Trainees are so important because the future of Kpop relies on trainees to become the groups fans love and grow with over time. It all starts with a dream and a will to succeed.
In collaboration with Kpop Trainee Find, we have put together a series of articles featuring Kpop idol hopefuls! Kpop Trainee Find's goal is to bring Kpop fans' awareness to people of various nationalities and skill levels who are working hard to become Kpop idols so that the fans can become a source of support and encourage them on their journey to achieve their dream.
You can meet more of these trainees through Kpop Trainee Find's Instagram and Twitter pages.
