An idol group is a musical ensemble typically formed in the entertainment industry, particularly popular in East Asian cultures, where members are often young performers who are groomed for success in music, dance, and public appeal. These groups are characterized by their targeted marketing, performances, and often a strong emphasis on visual aesthetics and fan engagement. Members of idol groups are usually trained in various skills, including singing, choreography, and acting, and they often have polished images that align with the interests of their fanbase. Idol groups can range in size, and they often perform synchronized routines and wear coordinated outfits. They engage in various promotional activities, such as music releases, television appearances, and fan events, which create a close relationship with their audience. The concept is integral to the genre of J-pop (Japanese pop), K-pop (Korean pop), and similar music industries.
