sm having good eyes for trainees. all their idols are so much talented. Even tho ure not good when scouted they will really train u to be an amazing idol with good talents at debut. They really produce the best trainees especially in vocals
The thing is, SM scouts won't tell ppl which company they're from and will only pursue you until you decided to accept their offer and audition to SM. That's why all of them thought they're scam 🤣.
Lmao ikr. They also behave like creeps and remember that time when taeyong told he thought they were scam but then they gave him bread and he thought they were good people lol
SM takes the crown here for having eyes for the potential in young people and visuals. And for their determination and verY strange methods of recruiting them. How much effort they put in it sometimes is really funny. But in the end it is always worth it. SM does really havr an eye for hidden potential. And they really do fight for them to join their agency. Besides from the trainees above, others eith very funny stories about being casted are Exo's Sehun, NCT's Winwin, Kun, Chenle, Jaemin, Shinee's Minho, TVXQ's Changmin and Aespa's Ningning. And these are just the most funny and extreme ones. They have casted sooooo many talented and hidden gems. They really know how to find future stars😂
Hybe won't support Minju acting career. Let me explain If Minju will join Hybe she will be under source music, knowing source music didn't really support the acting career. They didn't give GFriend a big support on that part. Specially EUNHA who also a child actress in her young age. When she join sourmu does acting skill never showed again. YERIN also do acting while she's under SOUMU but only in short time. When GFriend dsband YERIN and SOWON have back and forth schedule for acting and more schedule for other member. That SOUMU didn't get for them while GFriend still in their company. In short SOUMU didn't really support acting career for their artist. Unlike pledis ENT. They support their artist to do acting career and so on. If Minju really signed to Hybe hope Hybe acting contract to Minju is approved by them..
Taeil and Taeyong are actually very interesting and funny, but I grew fond on Taeil's story, i thought if he wasn't being an idol, he'll definitely being as great music producer as his desire on further his study in Hanyang University..
yg is really fond of jyp trainees first Lily M , ryujin , changbin , han also when park yejin was jyp trainee she was really famous and also resembles nayeon like they would both pass as cousin sisters lol after she left JYP after itzy debuted YG quickly took her in too also i think hanseol also was hired by YG after she left JYP ent not only this YG said they want to make a group like Twice in kpop star to which knets were angry cause at that time rumour of him mistreating 2ne1 was widespread and Minzy was rumoured to left 2ne1 too also Sakura , who doesnt want her ? minjoo she is just a shining jackpot lol
YG never mentioned TWICE in his whole life. I think you meant Girls' Generation. YG said he wanted to debut a girl group inspired by Girls' Generation.
i suddenly remember ryujin's audition on mixnine, damn the first time i layed my eyes on her i know she will be a big star and look where she is now 💖💖🙄
If I was being recruited by YG or SM it would be really hard for me to choose. Like seriously SM is literally the home of vocals and YG is the home of Rappers style and swag and thing is I love both. Like I’m sure if SM knew about ROSÉ she’d be in SM for sure Like YG really got lucky and I literally can see Mark and Taeyong in YG. I’d have a hard time choosing for sure for sure
You won't believe me when I saw the title of the vdo, the 1st name came to my mind was Yoon Jaehyuk of TREASURE...He was casted by JYP, SM, Woolim, Cube ,Yehua, Pledis and turned down YG twice before joining...He is our King of street casting Edit:He recently confirmed he was casted by bighit along with all of the above.
When I first saw ryujin I was new to Kpop but my gut told me she had the pretty smile and killer dance move she gonna get a big money contract and be really hard to sign
Literally all of TXT. Soobin put the wrong phone number down, so the staff spent months tracking him down. Taehyun got multiple offers from many companies that would line up outside of his school. Similar for Beomgyu. For him, the BigHit scout even offered to come back the next day (since he had an exam) and personally drive him to Seoul for the audition.
if i were scouted by sm i would definitely accept it even tho prolly i dont like the way they handle idols. I would just let myself be trained to achieve the sm training and leave if u have no chnace at debut. Companies would literally hunt u down if ure known to be an sm trainee. Plus all these new gg seems to have the ex sm rookies in the rumored line up and i cant blame yall for wanting sm trainees tbh. And look, chaehyun is the center of kepler an ex sm trainee and isnt jungwon trained in sm for years? look at him now hes the most stable performer from enhypen. Sm dont just debut mediocre idols. They say sm motto is, idols are not born, they are made.
beside Taeil, SM was also difficult scouting Jeno and Chenle because their parents rejected directly on first attempt, but they were still trying, and gladly Jeno wanted to take the opportunity so his mom said yes and trust him, and luckily Chenle's father knew that SM is big company and convinced Chenle to trained, and here we are, we got Jeno and Chenle on NCT DREAM.
Jaehyuk just walking and then he was offered by many agencies including the big three, he didn't even audition even one of them nor show just a little bit of his talent. He's just walking and get the biggest privilege that so unexpected. And now he's a member of treasure after he chooses YG.
Then comes txt... They Litrally searched each member... Here are casting stories if you are interested : Soobin : his is already quite popular yet I will repeat it again. He auditioned via email. And the condition was if you pass audition then you would get call within 2 weeks. But several weeks passed and no call came so he thought he got rejected and went on with his daily life and then suddenly one day he got a call asking him to give second and final audition within a week. He asked why they took 2 months to call and they said its because he gave the wrong phone number so they (staff) searched him for 2 months. So he finally went to give final audition but he didn't had any time to prepare so he messed up a lot and thought he was gonna fail for sure so on his way home he bought 5 ice-creams to eat and feel better... Well guess what he passed Yeonjun : he was active on facebook and he got a dm (or whatever facebook ver. Is called) that he was scouted but he ignored thinking its probably scam. Later that same day he was on subway and a lady sat beside him and asked if he is already in company he said no so she gave him card to join bighit. So he was scouted twice on same day by different people. (fun fact : he was the first one to join among all of txt) Beomgyu : his story is chaos just like him. He was scouted a lot of times by different companies. There were cars lining up to scout him. When he saw that he thought he was in trouble so he quickly ran to his (dad's) car and locked the door but someone knocked the window and they were staff of bighit trying to scout him. But he quickly rejected them by saying that he has exams and he needs to focus on studies. So they finally said to give audition after giving exams and they will personally take him to Seoul for audition. Then on same day staff went back to Seoul and changed schedule a bit and then came back to daegu to fetch him to take him for audition. Well he passed of course and that's how he got into txt. And about how he used to handle other scout managers was by giving them fake names. Eg. Han beomgyu ,Lee beomgyu ect. Just to get them off his back. (fun fact : he was the last to join bighit with least training time and was directly put into debut lineup as soon as he joined) Taehyun : well his story is pretty well known too but still here it goes. He was rumoured to have really good visuals so many companies were already trying to scout him. And one day he got message from unknown number to audition. He asked how they got his number then they replied they got it from his friend. Apparently the staff waited whole day but he didn't came out cause he was playing soccer so they asked one student who was going home about taehyun and luckily that student was his classmate so he had his number and he gave staff his number so that's how they got taehyun's number. his parents were against him becoming an idol but wanted him to study cause he was intelligent student but his sister somehow convinced them and he choose company nearest to his house which is bighit and he joined that company (the old one with blue glass before bts became famous)... But soon after company moved.. (fun fact : he was 2nd to join bighit after yeonjun and had 2nd longest training time) Hueningkai : he used to give audition with his older sister (lea) as a duet. They auditioned for a lot of companies but always failed and they finally decided to audition for one company for last time and they were gonna call quits after that. And they auditioned for that company and got rejected again. But Hyuka managed to leave an really good impression on one of the staff working in that company. That staff soon got a job at bighit and that staff immediately recruited hueningkai in bighit. If you are wondering about what happened to his sister lea, well she also debuted in the girl group named Viva who later disbanded but now you can see her on tiktok.
Idols have mentioned it I'm guessing the channel is owned by more than one person and they watch alot of Korean shows but yeah idols mention alot of these things
For Kim Minjoo situation, I also felt that the negotiation is not completely over. Maybe HYBE asking UW to released the articles so that the attention will not focus on Minjoo anymore so they can negotiate about the contract more peacefully
Urban Works trainees be really stealing eyes over BIG COMPANIES. Before its Kriesha Tiu getting recruited by JYP and YG now, Kim Minju by HYBE. Not to mention they were close friends. Hopefully, Kriesha Tiu gets debuted in a group. She's really underrated despite being an all rounder idol.
nah tbh i think hybe just want to go the easy route of earning ez money by scouting already popular idols like izone. Since they dint have a good gg track record because of glam. Getting the popular idols like sakura, chaewon and minju is prolly a good strategy to get their new gg rise to stardom easily. But i pity those gg trainees of hybe tbh imagine ure debut depends whether on the popular izone member will join or not.
(off topic) nobody's gonna believe me but I once visited korea to take pictures at jyp ent. because im a huge fan of itzy and twice. Then someone scouted me and I left cuz I got scared💀 just left a huge oppurtinity 😔 edit: am i even allowed to say this?😭 that was like 1 yr ago anyway
Even though HYBE is one of the few companies who actually treats their idols like human, I seriously want them to let Minjoo go. She has already expressed that she is not interested in an idol career and that she wants to become an actress. So there is no point in forcing her to sign a contract with the agency to be part of the new gg. Surviving in the industry is already hard, and forcing someone to it will only make it harder.
But Minju needs some exposure in a big name group + company before she can be an actress. Look at Yoona, Suzy, Krystal, etc. Also I have watched her since Produce 48 she has so much potential. Her dancing and singing improved over a short period.
@@cherrylizb Yes it will be better for her career, but her determination and interest in it are the factors that decides the output. In order to be successful idol, you need to be passionate about it and have the desire for it. If you don't love what you do, then it's nothing but a burden. I think that's what is going on with Minju. I would be more that happy to see a talented person like her as part of a girl group from a well known company, but as I said before, that shouldn't happen on force. Hybe can talk to her and convince her to rethink her decision. But if it's crystal clear that she doesn't want it, then Hybe should let her go.
The kim min joo has similar face to a korean actress, their face is really similar, i can’t remember the name but the actress usually play the princess, queen or noble woman in historical dramas or movies. They have identical face
Dahyun was sought after by the Big 3 but only chose JYPE because they're the first one to call her after she passed all three auditions. Talk about if you snooze you lose.
seriously ryujin is famous among army too like everyone been crushing and seeking out for her info that time. still remember when bts highlight reels released the whole army on stan twitter talk about her and other girls a lot...
1. She can sing, dance, act, write and produce music, can slay photoshoots and can do modelling. 2. She can bring sales. She has a HUGE FANBASE. 3. Can we talk about her VISUAL? Perfect. 4. She's a PRO IDOL. She's born to be an IDOL and CENTER material. 5. Very business-minded and optimistic.
@@aliyyahbalogun2686 No, Sakura is more than being popular and pretty. In fact, she has a 10 years experience in this entertainment career, she knows what she's doing and she's improving after all the trainings.
Not sure if it was mentioned in the comments, but Twice's Dahyun passed auditions for all Big 3 companies. She felt JYP was the best fit for her. This was due to her being scouted at a talent show and for her viral "Eagle Dance" from when she was a child. Also, Jeongyeon from Twice auditioned for JYP when she was younger, but did not get in. When she auditioned a second time, she was accepted to both JYP and SM, but she chose JYP. Interestingly, I heard that her sister (actress Gong Seungyeon) also became an SM trainee at the same time, but left when she decided that she wanted to be an actress. In addition, Nayeon from Twice passed the JYP audition twice (lol). When she was a child, she auditioned and got in, but her mother did not allow her to join. When she was older, she snuck off to a JYP audition and got in. This time, her mother relented and let her become a trainee. TL;DR- 3 Twice members also got multiple offers with big companies.
