In order to succeed, only two conditions need to be met.

You must be a participant from an audition program such as "Superstar K" or "K-Pop Star," and must be cast immediately by a large agency. We can say this because artists that debut this way are receiving much more favor than trainees that have been sweating in the practice rooms of major agencies for many years.

Audition stars have been widely appreciated in the music industry for the past few years. Busker Busker, Roy Kim, Yoo Seung Woo, Hong Dae Kwang, Jung Joon Young, Lee Hi, 15&, and Akdong Musician quickly became the center of attention after entering the music industry in this manner. One thing that all these artists have in common is the fact that they are all being supported by major agencies. Lee Hi and Akdong Musician are under the umbrella of YG Entertainment. 15& was picked up by JYP Entertainment. Roy Kim and Hong Dae Kwang have a strong crutch in CJ.

Audition program stars have an acute awareness and already established fandom. They then successfully create great albums with the support of a large agency. And that's the bulk of where their success stems from. This fact is evident even in recent music charts. Akdong Musician's debut song "200%" and 15&'s new song "Can't Hide It" are ranked high on music charts. "K-Pop Star 3" victor Bernard Park's "Because I Love You" is also topping charts.

One major agency official stated, "If a singer has joined an audition program, they must get ready and instantly release their debut song before the 'medication wears off.' That's why their debuts are relatively quick, and the agency helps produce a great and complete album. Major producers such as Yang Hyun Suk and Park Jin Young are prime examples of discovering singers through audition programs and helping them succeed under great attention."
