Hi my name's Rylee, and my life... well it's kinda crazy

        Warning... If you can't read this all the way through then you will be considered lazy and you will not be able to fully understand some aspects of my interests. Most people think that I'm weird, well I kinda am. You probably already know what this will be about. I like K-pop. How you may ask? You might say that they can't sing, rap, dance and that they are not popular. Well, let me prove you wrong. 
       Before I do that I want to explain what K-pop is and how you become an idol. K-Pop is simply Korean pop. I originated from South Korea. Not North Korea. When you want to become an Idol you must become a trainee at a company of your choice. You could go to a local audition if the company is in your area, or you can fly overseas. You must know that once you chose to become a trainee it will be hard to get out. There are many companies to choose from when you sign in. Some popular ones are YG, JYP, SM, BigHit, StarShip, Stone, Cube, and possibly one hundred others. Life as a trainee is hard. I watched a video on the life that they have and their schedule id somewhat like this. Wake up at 5, go on the daily 12-kilometer run, Go to your station for the day. It could be dance skills, cardio, vocals, rap, or anything else till noon. You will get a possible 30-minute lunch, or you will go to your next location for the next 4 hours. At 4:30 you will get a 1-hour break until the flex test. Most companies have a flex test at the end of the day. The test is to see how far down you can go in a Chinese split. After that more training and free time in your dorm for 1-hour before lights out at Midnight. They get maybe, hopefully at most 5 hours of sleep per night, let alone only getting one meal a day. 
       Now back to today's topic, you think that they can't sing, try again. Watch this video to find out the vocal abilities that some idols have. The notes that they can reach are out of my vocal abilities. (just kidding, they aren't, I'm just trying to make them look better than me)
        After watching that video, what do you think? Answer in the comments below. Next up are the rap lines. Check out this video for rap lines that might surprise you. Just give it a try. If you don't like it then that's your opinion. I don't like all the raps in the video, just a select few.
       Next would be our little talk on the dance. Watch this video. If you think they can't dance learn a dance from this list of hardest dances and perform it in public. I dare you. The moves are so synchronized and fast that it's hard to do a cover of the song.
       Now we need to talk about their popularity. They are much more popular than many American artists. For example, Blackpink has a song that is at the 1 billion view mark, so does BTS, NCT, Monsta X, Twice, and many more. Now we should all remember PSY's Gangnam Style, Right. Well, he has almost 3 billion views for the M/V because of his popularity and style. There is also a video of most current top 60 pop songs on the internet/YouTube
