How Agencies Make Idols: Big Four, Auditions, Platforms
Start from the fact that Stray Kids belong to JYP: J.Y. Park and Twice, SM and YG, HYBE founded by a former JYP composer, CJ ENM and the Mnet audition that formed Iz*One, and the fan platform Weverse.
This course starts from a single fact — Stray Kids belong to JYP — then moves through J.Y.
