American television reveals behind-the-scenes Kpop training.

Recently, a popular American television channel launched Korean Pop Idols Rule Asia, a segment dedicated to Korean music and culture.

In a news report aired on June 5th, reporter Joohee Cho visited the headquarters of SM Entertainment, one of the largest entertainment agencies in Korea. The duo TVXQ is presented as "Asia's most popular artists," generating between $50 and $100 million in revenue annually.

American television stations were impressed by the fervent enthusiasm of TVXQ fans in Japan.

According to ABC News, the huge income and fame of Kpop idols are the aspirational dream of today's generation of South Korean teenagers. The report also conveys a glimpse into the trainee training situation at SM Entertainment.

Appearing on the show, Mark Lee – a member of the SMRookies trainee project – confidently answered interview questions in English. The 1999-born artist has two years of experience training at SM Entertainment. He stated that trainees not only need to be good at singing and dancing, but also need strong communication skills and a sense of humor. All of these are acquired through classes in vocal training, dance, foreign languages, musical instruments, and communication skills.

American television reports particularly highlighted South Korea's star training system, which even accepts trainees as young as 10. This is considered a crucial factor in K-pop's success.

Furthermore, promoting a group, rather than a solo singer, is also a smart strategy that minimizes investment risk. SNSD's powerful choreography in Catch Me If You Can is used to illustrate "uniform, disciplined dance moves"—a hallmark of K-pop.
