The tour/road manager seems like a really tough job they should definitely get paid more. They also put themselves at risk driving the idols around and all these crazy fans who run up to the vehicles and stuff. I wonder about the security guards sometimes, too. They have a scary and tough job at times. I notice that even when idols are in groups they have their own personal manager I always wondered why that was. I know each company also has their own resident choreographers, producers, etc. I would love to be a stylist or choreographer for a company or group although I’m sure it’s tough work.
@kai_STAY They get paid around 28,700 USD which is pretty less as average salary of Korea is 48,000+ USD. And times are changing though there are big companies who have resident choreographers they're professionals who have been in the industry for long, they don't take in freshers. As I said the time is changing so now labels approach different crews and choreographers and ask them to make a choreo for a song they'll be sent and then the label at times take few parts from each team and make a choreo through that. The choreographers whose choreo gets picked are paid while the rest aren't so even if you did spend time on making a choreo you won't be paid if it ain't chosen.
@xxjadexxomg I'm not her, but, theoretically, a foreigner can do anything, as long as he or she can speak the language and is capacitated for the job. The exception are the jobs where "name" or "brand" matters. In those cases, the language barrier can even be ignored, as we can frequently see when a company contracts a famous foreigner producer, choreographer, etc.

Yay! Idol Insider!!! Don't let the haters bring you down. Remember: Creative criticism is good criticism, but anyone who just says negative things are haters.
I actually want to do something along the line of a creative director, and writer. For example, HYBE usually produces a series of mvs, with all linked together to some backstories, theories, and references from literature novels that yet again gets deeper into a bunch of concepts like psychoanalysis, adolescence behaviours, chaos theories...etc .. I just want to be somewhere in the desk of people who read through such concepts, select the ideas, and put together to weave something as complex, and intriguing as HYBE does ✨. May I know what the hell I have to do to get there? I don't even know if clearly put forward on what I am looking forward to....
Same I hate fast fashion, I love sustainability and making clothes by hand and it sounds really fun to make clothes for the idols (that actually fIT AND ARE COMFORTABLE) at least for major outfits like music videos
@@patriciawilkin1258 Thats so awesome that you want to work against fast fashion!!! I hope you land that job because I think that's amazing and super needed within the industry (:
And I read that sometimes you can join a dance company like 1 million dance studio or other dance companies, and they sometimes send their dancers to be the backup dancers for the idols.
I want to be a person in charge of albums and their group concept or videographer/video editor or SNS marketinf or makeup artist. I'm into arts (includes makeup) and music. And as a fangirl I think I can help the company because I know how other fangirls feel. I want to ask the idols opinions about the album and their concept because I think their opinion really matter. I also want to interact with their fans.
SAME MAN!! I WANT TO DO EXACTLY THIS EXCEPT MAKEUP THING...BUT I REALLY WANT TO BE A MANAGER OF A KPOP GROUP OR WANTS TO GIVE IDEAS ABOUT THEIR SONGS I WANT TODO THISSSSS😭💜
For these things most companies usually go for a third party specialist, like approaching a person who is a professional and hire em as per contract for such things. Though some people with time do get permanent position and they're visual designers/directors who design the album arts, albums, logos tho these things at times is partly shared by graphic designers depending on the company. There's an article how introducing yourself as a fan of any idol would reduce your chances of getting into any entertainment label so it's better to not mention it as labels avoid taking in fans for various reasons.
Being a stylist for idols must be so fun you can dress them to make them look good with fancy or classic outfits and accessories, i love fashion so much that sounds tough but if you enjoy it i’m sure it’s amazing, i would love to do that... anyway love your idol insider series sending you love from france 💕
thank you for your videos, korea is so interesting! one day, i hope i'll have the chance to visit korea, learn about your cultures and hopefully work there. sending my love from my little island of tahiti 🌺
That was a great 20 minutes! I agree on the production trends. Few companies what to keep producers on the payroll. Independents are where its at. I play instruments, work soundboards, do marketing and so my career goal is to sell Soobeanie T-shirts. Keep the videos coming. Love em!
So a lot of the things you were saying seems to be fitted with either huge companies such as SM and YG or just companies that are known to have issues with idols “debt”/ money like TS ent. I bring up SM and YG because these two companies have inside producers as well and don’t really give idols a say a lot when it comes to being creative with their music despite most of their idols wanting to be involved. Same with the choreography, then we have companies like TS ent who have issues with paying their idols barely anything and basically robbing their idols of their money. But then we have huge companies like again SM and YG that probably and most likely do have a financial/ accounting department with in their company to keep track of everything However there are also companies that don’t match these areas. Such as Cube and PLEDIS whom allow their artist the creative freedom while having a set producer. PLEDIS has bumzu but yet nuest members, woozi, yehana and Sungyeon do their own music. I’m not sure if Cube has a set producer tho. But cube is big enough to have a financial department. And PLEDIS is just starting expand and starting to hire ; they recently opened up a lot of positions up for hire.
i would love more videos about this field! i’ve always been interested in the entertainment industry and hope to work as a writer or part of some creative branch there, so more videos about what i can do in the industry as a whole, especially as a foreigner, would be really helpful
Interesting video! I'm currently planning on teaching English in Korea or doing translating work there. How hard do you think it would be to get a job as a translator or even an English teacher in an ent. company? 😊😊
How about dorm life? I always wondered do the idols stay in a separate building like an apartment and have their own floor or something? Like for example, the NCT 127 members say that half the group lives on the 5th floor and half lives on the 10th and it makes me wonder do trainees or other groups/members live in different floors or an entirely different building overall.
Guys if you dont know what to do, go to a media school in university. Get a Media & communications studies aka mass comm degree. It teach you varieties of skill you need in this field. You will learn PR, Videography, and even management and planning for this job. Of you dont know at least you can get into marketing too or become a communication researcher
Regarding the companies, some questions I still have are related to how they manage intellectual property. In other words, if possible, I would like to know how do they usually split the income from intellectual property (songs, lyrics, videos, etc) among the participants (producers, lyricists, actors, singers, etc) and how do they deal with the risks of plagiarism and copyright infringement. As for this second matter, I know that some big companies (in general, in any kind of business), when it comes to intellectual property (mainly patents), they usually take it very serious and have specialized people doing intensive patent search before registering and launching anything in the market. How does it work for the entertainment industry in South Korea?
Ive always been curious and fascinated on how video editors/ videographers in korea create their amazing music videos/ concept videos. Since I'm into videography, photography, and video editing, if i ever had the opportunity, I would like to work there someday.
@@patriciawilkin1258 obviously that play a part in it. But she has almost a photocopy face similar to chaungha but a resemblance Jisoo. Not all Korean look the same from each other , so it’s not “just she’s Korean.”
Hi. I want to know if you can talk about what companys do with the mv. They have an audiovisual production team or they work people outside the companys?. I love your videos. Sending you lots of love from Argentina 😍
My dream is to become a hair and Make up stylist in Korea and I'm in my 1 year on my way and I have 5 more to go bc I'm in Hair stylist training now for 3 years and then learning Make up artist for another 3 years and I wanna learn korean beside these trainee years so hope i can become one😂😍
What does a stylist job require? I mean in terms of college degrees or something like that. By the way, I am a foreigner. Do they agree to employ foreigners as stylist
I used to want to be a manager until I learned that they need a strong spirit because they’re often looked down on. Especially the road managers. And knowing myself, I wouldn’t be able to take that..
I'm more interested into the creative side of the concepts the idol groups come up with. Like Lumpens take care of the Visual Production for most of BTS MVs... And such
What degrees would you need to have a chance at getting into an entertainment company? Do they tend to accept people who went to a college or university in Korea more than in a foreign place?
Go to website of the company , like below music video ther are two websites , one is of group and one is of company , go to company website , go to 3 dots on upper side , and go in careers option , search for manager , and select th post , they will show you what they expect and work ethics and qualifications they need , if u have them u can apply and send ur documents . Some will select random profiles without looking at them to avoid partialoty of gender and nationality and looks ,once they select they will look the profile , if they like they will call for interview and u have to pass some rounds , if u fail in random selection or any other round they will again do random selection , they do this tell they get the one , without looking at profile during random selection . Once they get one , they will cancel all other applications that came as they don't see profile in random selection if they are not selected during that. And some will see ur profile and then call for interview . The random hiring has less chances of getting selected but it's to eliminate partiality by gender and nationality . U can know more about it in Google 😉 . If u get selected in random selection , u will be really lucky ❤️
I think entertainment companies also have siber security experts who able to give them high level IT solutions and give siber safety Protects its website from The enemy (hackers or data Thief) . But for that, May be they kept a foreigner who knows well Korean because there's channel ( RU-vid and Instagram and Twitter...etc.) and website are running globally.
I know this video is from 4 years ago but I want to ask for your opinion. I want to be a road manager but like you said, it's hard and you don't get paid as well as a PR manager. I mean, I love helping people and I really want to be a road manager but maybe it doesn't worth it. What do you think I should do? Of course I may change my thought in years but I want to know if I should be learning for being a manager or not. Just to don't waste time in unnecessary things.
Thank you for your videos! Do you have advice for the online audition? I take vocal lessons since last year and i'min holiday. I really wanna try even if it's hard just to be noticed...
it doesn't surprise me idol insider receives criticism. people on the internet will downvote their own mother if she crossed the screen they hide behind.
First of all thank you for your videos, they're really entertaining and i find myself always learning something new from them! I have a question, do idols always have to go around with security guards? or they can even hang out by them selves or with friends?
One of the advantage of having their own music production is that if they want their artist to record something on the spot then they just can call the group to visit to company to record. Just like TREASURE 13 of YG. They always went to the company then left after like several minutes.
You helped me so much!!! Thank you! I followed you because you deserve it🤗 I'm 13 years old but I really wanna be a make-up artist or stylist even though it's really early I believe, but I want to be ready and know what to do as a jib when I grow up so yeah... Thank you!😙❤ Umm question now, managers are like security guards or something like that? Like when idols are in the airport and there are sasaengs, people that are protecting the idols are the managers or just security guards? And something else😂: Which is the best company to work (as a stylist or makeup artist)?
Hey @soobeanie_! Thank you so much for this video :') I've always wondered... SM has the rights to a lot of songs made by songwriters/producers from overseas. Do you know what platform SM uses to find new songs and buy them?
hi I really like your videos^^ And sorry what about photography? I mean being a kpop company's photographer can you talk about it it's really necessary for me❤️ Sorry and thank you again🙏
Literally I'm tired of my life, my grades are bad and my parents are poor so even if I want to move to korea it's gonna be impossible, I feel like i'm destined to be always poor no matter how hard i try
A question: do entertainment companies hire like physiotherapists etc for their idols? Or if there’s an issue do they just call up a nearby physio/chiro etc?
Thank you for this interesting video! I do like it so much. Finally, I know that there are also language teachers needed! How do you think what are the requirements, and where or whom should I apply to?
Hi, i just wanted to know if foreigners allowed to work multiple jobs there. Example i have a contract there from a private employer then i work as a freelance makeup artist would that be fine? Some people misunderstood my passion for makeup they thought im only after kpop idols when its not. I really love to work backstage specially fashion runaway photoshoots etc. As a foreigner i heard there is a license for makeup artist. If i pass that licensure wouldn't be that a conflict from my fix job? Thank you~
