I've been noticing that in SK they do that with training their artists before they officially release them, is that like always? or just with certain acts? i kinda like that. they try to spare us from the tragic performances, so considerate  |
Yes. It's called idol industry. The companies (like Interscope, Capitol) have training centers where very young trainees have lessons of singing, dancing, languages, and even how to behave in variety shows and interviews. Then, these entertainment companies form groups, give them songs, choreography (which they practice for months) and debut them in the market. It's important to notice that, unlike western labels, these k-pop companies have full control over everything, from the music to the concept of every album to the concerts.
The 2 top k-pop companies and a few of their acts:
SM: Girls' Generation (a.k.a. SNSD, top girl group), TVXQ, f(x), EXO, SHINee, Red Velvet
YG: BIGBANG (top boy group), 2NE1, WINNER, Lee Hi, Akdong Musician
