of a kpop idol explained by a kpop idol this looks

really cute like i i'm not really sure who this is

but this looks really cute for some reason i don't know let's let's give it a view

so you're probably wondering what is it really like to live

as a kpop idol as a kid i did too

so i flew to korea became one

and now i am here to spill all the tea it's crazy that you could just do that just

This guy just did that.

He just decided, let me go to Korea and become a K-pop star. From Ghost9?

Ooh.

The thing is that I feel like being a K-pop star is very hard and very tiresome.

Like, I think that the reality of it is that you got to do choreography.

You got to, like, work on the music all the time.

You got to do everything that's related to fitness and your health.

And then you gotta deal with like avoiding a lot of like crowds

and stuff like that and this attendance

that attendance I think there's a lot of things going on a very very hectic life Also,

how you doing wolf welcome welcome Welcome up cuz I'm back to yap again Yap, Yap In the last video I briefly explained how life was

as a kpop trainee You don't have to watch it You do get to retire at 30?

That is a good one yeah Hi subbugs, hi rattles Go watch it

So I was placed in the debut lineup

and back then our company's wallet was kind of thick They

even wanted to send us to train in the States for

a couple of months as kpop had always taken inspiration from American culture But then COVID happened, you know, the pandemic that halted the world for three years

and is now an excuse for why your mental age doesn't match your actual one Plans got cancelled, our debut got delayed On top of

that I had to fly back to Thailand a couple of times for visa issues Quarantine was mandatory in both countries, so I ended up missing nearly three months of practice I

remember the first time I listened to our debut album in my hotel room

And they told me to record myself practicing the whole song

So there I was jamming away at 3 a.m

and the front desk had to call me and tell me to shut up Typically, preparing for a kpop album can take two to six months,

but here we always did everything within a month-ish I don't know why.

We usually record our songs and learn choreo just a week

or two before the MV shoot The music video

and jacket photos would take two to three days and a couple of weeks later Boom everything would be released.

That is crazy fast.

A couple of months before we were told our group name

Ghost 9 aka Ghost 9 Our concept director was into spooky things and Ghostbusters.

Um Everyone definitely loved that name.

Our group concept was set to be dark EDM music

And it was also paired up with a lore that is now dead.

Very on brand.

One unique thing about cable is that groups often have lures to spice things up.

Even if you're- I'm looking, I never heard of Ghost9 before.

They have 31,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

So I don't know, like are they, like did they have like a phase where they were really popular?

One of our fans, a ghosty.

That's the greatest.

That's our favorite name, Q.

Right.

I know.

Anyways, even if you're a ghosty, chances are you probably don't know our lore because we never really marketed it that well.

So let me briefly explain our concept lore.

TLDR GLEES So each one of our members has a spirit soulmate called the Glees.

Mine was this cute little emoji thing.

These spirit creatures supposedly live within the Earth's crust

and our lore basically revolves around them coming up to meet us and we all embark on a magical journey.

I actually liked our concept but it has now long been ghosted.

September 23rd, 2020.

We debuted with our first mini album pre-episode 1, Door, with our title track, Think of Dawn.

Since we couldn't perform with a live audience because of COVID, our company took this as an opportunity and Debutted us on top of a skyscraper.

Oh my god.

I think our company was pretty loaded.

Wait, that's kinda cool.

Where do you know how the money go?

Very suspicious, very suspicious.

Performing during COVID was definitely something else.

Imagine being a performer with no audience to perform for.

COVID brought huge changes to kpop culture, one being online performances.

Now things might look good on screen, but behind the scenes, we're in an empty room doing egg-yo to the camera.

And then we locked eyes with the cameraman who really does look like he needs some coffee.

A lot of times it was pretty awkward.

Fan signs disappeared for a while and that was the birth of fan calls.

I love fan calls.

It's a chance to meet not just the Korean fans but also overseas ones that wouldn't have made it in person.

We'd sit in a row, staff would hand us one phone at a time as we interacted with the fans.

Now fan calls aren't cheap so when someone asks me to do aegyo, I personally don't mind.

Also because I look so cute.

Adorable.

One question I get asked a lot is, what's the worst film encounter you've ever had?

And as a highly media trained person, I'm gonna say, I had none.

But we all know that is a lie.

In the rare cases where we feel uncomfortable, there are protocols.

We're told to never be the bad guy, signal for help while treating everyone with respect.

But thankfully, we haven't had many bad encounters.

Mm-hmm.

Talking about rules and protocols, let's talk about the rules we had as K-pop idols.

It didn't sound that sure with that.

Mm-hmm.

I don't know.

It's a lot more chill than you would have imagined.

Being in a boy group, we had it much easier than the girls.

Our diet wasn't heavily restricted, and if we kept in shape, our meals were pretty much fair game.

Phones technically banned, but after two years of sneaking in secret phones, we stopped hiding them.

Turns out our staff knew all along, and every time they confiscated one, we just buy another.

Wait, what?

You're banned from having a phone as a K-pop artist?

Eventually, they just gave up.

Dating, drinking, smoking was discouraged, but never officially banned.

They heavily stressed that whatever you do in your private life isn't their business, but don't ever get caught.

100

Although, we weren't allowed to leave our dorms and there were practically no rest days, so there were no opportunities for us to actually cause trouble.

101

The rules were definitely a lot more strict when we were rookies, but we're reaching our fifth anniversary this month and I guess we built more trust as we go.

102

And they started caring less.

103

I think they gave up on us.

104

Now let's talk about makeup and cosmetic procedures.

105

They won't allow me to talk about mine, so I'm keeping everything very vague.

106

In K-pop, lookism is real.

107

K-pop is brutally competitive.

108

And while I don't think you need to be conventionally attractive to be a K-pop idol, it definitely helps.

109

Plastic surgery has become a common practice.

110

And I thought originally, when I brought this up the first time,

111

I remember, I thought that originally every single K-pop artist had to have some form of plastic surgery.

112

if it's a minor one

113

or a large one it doesn't matter it i thought it was looked upon down

114

if you didn't have any plastic surgery

115

so you were essentially forced to have plastic surgery

116

when i brought this up a couple of viewers of mine told me

117

that is not the case at all like that is a complete lie

118

so i i'm not really sure what it what is true

119

or not i hope it's a complete lie company staff would sometimes suggest getting work done

120

but it was never forceful

121

and always just a suggestion we went to the dermatologist once a week to get our skin treated

122

and they also hooked us up with personal trainers every other day to keep us in shape

123

but that was This was all when we had money.

124

And they had hope.

125

And they had hope.

126

Yay!

127

Every day before schedule, we spent two and a half hours at the beauty salon getting our hair and makeup done.

128

I'd imagine it's a lot longer for female idols.

129

The salons were usually the place where we take naps.

130

A lot of times, we would go in looking like zombies and we'd get knocked out unconscious and when we wake up, we became pretty.

131

Amazing.

132

This is what- This ended.

133

Every song release, K-pop idols promote their songs through music shows.

134

Music shows are basically programs hosted by leading broadcast stations, which last around an hour and a half every day of the week.

135

It is an important aspect in making K-pop not only music for the ears, but for the eyes as well.

136

Whenever a group releases new music, we would promote our tracks on these shows for a week to a month.

137

Getting on these shows is all about business relations.

138

Some companies prefer working with only a few exclusive shows, while others try to work with all to increase exposure.

139

Saying this, if your company has weak relations and your team is relatively unknown, it is more difficult to secure a spot on these shows.

140

Companies would constantly try to appeal to these show producers to get their artists in better time slots.

141

Rookies usually start the shows while popular groups and veterans take the ending spots.

142

Let me tell you about the rehearsal process.

143

This is a lot of technical stuff, so try to keep up.

144

You first do the try rehearsals where you mark your performance and test out the floors and microphone settings.

145

Then you wait a bit and move on to camera rehearsals, in which the staff would roll all the cameras while you mark where you have to look at what times.

146

Camera setups are a bit different during each show, but it's usually like this.

147

Three cameras up front, two chimichin, a closed floor camera, sometimes a stage cameraman, a full cam, and several fan cams.

148

When we used to promote a lot, each member had their own designated fan cam, but I've heard it's all done by AI now.

149

Now, spotting camera is a real skill you have to learn.

150

When a camera turns red, it means that one is broadcasting, So it's like a minigame on stage where you try to spot each camera as soon as possible.

151

If your team- It's like a game of whack-a-mole, but instead of you whacking something,

152

you have to perform and try to figure out which camera is active to focus on that to give the best angle.

153

Oh my god.

154

Since a lot of the camera cues, they would actually have to do the rehearsals again

155

and again until you perfect it and the schedule would be delayed and it'll be all your fault.

156

So the question we're all wondering, how much do artists get paid on these shows?

157

I don't think it's a lot.

158

The purpose of these shows is never really about the money but the exposure it gives, so I guess a lot of us could do it for free.

159

As you all may know, Korea's culture revolves heavily around respect, and this reflects immensely in professional settings.

160

All K-pop idols were expected to greet everyone we passed by, regardless of who they are.

161

We would all be taught to say the same thing.

162

We would say hello and introduce which team we're in.

163

For us, we would say, 안녕하세요, 고수 나입니다.

164

As rookies, our company educated us to greet everyone with enthusiasm.

165

Bowing 90 degrees

166

and talking in Soor Dole mi fa soor We don't want to give the wrong impression

167

so we were told to speak in a higher tone to sound more humble, so I'm so adorable

168

But it was honestly pretty much the same as rookies our

169

training never stopped We would go to our schedules from morning till night

170

and when we finish we went straight to our practice room Watch our performance

171

that day and went back to practicing the same song over

172

and over same as when we were trainees They let us go home at 1 a.m.

173

But the difference is that we needed to wake up four hours later for hair and makeup.

174

So yeah, we were always dead tired.

175

See?

176

This is exactly what I imagined.

177

They're just like on and on and on and on for the next thing.

178

This is a very hectic job.

179

Holy.

180

Chances of success weren't that high.

181

So it's pretty understandable why they made us practice that hard.

182

A lot of the time, we would prepare for our next comeback at night.

183

So preserving one's condition physically

184

and mentally is probably one of the most important aspect of

185

the job Now a lot of you guys might have seen me around

186

but have no clue where it belongs

187

So let me explain more about my group Oh my god

188

Ghost 9 Our group has a total of seven mini albums

189

and a few more singles each of our mini albums contain six songs

190

So we have like a whole bunch of songs the first

191

six months in the business We came out with four mini albums as a nine member group.

192

That's four comebacks in a half a year which if you don't know, is pretty a lot.

193

Then two of our members left due to personal reasons, and over the years we slowly released three more mini albums and a couple more singles.

194

Now we're hitting five years and things- things are great, yeah.

195

Anyways, you might be wondering what our music sounds like, and lucky for you, we've dabbled in all sorts of genres, so there's bound to be something that clicks.

196

Here's my recommendations.

197

I don't want to get- I'm streaming right now, And last time I played K-pop music on stream, YouTube gave me a warning.

198

So I'm just gonna skip this part, okay?

199

I'm gonna just skip this part.

200

I bet it's great.

201

I bet it's really good. and stressed.

202

And that's probably my biggest takeaway from K-pop.

203

There's still a bunch of anecdotes that I really want to say, but I don't think I'm allowed to say.

204

So stick around, and someday, maybe I might be able to tell you those stories.

205

Well, thank you for watching!

206

Keep in mind that this is only my personal experience.

207

Every group is gonna go through different stuff.

208

Anyways, feel free to ask more questions about...

209

I don't know, anything you want to know.

210

And maybe I'll come back in another video and answer those questions.

211

Well, yeah, thank you.

212

No, this is exactly what I anticipated and expected.

213

Like, I think that a lot of background questions you have, like how really things are, requirements and stuff like that,

214

will never really get an answer until somebody quits the industry entirely

215

and want to leak it for some reason if they're not banned by some form of contract.

216

But overall, this was a really good video.

217

I thought it was quite nice.

218

What other behind-the-scenes stuff are you looking about?

219

Damn, man, I don't know.

220

Like, I've never heard about this group before, But like this guy looks hella good man We gotta take

221

a look at his like channel Another time like this looks Pretty decent WVideo Love that

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
