Best Age for a Kpop Trainee

[Maryyyy]

The fact that over 18 is considered old in the kpop industry is insane. That's around the age I would expect idols to start training

Am I the only one who thinks she's staring into my soul 💀

92 year old me becoming a K-pop trainee: 😃✌️

Edit: Hey guys! I just turned 93 🫶

[hi_hello]

So that's why Chan had to do all these stuff.. it makes sense now

[seungwoolee]

In 2050 the oldest member would be 3 and the youngest will be 5 months old 😂

Listen y'all, no matter how old you are even if you're in your twenties or thirties don't give up! The reason they accept young people or kids is because they want them to take their time in training properly, basically to make them professional in both singing and dancing (which takes years) however if any of you is already talented at both or at one of them then there's a high possibility that they will accept you regardless of the age, two things they mainly search for are *talent* and *visuals*

Yeah many idols nowadays that debuted in their early 20s only trained for a couple of months and that makes sense now. Cuz they joined at an older age so they either had the talent already or progressed super fast. And then they were added onto a group that was already formed like a yr in the working (hasnt debuted yet) but they were looking for 1 or 2 more members specifically that fit a certain criteria that they needed for the group to be whole. Otherwise if they were younger they probs wouldn't have debuted them as fast.

this explains bang chan being asked for the piano and stuff 😂

Thank you for the information I'm looking to audition to be an Idol but I was worried I probably wouldn't get the chance because I'm 19 soon turning 20 but this info brought relief
Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind words it really touched my heart 💗
Second Edit: Y'all, unfortunately, I didn't apply as my normal schedule wouldn't let me squeeze time to audition for a spot as much as I dream of being a kpop idol my schedule doesn't allow me too but thank you all for your encouragement and super kind words on pushing me to audition for a spot but I will maintain my focus on college thank you all so much again 😊 💕

keep in mind: the main reason companies take such young children in is because they can take the time to train them for as long as they need and they can debut them once theyve built up their skills as much as the company needed them to, usually trainees that have been training since they were 13 or under will be at the ideal debut age (for the company) at 16-20. but you can also be 13-18 and have plenty of time to train but if youre in the higher end of the range you should show that you already have your skillset built up to show you wont take too much of their resources and time to develop. if you're 18+ you still have a chance, you just have to have some very developed skills, at least have vocals or dance be very developed and the other skill should be semi developed since we know how weird kpop is about ages. the companies would want older trainees to be able to learn/train quicker. good luck everyone! you're not too old to audition, i do recommend waiting until you're 13 at least to audition though for mental health purposes. dont worry the industry isnt going to leave you behind, shoot ur shots tho!

The fact that 18 years old is considered older trainess

Bro imagine your at school in like 6th grade (for example) and people are like “OMG YOUR MY BIAS!!” Like 😭🤚

[hibak]

I am 21 years old and I got a feeling that I am too old after listening to Kpop. 😢😢😢 I am really sad that I am 21

[chickennerd]

Like baekhyun and kyuhyun, both accepted in SM when they were like about 19 yo, and quickly debuted in Exo and SJ.

[Morataki]

Tyyy! I’m becoming a soloist kpop idol

[niyathisingh]

The way she looks at the camera feels like she’s staring into my soul

[KpopMultiStan]

Bro 18+ would be the normal for trainning (cuz it’s like a job) and nowdays companies debuting minors💀

[sakura-unboxing]

I’m an 11 year old asian girl except I don’t think I have the right visuals. I’ve been thinking about if I want to do this for a long time because of the overworking and extreme diets, but I think I’m going to talk about it a little more with my parents. Thanks for the information!

[sftrubyjanee]

Tysm for the info! I wanted to do the audition to JYP but I didn’t had so many tips to start, but now I do, thank you!
