00:00I think the K-pop training process is what makes K-pop so unique because it is as if
00:15an Olympian is training for their competition.
00:19People are going in at like 10 years old, like auditioning for these things.
00:22Just to be prepared for it.
00:23You have to go through a company and they're like, hey, you're not perfect yet, but we'll
00:27get you there.
00:28They have rap classes and they have dance classes and they have vocal classes.
00:32Mannerism classes or language classes.
00:35There's evaluations.
00:36And then they get like a few hours of sleep just for the possible chance to debut.
00:59My name is Shailenka and I'm 18 years old.
01:02My name is Gabriela, but my artist name is Gabi and I'm 19 years old.
01:08We are Black Swan trainees and we are living here at Mr. Yoon's house while we are training.
01:15I started to listen to Black Swan because everyone in Brazil knows Black Swan because
01:20of Lea onni.
01:22Because of her, I started thinking maybe I could be an idol in K-pop and I followed them
01:28on the social medias and from there I knew about the audition.
01:32Today we're beginning a roll cast to find a new member of Black Swan.
01:37We do global auditions since last year.
01:40People send us audition videos and tapes that can show their skills and different songs
01:46and different choreos.
01:50I thought that if Batu onni can make it, why can't I?
01:55So I started K-pop auditions.
02:00I saw that I had passed.
02:03I started to cry.
02:04I was like, oh, I got selected, finally.
02:07I cried at that time.
02:09Oh my God, thank you God for selecting me.
02:19Nice to meet you.
02:20Hi.
02:21Nice to meet you.
02:22Hi.
02:23Hi.
02:24Hi.
02:25How are you?
02:26I'm fine.
02:27At first day, I was like, oh my God, she's so pretty.
02:31Oh my God.
02:33I really thought that we would be great friends and now we are, like, I think she's my best
02:39friend now.
02:45Let's see.
02:46What are you going to eat today?
02:50I'll do some chicken nuggets, maybe.
02:54Currently, Gabi and Surya is living in our headquarter, which is Mr. Yoon's place in
03:04Yangpyeong.
03:05Oh, it's hard and moves.
03:10Most other K-pop companies, they do train their trainees for at least a couple of years,
03:17whereas our company, for Surya and Gabi, their audition process will be total of six
03:24months.
03:25It's been over five months, so Gabi and Surya's final evaluation will be two weeks from today.
03:31They will get to know whether they're going to stay in Korea or pack themselves and leave.
03:38I want to make chicken curry, Indian chicken curry.
03:41But we don't have time.
03:43Yes.
03:45We spend a short period of time to sharpen their skill and make them good idols.
03:50I think the pros is that Black Swan's next album could be released in four months.
04:01But the cons is that six months, it's hard to get to know their personality to see if
04:08they could bear it to become a K-pop idol.
04:11You're only going to eat that, right?
04:13Yeah.
04:14I'm doing diet because Mr. Yoon told me I need to lose weight, and she's doing diet
04:21to gain weight.
04:22Exactly.
04:23It's really difficult to see, like, everyone eating everything that they want, and you
04:30can't.
04:31But it's difficult for her, too, because she needs to eat more than she is used to.
04:36Sometimes I keep throwing up a lot.
04:40When I come from India, my weight was 49.
04:4338!
04:46Almost.
04:47Almost.
04:48So because of my height, I was looking like a stick.
04:51So they gave me a target to achieve up to 53, but I'm 51 now.
04:57But still I can't achieve the 53.
05:01The end point for me is, like, 52 kilograms, but maybe if I became 53, it will be OK, too.
05:11In K-pop, the fans, like, care a lot about the visuals.
05:16So if I don't lose the weight, I will not join the group.
05:20And for sure, like, I already cry a lot, like, feel so pressure about the weight because
05:28every day, every day, like, checking, but I want to be an idol.
05:58Huh?
06:29Wow.
06:35After the whole Europe situation, I just need a break.
06:39I'm home in Jersey to see my family.
06:42I see them maybe once if I'm lucky a year.
06:45So it feels good because I know there, it's unconditional love right there.
06:51I respect all restaurants, but my mom is home-cooked.
06:56She literally is the best cook.
06:59It's because she puts love in the food, you know?
07:02Yeah.
07:06Jessie's one of three.
07:08I am the middle child.
07:10I'm the oldest brother.
07:13And, yeah.
07:16Hey, take it easy.
07:18Get her out of here.
07:20Ouch.
07:27Yeah.
07:43Yeah, I just make sure that when she's here, she's comfortable, she's happy because this is where she should be happy.
07:57I gave up, like, three times in Korea.
08:00I was like, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done of getting criticized for everything.
08:27I went back home.
08:29It was the last time.
08:31And my oldest brother, Eric, he started learning engineering and stuff so that he could kind of get me back into music again.
08:39He didn't want me to give up on my dreams.
08:43So we basically started Studio 221 in our parents' basement to make sure that she was able to work on her craft.
08:51Once a week, let's try to do a song, and it was strictly covers.
08:55Let's try to find her style.
08:57Put a little Jessie sauce on it.
08:59We just wanted to help her gain the confidence back.
09:03And she just never gave up.
09:21Eric, Eric.
09:35Success isn't, like, just money.
09:37It's about doing good things and, like, doing things for people that you love.
09:41My parents, I love them obviously so much.
09:44And so I was like, can I get you guys a house?
09:46And they immediately got this house.
09:49It feels really good to know that I could do this for my parents.
09:54This is actually my first time eating this.
09:56What?
09:57This is good.
10:06This career, it's so hard.
10:10My parents, they're the reasons why I want to work harder because I want them to live a happy life.
10:17Because I don't think I could.
10:22You know, like, yeah.
10:47I can't keep up with the beat.
10:54So before I became a CRAVITY member, I was a trainee for four years.
11:00It's very routine, sort of like the military.
11:03We would train from Monday to Saturday.
11:06You would start practice at 1 and then end at 10 p.m.
11:11We have dance class twice a week, vocal lessons once a week.
11:16And then just on days when we don't have lessons at all, it would be for us to practice.
11:46They told me that they wanted me to come back.
11:49I really wanted to show them that I wanted to come back to STARSHIP.
11:53I would eat one egg a day and hang in there.
11:58It's so hard right now.
12:00For two weeks, I lost about 7kg.
12:03I challenged myself again and came back to STARSHIP.
12:16Being a trainee is about survival.
12:22What motivated me the most was the members.
12:26I think it was the way we cheered each other on and how we interacted with each other.
12:34Wow, is Mario using water?
12:36He's using fire and water.
12:38Wow, it's Kiratina!
12:40It's mine, it's mine!
12:42My family is in L.A.
12:44I actually consider this home.
12:46They're the closest people I have in my life right now.
12:49My eight brothers, my ride or die.
12:52Should we try Woobin's cooking?
12:55I want to try his doenjang jjigae.
12:58It's been a while.
12:59It's been a while.
13:01I think I forgot how to cook.
13:03No, you can do it.
13:13Hello.
13:17You can just leave it in a relaxed state.
13:19Rather than a stiff state.
13:23That's right.
13:24And up, and up, and up.
13:26That's right.
13:28Although I was really relieved when I got the news that I became a CRAVITY member.
13:33We have the other trainees who got the bad news that I became a CRAVITY member.
13:40Who got the bad news that they didn't make it.
13:43And up.
13:46My name is Jiyong.
13:49I'm 19 years old.
13:51I've been dreaming of becoming an idol since I was young.
13:56I've been a trainee since March 2019.
14:02It's been about three to four months.
14:08It's been a long time.
14:10Turn out, push it to the side one more time.
14:12That's right.
14:16Unfortunately, Jiyong is young.
14:19I think he's too young to catch up with the experience of the older members.
14:27The company has a plan for the next team.
14:31I was really happy when Jiyong kept saying that he wanted to practice more and be with the company.
14:38All the CRAVITY members really adore him.
14:41When I heard the news that he decided to stay, I was super proud of him.
14:46He still has a lot of potential in him.
14:49And I have high hopes for this kid.
14:54I usually wake up in the morning, ride my bike, and go to school.
15:00When I go to school, I have to take the subway, so I take about an hour and a half to Cheongdam Station, where the company is, and walk to the company.
15:13So I usually get off work at the last train and go home by the last train.
15:20When I get home, I usually fall asleep around 2 or 3 o'clock.
15:26Because I don't get enough sleep, I sleep a lot at school.
15:32And most of all, I miss my friends.
15:37When they say, Jiyong, let's go, I miss them a lot when I go to work alone.
15:45Hold this for me. Look.
15:51The goal of a KPOP trainee is to make their debut.
15:55But you don't know when the company is actually going to release a group.
16:00So most of the time, trainees would just be training every day with the hopes of making the next group.
16:08Starship has a monthly evaluation once a month.
16:14This monthly evaluation shows what the trainees have practiced for a month.
16:21When there's a little bad result, it can be released.
16:27The company judges us based on our ability and productivity.
16:32The company never has any lingering feelings for us or catches us.
16:38When I didn't make it to the final member of CRAVITY, of course, I was very upset and sad.
16:51But I thought, can I quit this?
16:55But I couldn't. I couldn't give up.
17:02I really want to make my debut, but I want to be more prepared.
17:08I think my next step is to improve my skills so that I'm not ashamed.
17:20CRAVITY's debut song, Black Swan.
17:31Hello.
17:32Hello.
17:33Hello.
17:34Hello.
17:35Hello.
17:36Hello.
17:37I guess the two of them got it right today.
17:40Adding a new member to Black Swan, I'm not really into it.
17:45Because that means we have to start all over again.
17:48Ready, and go.
17:51The thing is, now with the original members, we all worked so hard to get to where we are now.
18:02Like, if we were to add another member, we have to get close to the person.
18:07We have to match each other's energies again.
18:09And it could take up to six months to a year for us to completely match.
18:14Because it took us that long, current members, to really have a solid group.
18:19So, I don't know if I'm ready to go through that all over again.
18:23Five, and a six, and seven, and a...
18:26Once we become Black Swan members,
18:31I think it would be good for us to have someone who is already skilled.
18:40We're here.
18:41Eyes.
18:42That's it.
18:44I told the company that Soria and Gabi need a few more years to make their debut.
18:53That way, they can get good feedback when they're on stage.
18:58Honestly, I think they're in a hurry.
19:01I think they're in a hurry.
19:03I've been working so hard for years to make my debut,
19:07and they're so lucky.
19:10Five, and a six, and seven, and a...
19:13Eight, and...
19:14You guys are fast.
19:15Unlike Gabi and Soria, I was a trainee for one year before I got to debut.
19:22But Black Swan, we've all had different trainee experiences.
19:27What's important here is that there should be a stop, stop, stop.
19:30Stop. Stop.
19:32When I was in the first year of high school,
19:35I joined a dance club for the first time.
19:44Since then, I've wanted to try K-pop.
19:54Judy is really good at performance and dancing,
19:58and she has some good insights about choreography.
20:01And she has charm.
20:19Wow.
20:32It was a very bad company.
20:35So I ran away from the company quickly.
20:39And then I went to another company.
20:41And then I came out again.
20:45I went to a lot of companies, but they were always gone.
20:49So I almost gave up.
20:52I thought it was my last chance because I was 25 years old.
20:58So I auditioned for D.I.
21:00Two and three and a four.
21:03Five and a six and seven and a eight and...
21:12Gabi and Soria, they have a long way to go.
21:15But D.I. tends to pick trainees or members
21:19way quicker than other entertainment companies.
21:24I can kind of understand him because the CEO, Mr. Yoon,
21:27has been doing this for over 20 years.
21:29So he sees it when someone has the thing you need
21:33to be able to do this.
21:35But at the other side,
21:37his goal was always to make like a global group.
21:41Sometimes I feel like, is he just picking that person
21:44because she's from that country?
22:00If he were to pick a member just because she's from a different country,
22:03that'd be pretty bad.

24:36SPEAKS KOREAN
24:48As soon as Baby Vox became so popular in Korea,
24:53all my friends in elementary school, middle school,
24:57they literally loved the fact that I'm a son of my dad.
25:03I was happy because what he does is something very remarkable.
25:09But at the same time, my dad became super busy.
25:13Mostly I could see him once or twice a week.
25:17He didn't have time to come home
25:19and hanging out with his daughter and son a lot.
25:23We lost a lot of time.
25:25That's the thing I regret.
25:28SPEAKS KOREAN
25:36So one of the reasons I wanted to do business with him
25:40is to spend some time with him as well.
25:43But he always said, no way.
25:45And he didn't want me to join.
25:57SPEAKS KOREAN
26:08Every time I was talking with him, he still kind of refused.
26:12But at the same time, I could see he needed some help.
26:16So I decided to join his company
26:19to help him with anything that I could do.
26:23Because I could drive, I could speak some English.
26:26Nowadays we see each other three times a week at least.
26:30So I'm happy for it.

28:12I'm not going to say I'm always happy,
28:16but mostly I'm happy that I made a decision to work with my dad.
28:22I'm not sure about relationship-wise,
28:25but I get to know him much better than I used to.
28:29I'm looking for his approval
28:32that I'm able to take care of this label
28:36so that he can retire soon.
28:39But right now, I don't think I have it.
28:42Yeah.
28:46SPEAKS KOREAN
28:55SPEAKS KOREAN
29:18So how have your Korean classes been going so far?
29:22We had our exam and it went so well,
29:25I didn't expect it to come like this.
29:28I passed, so that's good.
29:30And I know that I'm learning.
29:33They compare us, so, like,
29:35since her test is really higher than mine,
29:39I was like, oh, my God, I did badly.
29:42She really learned faster than me.
29:44She's so good and I admire her,
29:48but the problem is, like, everyone always compares us
29:52and I'm lacking a lot.
29:55I'm doing my best, but it's not enough.
29:59You really need to want to be an artist in K-pop
30:04because it's so difficult.
30:10For me, it's like we need to be shark of the ocean
30:16or fish of the ocean.
30:18We have to be the shark.
30:20Like, I get, but, like, I don't agree with the sentence
30:24because the fish needs to work hard to live.
30:27It's not like that.
30:29It's just, like, it's hard to explain to her.
30:47We're going to do a practice run, ready?
30:49Okay, you got to look at me, okay?
30:51Remember, confidence.
30:53-♪
30:57Lights.
30:59Hey!

31:02Oh, my God, so good!
31:05Oh, my God!

31:53I'm keeping all the good ones.
31:55-♪
32:02-♪
32:17I think what we all hope for for her
32:20is for her to settle down, find someone,
32:23and start a family.
32:32-♪
32:36-♪
32:42-♪
32:49Why are you single right now?
32:53I'm just so focused on my work,
32:56so it's like I don't know how to balance that.
33:00There's definitely a loneliness and a darkness that comes
33:03because, you know, I think right now my happiness
33:06is having a family and wanting a child.
33:30-♪
33:40I want love, like actual love,
33:43but if I settle down, I have to give this up
33:46to a certain extent, my career.
33:50When I go back home in Korea,
33:52I go back to an empty house.
33:55It's so lonely.
33:57I thought this was a pretty dream, but it wasn't.
34:00-♪
34:06-♪
34:12-♪
34:18I'm feeling a little bit sad
34:21and a little bit scared, a little bit nervous.
34:25I needed to improve so many things,
34:28like my facial expressions, my dance, my energy, power,
34:33but I think I improved a lot.
34:37Okay, so today is the last test
34:41before we make a decision,
34:44so try your best.

35:44Okay.
36:03What do you think your results will be?
36:06I don't know.
36:09I'm trying to not think about that because it's ending.
36:15And I don't know.
36:18I really want to pass,
36:20but I don't want to get, like, separate from her.
36:24We were practicing together, living together,
36:27hanging out together, doing everything together,
36:30so emotionally, I'm really attached to her.
36:34I'm really afraid because, like, Shira is really good, too.
36:37I think both of us did really, really, really well.
36:40We improved a lot, and we always, like, help each other.
36:44We always thought, yeah, we can make it together.
36:48Let's work as a team.
36:50And we'll see the results later on.
36:55Fighting.
36:58Ah. Ah. Ah.

37:24Ji-yong has a lot on his mind.
37:26He has a lot on his mind, so he's a little worried.
37:30So I hope he can let it go a little bit
37:33and just stay like that without thinking about anything.
37:43To be honest, I don't think there's any evaluation
37:46that I feel like I'm ready.
37:49Even if I keep practicing like this,
37:51I wish I could stay just one more day.
37:54Hello, I'm 19-year-old Kim Ji-yong.
37:57I'll start singing.

38:37Is this one key?
38:42So far, I've shown a lot of light and cute sides
38:45of myself that I'm not used to.
38:50This time, I prepared a cool and intense stage.
38:55I hope Ji-yong gets feedback
38:59that he's a good dancer.

40:35I think I have a lot of fear now.
40:42Okay. Thank you.
41:05Hello.
41:07Are you nervous?
41:09Yes.
41:11You've been challenging yourself for 6 months.
41:15To become a member of Black Swan.
41:17Will you become a member of Black Swan today?
41:21Or will you go back?
41:23Yes.
41:24When you were having a hard time and crying,
41:26I told you several times to go back.
41:30But you never give up.
41:33Why not?
41:34Because it's my dream.
41:36Your dream.
41:40In vocal, dance, and language,
41:45you got a pass from the trainers.
41:49Skills are important, but mental strength is very important.
41:55I think you have a very good mental strength.
41:59Yes.
42:00I think you can debut now.
42:10Pass.
42:11Pass?
42:12Congratulations.
42:14What?
42:21I've never seen her cry before.
42:23Gabi always cries, but she doesn't.
42:25Congratulations.
42:29Congratulations.
42:36Gabi, there must have been three difficulties.
42:38Korean, vocal training, dance, and diet.
42:43But after 6 months of Korean training,
42:47you've improved a lot.
42:49You have to practice more.
42:51I'm going to practice Korean more.
42:55You have to practice a lot.
42:58Actually, our staff thinks
43:03Gabi still has a lot to learn.
43:07She's not at a professional level yet.
43:11But the company decided to come to a conclusion today.
43:28Why do you keep disappearing?
43:32We wind back like D to A
43:35Close your eyes and turn them back.
43:39One, two, three.
43:41Go to dream
43:43I turn on the light.
43:45It's getting clearer.
43:47It's just a good night.
43:49Don't leave me.
43:51I don't wanna wait.
43:53It'll be hell again.
43:54You just be with me.
43:56Forever like this.
43:58In my daydream
44:00Kiss you say goodnight.
44:02Don't leave me.
