KIOF’s Belle was a composer and lyricist for some hugely successful K-pop songs prior to becoming a trainee, so on and so forth. And then she had to work 3 jobs to be able to pay for her auditions and to sustain herself during her idol training period because her family couldn’t financially support her for it. Solar of MAMAMOO had just completed a university program and was training to become a flight attendant before being scouted at an event and had even turned it down initially before deciding to try her hand in auditioning (she didn’t end up debuting until she was 23 iirc because of this, which obviously isn’t old but by idol standards is definitely unusual). Like how LSF’s Kazuha was a ballet dancer all her life and then got hardcore scouted and skipped the entire training period to join the group, and how (although not a K-pop group) XG’s Jurin was a competitive snowboarder her whole childhood/teenhood and won awards because of how good she is before joining XGALX. I was just thinking about how some idols have wound up in the idol industry under some unusual/uncommon circumstances and how surprising it is finding out the lives some idols have come from prior to their idol career.
