When she was 14, she trained in YG for 5 years
She was included in the debut team for Blackpink when they were named Pink Punk and was planned to debut in the team, but her debut got cancelled and she left the company (so that's why she's close with the Blackpink members)
Afterwards, she went to a vocal + composing academy for 2 years and then went to her current company Cube and trained for about 1 year and debuted. She debuted in 2019 with (G)I-dle as the main vocal
All these idols who trained for such a long time for an uncertain future and who held it in in order to have a successful debut are all impressive.

Wow seeing Miyeon like that, she really seems to have the type of voice+face that YG likes.... It's extremely regrettable that she couldn't debut with Blackpink but she suits being in (G)I-dle

Miyeon was in YG for 5 years, then 2 years in a vocal academy and trained in Cube for a few months.They said that she trained for the least amount of time among the people in Cube, but instead that her time as a trainee was the longest...

Seulgi also trained for 7 years.. She almost debuted in F(x) but it didn't work out so she trained for another 5 years. There was also a time where everyone was out and there was only her and Irene left. She had vocal cord nodules and couldn't even pronounce a 2-syllables word like "unnie", so at that time, she clung unto her dancing and became the main dancer + lead vocal.... You can see how she mastered the basics of being an idol which makes me respect her
