K-pop idols are trained by entertainment companies after successful auditions. Training includes singing, dancing, media training, and language instruction, often taking years with no guarantee of placement in a group or as a solo performer. In the K-pop industry, trainees and artists are expected to uphold high standards of K-pop etiquette, including maintaining a “clean” image.
