Being a K-pop trainee isn't easy. Aside from the grueling hours you have to dedicate to training and lessons, you also have to adhere to the strict rules set by the company. These rules usually involved no dating, no junk food or certain food, curfews, and more. Of course, following these rules can get tiring and mentally straining. That's why some resort to breaking them!
With that, here are some K-pop idols who sneakily broke their company's rules as trainees!
1. TWICE
TWICE
When the TWICE members were still trainees, their food intake was strictly monitored by JYP Entertainment. Unfortunately, the members couldn't easily satisfy their cravings as a CCTV was placed in front of their door. But the members got quite creative with getting their food deliveries without the company's knowledge.
In their 2016 show "TWICE's Private Life," the members can be seen ordering pizza and jokbal. But instead of getting the food delivery through the door, they got it through the window! They would bring down connected shoestrings and ask the delivery person to tie their order with it and eventually pull up their food!
2. BTS RM
BTS RM
When BTS appeared on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," leader RM revealed that they weren't allowed to have certain food when they were trainees, such as jjajangmyeon. However, RM was craving jjajangmyeon one day and decided to pretend he had a stomachache during their dance practice. While pretending to go to the restroom, RM quickly ran to a nearby jjajangmyeon restaurant.
As he had to be quick, RM only took a few bites to finish off his jjajangmyeon and head back to practice. But when he returned, he got caught as he couldn't hide the smell of jjajangmyeon!

Trainees helping fellow trainees break the rules is a hilarious story to tell later on! Back when the f(x) members were still trainees, they were put on a diet. But like others, they also had some serious food cravings. As they couldn't order food without getting scolded by their managers, they enlisted the help of a fellow trainee, EXO Sehun!
At the time, Sehun was just 14 years old. But f(x) somehow managed to convince the young trainee to buy kimbap for them and sneak it in. Unfortunately, both f(x) and Sehun were caught by the girl group's manager, and it soon became known as the "kimbap incident."
4. BLACKPINK Rosé

During her appearance on the SBS show "My Little Old Boy," BLACKPINK Rosé revealed how she used to hide her snacks when she was a trainee! As she wasn't allowed to have junk food, Rosé would empty her pillowcase and fill it with different snacks.
Unfortunately, Rosé and her snack pillow were caught by a staff member who was cleaning her room at the time. The staff member had accidentally touched the pillowcase, which ended up making crumpling sounds.
