A K-Pop enthusiast knows how difficult it is to become an idol in Korea. You have to beat thousands of talented individuals, and train for months or even years before you can even think of debuting. Even then there is no guarantee that you will ever get a chance to debut.

Seeing one of us there makes me so proud.😇😇 I’m glad our girls are exploring all kinds of career options and not limiting themselves to the confines of language and culture boundaries.

Here is an interview of Sriya in which she talks about her dream of going to Korea and becoming a K-Pop idol.
