Former Wonder Girls member Sunmi takes first place on Inkigayo without appearing on the show...BoA and former Miss A member Suzy make a comeback
Last year was the year that the K-POP boom returned.
With this momentum, the music stage is becoming lively.
The activities of female solo singers are attracting attention.
Needless to say, Sunmi (formerly of Wonder Girls) is currently at the forefront.
Since last summer, Sunmi's activities and popularity have continued.
This week, Sunmi took first place on a music show without even appearing.
To take first place without appearing on a music stage is the air of a big-name group or big-name solo singer.
There is a possibility that she will continue to be a successful solo singer.
Among the members of popular girl groups, there must be some who feel this way.
This is, of course, a good thing, and it is an achievement for those who follow in the sense that they have paved the way.
Because K-pop is becoming popular globally, many people may think that it is easy to become a K-pop singer.
However, the path to becoming a singer who can make a living by singing is highly competitive in any country.
However, in K-pop, there is the path of becoming a K-pop idol, which is a preliminary step to becoming a singer.
Taeyeon of Girls' Generation and Sunmi of former Wonder Girls, who have made a name for themselves, both debuted as trainees.
Both made their debuts after going through competition at agencies with many trainees, such as SM Entertainment and JYP.
Among them, Taeyeon debuted as an elite trainee and the leader of Girls' Generation.
She debuted as an additional member, but was unable to go to the US due to family reasons, so she left the group and returned to Wonder Girls while helping with her family's livelihood.
From there, Sunmi achieved the success she is today.
Because K-POP is popular globally (it has been able to debut many groups), the barriers to entry are relatively wide.
The minimum requirements are to be good at singing (to be able to sing), good at dancing (to be able to dance), and to have suitable beauty and looks (face and style).
Entertainment agencies accept trainees at their own rate.
The more competition there is for trainees at an agency, the more likely they are to send out members with the right qualities and effort into the world.
It may seem easy to become an idol.
But it's no different from anywhere else.
