How do K-pop agencies scout and train their idols?

I've always been fascinated by how K-pop idols are discovered and trained. What does the scouting process look like, and what kind of training do they go through? Are there any notable stories of idols' journeys to debut?

I think K-pop agencies scout talent through auditions and social media. Though, the training is intense, focusing on singing, dancing, and personal development.
