The Debut: Dream Academy was a groundbreaking reality competition from HYBE and Geffen Records, aimed at creating a global girl group. HYBE, known for its K-pop artists, partnered with Geffen, home to stars like Camila Cabello and Olivia Rodrigo, to blend K-pop’s rigorous training with a global approach.

According to HYBE’s Bang PD, the goal was to form a global group rooted in K-pop’s training system. This Training and Development (T&D) process, spanning over a year, focused on vocals, dance, star quality, visual performance, and attitude. Trainees faced monthly evaluations, leading to rankings based on their skills and growth.

Unbeknownst to them, this training led to a survival show with fan voting and eliminations. In September 2023, 20 trainees competed over 12 weeks in 3 missions, but only 6 would debut as the final group—KATSEYE.

Now, almost a year later, Netflix has released a 2024 documentary titled Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE revisiting the HYBE x Geffen trainees. While we previously analyzed their talent post-show, this update reflects new insights from the documentary. Despite being a global project, it aligns with our channel’s focus on K-pop’s impact, as the trainees followed its training model.

Thus, EK Cristobal presents: ANALYZING DREAM ACADEMY/ POP STAR ACADEMY ELIMINATED TRAINEES BASED ON TALENT

Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and should not be taken as factual information.

This video ought to answer the following:
1. How were the trainees' skills showcased in the documentary?
2. Is talent alone enough to succeed in the entertainment industry?
3. What lessons can be learned from their journey through training and the survival show?
