed. There are trainees in the industry who spend years training, Yet they don’t make it. I’m sorry, but this is reality and y’all need to stop sugarcoating the topic.
Y’all don’t get it, just because you “look” asian or because it’s your dream doesn’t mean that you’ll make it in. Sorry but y’all need a reality check.
Finally a realistic comment.
@@bewiahfbeipeoples are so delusional these days
0101 reality check again, it certainly does, unless you are a half korean/asian who have these high korean beauty standards (e.g. like Kai from Txt, he is a great vocalist but oc its because of his k-beauty image which also a big impact in kpop. And korean companies are picky and mostly follows the common standards in the k industries.
And everything doesn’t have to do with talent/skill, just sad fun fact. So being a non asian is absolutely a HUGE disadvantage than asians, its harsh and reality hurts tbh.
“they speak english perfect” immediately cuts to a clip of RM AHHHAHAHHAHA
i want to become a Kpop idol I’m Mexican-American because you get to dance,sing,rap have fun with your group, but at then same time I think about what would people think of me, I want to audition but I’m also scared
Same 🥺
I hope you know that being a kpop idol isn't just abt having fun with your group, you have to make a lot of sacrifices, face a lot of hate and toxicity and work like hell. The kpop industry is incredibly toxic and brutal and its going to be very hard. However, if you're truly passionate abt music and being an idol and you understand the sacrifices you have to make, then go for it. But make sure you know what you're getting yourself into because its not all fun and glitter.
