Former SM Trainee and Almost SNSD Member Stella Kim talks about Kpop Industry and Trainee Days

[krieshook]

Everyone is talking about how she wasted an opportunity of becoming an snsd member but is ANYBODY LISTENING TO WHAT SHE SAID. This wonderful person right here developed an eating disorder because of what she went through. Her parents SAVED her. She even talks about how much better she got after it was all over. Idk why ppl still cant see the bad side too

[dallak]

Unrelated, but I would listen to her talk all day. Her voice and pronounciation is so pleasant.
I think Sooyoung's still in touch with her but I kinda wish more former trainees talk to her. She seems like she'd be a great support for them.

She's supposed to be the visual of snsd. So pretty

[marionkim]

I'm so glad that she's successful in her own way. She now works in New York City as beauty marketer in global company and has done vacation to multiple countries. I hope she's happy forever.

She was supposed to be visual line alongside Yoona and Jessica.. Her face is really stunning I cant imagine if she and yoona standing side by side I think I will die beautifully

Wow, it has to be so hard to want to debut after 4-5 years of training but having parents who don‘t want to sign the contract. And seeing the group you were supposed to debut with doing so great.

Lol i remember her back before SNSD debuted, there was so much hype behind her and jessica. They were like the most famous trainees.

[memoiredemomo]

Oh my god, it's horrible that trainees have to go through this :/ especially sm trainees. Like dude SM is the harshest entertainment company

[shodim]

Her voice is so good i love her whole personality

[maddie-rque]

i hate people who bash others for their weight. like, you could have a bunch of muscle, that makes you look fit and lean, and at the same time weigh 170-180. i think what some women in korea and some other countries don't get is that being healthy is 101% more important than being a "standard weight" of 106 lbs at 25.

When you hear her story, now i'm wondering what happen to the SNSD members before her debut. No wonder they're stick thin. It must've been both physically and mentally draining especially for those teenage girls

[glimpseofparadise]

You're great, just the way you are! :) You're a smart lady for stepping out off the box. You should have told those girls to back off. You're here cuz you're standing out! Really...

[imisskyuhyun]

So calm and so pretty! This testimony is inspiring! 💜

[zarnasshi]

I just fell in love with her. She is really strong, beautiful and lovely.

[ericccc]

Being idol is definitely not an easy road. It's heartbreaking esp when it's not paid off after you debuted
Stella must've been heartbroken that time, 4-5 years is not a short time

[princeboodle]

What's wrong with camera man. Keeps shifting angles and focus. STOP

[StClair-wfvk]

it just sad how she moved back in state to move on and yet kpop still hunts her... thankfully she'd overcome all does struggle the kpop industry made.

[krrk]

Part of the reason is that she came from a wealthy family so they thought she had better choice than being a kpop star and in a brutal industry as she said. It's so tough and needs so much determination to go through, which made me appreciate more about Tiffany because she was basically the same, came far way from home to do the same thing and went through of all that. However, there is no right or wrong on this. Stella was expected to be the center of SNSD which she could have been the biggest kpop diva of all time OR she could not have handled the fame, critics, haters and then turned out to be a disaster for the whole group.

You are such a wonderful woman! God bless you, my dear 😘

In my opinion every company WAS like this. Nowadays I think it changed a little bit. There was this other former sm trainee girl video and she said almost the opposite of this. What I'm trying to say is that there is no perfect company. Every single one of them have a disadvantage. SM is my most favorite company so it breaks my heart seeing comments like this.
