So You Want to Be an Idol?
This week on Comeback Corner, we’re asking the ultimate question: so you want to be an idol?
We kick things off with our ‘episodely’ SEVENTEEN bias line update - Mingyu is the CK ambassador of our dreams, Joshua might just be lying to us, CXM subunit feels closer than ever, Zuzu is crying over DK (in a good way… we think), and we’re already missing Hoshi and Woozi (but seriously, who will carry the Horanghae agenda?).
From there, it’s a full dive into the idol pipeline: auditions (online, in-person, and the Big 4 standards - with a shout out to Twice’s Dahyun and her unforgettable stage presence), the brutal trainee life (sleepless nights, endless training, impossible beauty standards, and no guarantee of debut), and the bittersweet reality of actually making it to debut - where success still isn’t promised and scandals can erase everything overnight. We even weigh the pros and cons of choosing a big company versus a smaller one.
And, in true chaotic fashion, we couldn’t end without spoiling our next project: we’re becoming idols on our own terms - training, producing a song, filming an MV, and debuting for real (kind of).
Debut soon. Stay tuned.
