Problem: Article: Though many companies will accept non-Korean trainees, you will still be catering to a largely Korean audience. It’s smart to learn about the culture if you aren’t already familiar. Study popular K-pop groups, spend time on Korean fashion websites, and read up on etiquette and social norms. If you aren’t Korean, it’ll show the producers that you are invested in becoming a K-pop trainee and are willing to work hard to be a part of the culture. At a minimum, make sure you know basic phrases like “hello,” “goodbye,” “please,” and “thank you.” Though, the more you know, the better! You will have to sing in Korean at least some of the time if you become a trainee, and knowing the language will also help you make friends and get around in South Korea. If you can’t take a Korean language class, try downloading an app like EggBun or Duolingo. A big part of being a successful trainee is characterized by having good manners and behaving properly. Try to stay out of situations where you might get in trouble, like, for example, being at a party where there is underage drinking. And use caution when putting things on social media. Managers and executives can most likely see your accounts. Producers are interested in trainees who have the right skill and are willing to work hard. They aren’t interested in trainees who end up in the spotlight because they’re often in trouble or causing drama. Start recording your original songs, as well as your covers. Feel free to experiment with videos that show you talking about your experience in your pursuit to becoming a K-pop trainee. Producers often visit YouTube channels when looking for new recruits. Create a schedule for posting so that you’re regularly adding new content to your channel, and research different ways to grow your audience. ght and be in good shape. Some companies are looking for recruits who are very slim, while others will happily accept trainees who are a little bigger. But regardless of your size, you need to be able to keep up with the rigorous physical requirements, like hours of dance classes everyday. If you are out of shape or want to lose weight, incorporate daily exercise into your routine and try to eat more whole foods rather than processed foods.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with Korean cultural norms and beauty standards. Learn to speak Korean if it isn’t a language you’re familiar with. Avoid scandal and be careful with what you put on social media. Create a YouTube channel to upload videos and create a following.  and be in good shape.

Problem: Article: An organic label means that the food was grown or raised without the use of synthetic chemicals (but there are exceptions).  Lots of people confuse sustainable agriculture with organic farming. Both are aimed at using more ecologically sensible practices, but they are judged by a distinct set of standards. Organic farming, especially when carried out on a large, industrial scale, can still damage the environment and threaten public health in a variety of ways: Ecosystems can still be ruined by widespread monoculture; pesticides can still be applied; soils can still be depleted of nutrients and organic matter; pollution can still be created; and exorbitant amounts of fossil fuels can still be spent (and wasted), all under an organic label. Farming a single area so that it produces food indefinitely. In order to move in this direction, a farm has to:  avoid irreversible changes to the land (for example, erosion) withdraw no resources from the environment that cannot be replenished (for example, not using more water than can be replaced regularly by rainfall) produce enough income to remain on a farm in face of worldwide farm consolidation and infrastructure development Determine where your resources come from and whether you're taking more than can be replaced, either through natural processes or your own practices.  Where are your resources and inputs coming from? Think specifically about water, energy, soil amendments, and feed (if you have livestock). Also think about long-term, capital investments, such as structural building materials, tools, etc. Keep in mind that no farm is an island: complete self-sufficiency is not a requirement of sustainable agriculture. Long-term stability and productivity is. The more renewable and varied your resources are, the longer your farm will last.
Summary: Don't confuse "sustainable" with "organic". Know what sustainability means: Consider the source.

Problem: Article: To clean the outside of your kettle, use basic dish detergent. Wash the outside with the dish soap and then wipe it down with a damp cloth. Try not to get any dish soap inside the kettle.  Clean the outside every week or so. Because of the heating element, you cannot place your electric kettle in water. If you have a stainless steel electric kettle, you may want to polish it to keep it shiny. To make it shiny, use olive oil. Place some oil on a soft cloth and rub over the outside of the kettle. Rub gently to make sure you don't scratch the outside surface. The interior of your kettle can get build up with frequent use, especially if you live in an area with hard water. This can lead to flakes in your tea or coffee, and cause the kettle to work slower. To keep your kettle working properly, clean it every few months.
Summary:
Clean the outside with dish soap. Polish with olive oil. Clean your kettle often.
