“Until a couple of months ago, I used to watch their videos as a fan, and now, here I am, being called a K-pop idol, one of them. The launch event also saw performance by one of his favourite groups - Monsta X. The singer says he felt “really, really honoured” to have had his formal launch at the Seoul’s prestigious Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium, a venue where musical giants such as Sting and Super Junior have earlier performed.
He reveals that he hadn’t had any “serious professional” musical training before that. After clearing the auditions, Sid went to Seoul, South Korea - the mecca of South Korea’s music industry - for the intense training all aspiring K-pop stars are required to go through before they can debut. Sid reveals that unlike common perception, he did not apply for auditions for Z-Boys - he was invited for it, after his YouTube videos impressed the scouts. “At the same time, I used to listen to international music, and was very much impressed by their performances, the way they carry themselves so, I decided to become a global artist,” adds the ambitious singer-performer from Muzaffarnagar. We’re typical North Indians who love films so, it was pretty obvious for me to sing Bollywood songs,” says Sid, who lists Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor among his favourite actors. “My parents love Bollywood music and it has had a huge impact on our lives. The 19-year-old Delhi University student is the first-ever Indian member of a K-pop group, and is currently on a promotional tour in Asia. From covering Bollywood songs on YouTube to performing on a global stage as part of the K-pop group Z-Boys, Siddhant Arora aka Sid has sure come a long way.
