They're reasonably talented dancers, I'll give them that, but generally are picked by companies for their ability to look pretty and attract fans, as opposed to any true creative or musical talent, and pretty much everything about them is created by the record companies.

... This is why Taeyang, GD, TOP, and Daesung from Big Bang, Bang Yong Guk, Jonghyun from SHINee, Leeteuk, Donghae, Eunhyuk, and Henry from SuJu, Junhyung from Beast, and Jinyoung from B1A4 all have lyrics and production credits on their songs, sometimes without any others credited. Since composition and lyrics creds are where all the money is, it's not like producers are super eager to hand those out.

Forgetting that off the top of my head I can think of five male idols who are skilled enough pianists to win positions in regional philharmonics in the US. And Seohyun from SNSD who took up classical piano as a hobby and occasionally films herself playing sonatas at a level equal to a number of my friends in college who were music majors.

It's not like South Korea has a dearth of skilled musicians, thanks in part to the "Tiger Mom" phenom and partially due to music education actually being taken seriously there. Really, becoming a trainee has more to do with proving that you're pretty enough to distinguish yourself from all of the other people with tons of talent who can't also be styled to look like they just got beamed down from Planet Fairy.

I mean, ffs, Onew from SHINee covered Nessun Dorma for their first official concert as his solo song, because he enjoys singing opera for fun.
