10 Reasons Why Trainees DON'T DEBUT! 

I love how the Red Velvet plushies always change from Yeri to Wendy, depending on the outfit of the day! Little details like that are so cute

A pro tip as a current trainee I want to give you guys about digital footprint is you can still become a trainee you just have to sneak your way around it first. I have been training for about 4 years now and one thing that prevented me from getting in a lot of places was my digital footprint. Anything you put on the internet can be accessible by these company’s regardless of time it happened. So one thing I did which allowed me to get into my current company are these step by step: 1. Get a business phone number to sign up with. Business phone numbers are free and the reason you want a new separate number is so they cannot link it to any social media accounts you curren,ty have. Same goes with email. Make a new email just for auditions etc. 2. If you do end up getting in one thing is before you become a part of said company they actually get you to go on a few zoom meets and then come to Korea to do a screen test and talk with you etc. So before this happens make sure to go to any social media’s you have and go to comment history and delete everything. Some stuff that is not to bad can stay but I suggest deleting everything, making your account private, or deleting the account all together. Most of my managers said they often will turn people down who have a big online presence bc of future scandals etc. They check your phones when you are there that is why you have to do this. I hope that this helps out some of you and I wish you all luck on your path to becoming idols!

i dont plan to be an kpop idol but ur videos are really helpful for people who do and its really amazing how u spent so much time addressing it, people can really see the effort put into this video!!

qotd: from what i’ve seen and heard recently on why trainees don’t debut is either because of health reasons, they don’t fit the theme of the group or the skill wise option

8:08 Imagine getting kicked out because you're too tall 😭 😭

Your videos really help us a lot especially foreigners like me who want to be a kpop trainee 😇

I think one of the main reasons that trainees dont end up debut is because they dont think they can make it. like there must be so many people who didnt believe in themselves who may have debuted if they did.

I think the most common reason why trainees leave is mostly to do with mental health cuss the training is intense and sometimes the dance coach or sinning coach can be really harsh on you and I think the reason why they are harsh on the trainees is because they want them to succeed but the trainees might not see it like that but I think the most common reason why they leave is mental health. And I don’t think height is a reason why they get kicked out cuss there are groups now with members that a tall and short and also one of the seventeen members is short

Even tho I cannot afford ur Patreon you've helped me a lot! Your RU-vid videos are sooo helpful and informative! Tbh i can't wait to turn 18 so i can actually subscribe to ur Patreon

I've been waiting for this video since the shorts video was released! SO excited to watch!~

I like what you said on trainees ages being a factor in their debut. Also I think they put Tanaka Koki on Loud, not thinking that he would be in the debut group and he surprisingly made it to the final round.

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!! I think it's because some trainees join too late and a group just Debuted , which means they have to train for 5-6 years. Some trainees will eventually get tired of it, and either leave, or do lazy job with training.

0:49 the 28 reasons sneak LOL once a luvie, forever a luvie

Thank you so much for putting lots of hard work into the videos it really helps me because I'm going to audition for Kpop.

I think emotional maturity would have to be a major reason. Members will have to deal with the public (good and bad), other members, staff, stress, isolation, long-hours, public speaking, etc and I think its a lot to expect a 15 year old to have the maturity to handle it.

4:34 I feel like #5 is more common than often just because gaining a visa in any country is quite difficult...

Btw now that I'm thinking about it since you have monthly evaluations (for the concept thing) try another concept each time so that the company knows you will fit every concept well

Hey luvie you are amazing , i really do appreciate your videos. 💜

Your videos are really helpful !!! Thank you for sharing all of this information Btw, I love the Red Velvet plushies

9:21 for the qotd, I think it's the skill or health one! it's fair for both the company and the trainee

For everyone calling JYP the best company, reconsider that choice with silly rules like these 8:23

Ooo thanks for the information. Please make more audition video 💜

I'm so excited eeee

Omg U Look so pretty in the thumbnail

Great video☺

can i be a idol if i have some scars on my back

Hi Irene could you please make a video about if we're supposed to post pictures/ have a social media if we want to become trainees ?

Hi Irene! Im on a throw away account rn to avoid anything, but i have a question. (Kind of related to the video but kind of not haha) So, I’m interested in Korean culture. And yeah, it did spark because of Kpop and Kdramas due to my love for being onstage/behind camera, and I do want to become a kpop idol. But as I dove into the culture a tad bit more, im genuinely interested in the culture itself and not just the entertainment there. Im interested in the food, the language(which I am now trying to learn) the economy, the society, etc. In one of my classes, we are studying different cultures and making food for that culture to share w/ the class. I chose Korea, and i admit, i do ask about Korea a lot in that class because im interested in it. These girls in my class are saying behind my back “omg shes obsessed with Korea, like what the heck? She isnt even Korean. Thats racist/unhealthy/weird.” One of the girls is Korean, so i was kinda sad that i was seen as trying to offend them although i am genuinely interested. So, what im asking is, am I being rude/offensive/culture appropriating/obsessed? Thank you for your videos :)

I think the trainees training is very hard because i see in some videos is this true

I think it can also be visuals, but they can be two types of reasons related to visuals:- the visual of the trainee doesn't fit the group's concept(ik, u stated this earlier as well but I m just highlighting the visuals part) and maybe like if in the group's final debut line-up, all the trainees are like 'beautiful' and one of them is like 'ugly' (not rly, but like maybe not fitting the kbs) so they might get kicked out. But then again, this depends on the company cuz like I have heard about jyp not paying attention to visuals but paying most attention to their talents. so uhm yeaaaa- sorry for it to be that long....., correct me if I'm wrong thooooo

I think they mostly don’t début because of their looks.Like you said if they are too tall or too short,or chubby or if they don’t fit the Korean beauty standards.

Hey I want a video on (what kind of condition you have to pay back the company)

If a trainee who is talented and fit in company's theme for new group but she/he is not korean or doesn't fit in Korean beauty standard . Will company eliminate or debut them?

I was waiting for 2 bays I can't wait more ☺️

By kicked out, do you mean getting kicked out of the company? Does this happen in every case or is it possible for a trainee to not debute while some others do and they just continue their training?

But can I know the concept before so I know to show them my look in the concept?

7:37 so true! it probably just hurt the boy's feelings anyway...

Let's assume that you apply for one of the auditions and you have been accepted .. Then what would happen exactly I mean you will go to south Korea and you are gonna be a trainee for 4 or 5 years at least and then you don't know if you are gonna be debt or not Let's assume that didn't pass and you were eliminated What will happen after this Your will go back to your country or stay there and work and your whole 5 years of training were a waste of time or what Please can you answer this question I really need an answer

For the trainees that don't end up debuting but complete their contracts or in the case when the company removes them or the trainee is eliminated, In these both cases do the trainees still have to pay their debts?

For the height, for example, CLASS:y's size difference between Riwon (156cm) and Jimin (172cm) is actually big, I think it depends on the company ;-;

Hey I have a doubt....how does a kpop group form?. I mean does the company decide it or the trainees can make choices on their own? If the company decides it then on what basis the company will create the group?

how do they choose solo artists

I'm somewhat between 151cm to 153cm (I'm 15) and now I'm really nervous to audition 🥲 i think I'm not gonna get selected(?)

What visa can we look for when we are accepted to become a trainee?

So, if I'm commenting on Luvie's RU-vid channel rn, and if I get into one of the companies, the company will notice this comment in the future 🤔😶‍🌫️

If I get accepted as a trainee should I delete my social media account even if it’s private

Do they tell the trainees what they’re looking for

wanted to ask if it is compulsory to dance or i can chose between dancing and singing

Hey Luvie Irane. I am from Uzbekistan and I am wondering if kpop agencies like HYBE accept me or not. I can sing not great but good, i can rap as well, i can dance and freestyle a little plus I am a beatmaker, music producer. To show all my talents, how can i have an audition

I wanted be idol like i knew that their live is not that good and interesting so now i dont really want to be idol but i want to be translator in Korea in kpop companys :)

I love your videos so much, I really want to take you course but dont have the money.

If I will be a k pop idol all credits to YOU !! ❤❤❤❤

Am going to audition for all the current companies taking audition but I mostly wanna be in hype entertainment

8:10 pentagon members vs. Jinho

Trainee A I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THEM 😭😭😭

Well, I guess the most realistic reason that a trainee can't debut is probably the difference between skills between the trainee and it's group...

Hiee i'm 20 yr can I be K-pop Idol plzz tell me I want to be a K-pop Idol 🥺🥺

How do you even know these stuff?? Anyways thanks you soo much for working this hard for us to know every single detail about debuting⭐✨

If you have bulling on your record but it wasn’t your fault and you got blamed for something that you didn’t do, would you be able to explain or would you still not debut?

Hey Irene I have a Question🤔 Can I make a freestyle video for the online Audition or is freestyle just for zoom Audition good?

Heyoo.... Can you do a video on the What type of concept the agency wants means like any 5 agency if u r fine with it can u do it... Pleaseee

I thought height was pretty realistic just for looks but also costume designs will need to be modified and same with choreography but maybe if they debuted a tall person in a group with short/average height ppl then the tall person would be iconic and fans would love it but who knowd

actually I am still not clear about my 2nd and 3rd question also if we are like training so will they provide veg food cause like my id tell you I am a pure veggie person so yeah can you clear that too

If she is older like 24 or 25 then she didn't debut??? Or she can ?

im really short and i wanna become an idol how can i get taller

ayo! should u mention in the introduction video if ur good at school? i mean, is it like a good thing in korea so they may make in their heads a good image of u? sorry for the long message ahah

Wel I’m lucky cus I’m only child ( stil want a sister or brother 😢)

Her: it’s probably not Me: ya that’s what I thought it sounds way to Her: High Me: *wait wut*

if you upload videos of you dancing or watch others explanation Or dance etc videos will that be a mistake you make when it comes to digital footprints?

Unnie now when you go your next k-pop audition i wish you and me are in a group i wish

How do trainees know what concept the company is looking for...does the company tell them or do they just not know?

I have Auto immune health issues that have gotten better and I can keep up now, but do u think a company wouldent exept me as a trainee because of my health?! thank u so much for ur vidios there really helpfull 🖤

Hello Irene! I just want to ask you about flight tickets. If we live in a different country and pass, does the company pay for us, or do we pay it ourselves?
