Proč jsou ve skupinách členi, kteří jsou spíše do počtu?A proč vznikly pozice, které pro chod skupiny a nebo pro uměleckou stránku nemají jakékoliv opodstatnění a hloubku?Tohle téma si s Arďou hezky rozpitváme! Tak doufáme, že nejsme jediní, kteří si tohle uvědomují... nebo... jak to máte vy?
This week Kevin Kim spills on how a K-pop album is made. It starts with thinking about what song they want. They have huge meetings with producers and staff where they think about the concept and music genre. They listen to a bunch of demo songs and decide which one they want to use. Sometimes, after the pre-recording, it won't sound right so they'll change their mind on the song. It can sound really different after the recording.Once they decide on the songs they want to promote, they choose a concept and try on a lot of clothes. The stylist brings out all different outfits for them to try; sometimes they pick and choose, and other times the stylist will show them photos of what's on trend. Once they've chosen clothes they go straight to a photoshoot for the album. Then the members write thank you notes, and sign them, to put in the special albums. Kevin thinks he's signed more than 50-100 thousand times.

This week, Prince Mak spills all the deets about the life of a K-pop trainee. Each company's trainee regime is different, but every trainee will have to stick through some kind of rigorous program in order to become K-pop idols.For Prince Mak, he had to get up at 5:30AM every day and train for the whole day until 1AM. Various lessons will be packed into each day, such as vocal, dancing, acting (which is essential since this is where most money is made), and language lessons. Trainees will have to work hard at these lessons because there will be regular tests, which will gauge the progress of each trainee. For younger trainees, they will have to juggle both school and lessons.Sadly, despite all the work put in by trainees, not everyone will be able to debut as a K-pop idol. Some will quit partway through training, but on average, only 1 in 3 trainees will ultimately debut as an idol.
This week K-pop star Kevin Kim shares his fitness tips with Andy Trieu. Kevin says the easiest way to have a scheduled plan that works for your body is to get a personal trainer. The ZE:A boys start their workout on treadmills and do a lot of stretching. He says you shouldn't go straight into heavy weights; you need to warm up first. The trick to fast abs? Ab bicycles, and planks. They always finish their workout with a plank. Also squats. Do a lot of squats. Many girl groups do pilates and yoga, which is great for the mind too.
