#1 TOP DEFINITION
The period an idol spends as a 'trainee' at an entertainment company before officially debuting. Trainees practice singing, dancing, rapping, and foreign languages — often for years. Training periods can range from months to over a decade, with no guarantee of debut.
Example
“Lisa trained at YG Entertainment for five years before debuting with BLACKPINK — a relatively short training period for a major label.”
