Get to know about K-pop; what make K-pop singers successful


In present time, K-pop wave has spread worldwide and has power over a lot of teenagers including me. As I have been into K-pop for over 6 years, in this section I would like to explain my points of view about what make K-pop singers successful for the past few years. I divide my opinion into 4 points which are; they have been training for a long time before debut to have good performance, everyone in a group has their own position, they have very good looking, harmony between members.

First, they have been training for a long time before debut to have good performance. Training system in South Korean Entertainment Company is very tough; you have to start at a young age. Firstly, you have to get casting by the company, maybe from the contest or someone from the company meet you on the street and give you the name card, and then you enter the audition. If you pass, you will get a contract to start training. According to this article, those kids who are trainees will receive lessons in singing, dancing, music instruments, speaking in public, and language. After that, when the company has a new project of girl group or boy band to debut, the company will choose members among trainees. So if you’re very good, you will get a chance to become a singer, or else you have to continue training (the longest training period that I know is 7 years). 
In Summary, according to this tough training system, you can see that K-pop singers have a very good performance; they dance like they are the same person.

Here's the example of a good performance.


Second,  everyone in a group has their own position. In one group, usually there are more than 3 people, so they all have their main role. I provide them into 5 points.
  • Leader, as I explain that there are many people in one group, so the leader will be the one who answer most of the questions when it comes to the interview or on TV programs. 
  • Main vocal, mostly is the one (or up to 3 in some groups) who has good voice, great singing skills, and get most of the part to sing. 
  • Rapper which is the one who is really easy to recognize because they have their own rap part, mostly in the middle of the song. 
  • Main dancer, every group has main dancer. In my opinion, K-pop group seem to focus on dancing more than singing. So, the main dancer will be the person who has very strong and talented dancing skills which mostly dance in the center.
  • Center or image, mostly this person has the best looking in the group. The center always stands in the middle because when you look at the whole picture, usually the first thing you look is straight to the center and this per son will make the whole group looks great.
In summary, everyone in a group has their own position to make it easily to recognize when it comes to the group that has numbers of members.

Third, K-pop singers have a very good looking. As you might have heard that South Korea is very famous for plastic surgery, so some of K-pop singers have got some plastic surgery as well, but there are also some of them that have natural beauty.
Having plastic surgery might help them to have more confident and more attractive. In my opinion, mostly they get nose jobs and double eyelids, but other than that, make up techniques nowadays can fix some of the problems that they may have.
Here is an example of K-pop singer who admit that she has got some plastic surgery; Kara's Goo Hara

In summary, K-pop singers have a very good looking in order to attract the audiences. However, it doesn't matter that they had got plastic surgery or not because they all had to work hard as trainees before become real singers.


Last, harmony between members.
Because they have many people in one group, so they all live together in a dormitory which makes it easier to travel from place to place when they have group schedule. Also, most of the members know each other since they were trainees, so they are very close. Almost every time when K-pop group win in a music show, some of them will cry because they all have worked very hard and shared both good and bad moments together.

In summary, harmony between members is the way to help them to have a good team work and become successful.


In conclusion, I provide my 4 points of view that make K-pop singers successful which are; they have been training for a long time before debut to have good performanceeveryone in a group has their own positionthey have very good lookingharmony between members
Please note that those are my own opinion, from what I see, what I read. Feel free to share thoughts in the comment box.
