Before Training

Right after school, I went to my company building, where I had my schedules and spend most of my time (basically the rest of the day). I always took public transport to get there. We didn't have a manager driving us around, especially before our debut. If you are set to debut as a solo artist, you train alone just with your trainers and sometimes join some group of trainees for dance practice. If you are supposed to debut as a group, you will train as a group in most of the lesson (mostly the dance ones, vocal/rap lesson were usually individual). That was my case. I should debuted as a maknae dancer and rapper in girl group of five members - the group line-up changed before debut anyway.

I was also that lucky, that in my company, trainees could have their phones and use them whenever they were out of the company building. I must just give the managers or some staff member my phone when I entered the company building and when I finished my schedule for a day, they gave me my phone back.

I was able to call with my friends and family, but I wasn't able to have any social media as a trainee, nor share the information from the company to anybody, not even my parents.

Right after I came to the company building, I had a lunch with my group members. We had a small cafeteria, in which we usually got the small lunch boxes with rice, some meat, kimchi or just other grilled vegetable. It depended on certain trainee's diet if they had some.
