11Overview22K-pop and performance content is a growing feature set in inZOI that spans an existing career path and a major planned expansion. The Idol Trainee career at Adam Entertainment is already playable in Dowon, letting Young Adult Zois train as K-pop idols through daily dance, vocal, and fitness sessions. The Q2 2026 Roadmap expands on this foundation with dedicated performance stages, K-pop styling options, new dance motions, and superstar events.44Idol Trainee Career66The Idol Trainee career is a full-time active career at Adam Entertainment, exclusive to Dowon. It is one of the most demanding careers in the game, requiring five days of work per week with long shifts and multiple time-sensitive tasks. The career has three ranks, and progression ends at Senior Trainee. There is currently no promotion beyond Senior Trainee to become a full idol; this is expected to be addressed in future updates.88Career Details1111DetailInfoEmployerAdam EntertainmentCityDowon (exclusive)Job TypeFull-Time, ActiveSchedule10:00 AM - 6:00 PMDays per Week5 (weekdays only)Age RequirementYoung Adult onlyHousehold Limit3 Zois can hold this career1313Important: The Idol Trainee career is restricted to the Young Adult life stage. When your Zoi ages into an Adult, they are automatically removed from the career. Plan your Zoi's career timeline accordingly and consider transitioning to another career before aging out.1414Rank Progression1616RankSalary (Meow)Promotion RequirementRookie Trainee136Complete daily tasks consistently across multiple shiftsJunior Trainee400Complete daily tasks consistently; prioritize vocal practiceSenior Trainee600Final rank; no further promotion available1818The salary jumps significantly at each promotion. Rookie Trainees earn just 136 Meow per shift, making it one of the lowest-paying starting positions in the game. By Senior Trainee, pay rises to 600 Meow, though this is still below many other full-time careers given the five-day schedule.1919Rookie Trainee Tasks2121The Rookie Trainee shift is split into morning and afternoon blocks, each with three tasks that must be completed within strict time windows.2323TaskLocationQuantityWindowChange into practice clothesWardrobe1Morning (3 hrs)Morning dance trainingPractice room mirror3 sessionsMorning (3 hrs)Vocal practiceMicrophone in studio3 sessionsMorning (3 hrs)Fitness room workoutsFitness equipment3 repsAfternoon (5 hrs)Afternoon dance trainingPractice room mirror3 sessionsAfternoon (5 hrs)Study producingComputer in studio20 minutesAfternoon (5 hrs)2525Junior Trainee Tasks2626Junior Trainees face a harder workload with additional language study and increased dance requirements.

Maintaining positive Karma is also important since an idol's public image matters.4141Career Tips4343TipDetailsPrioritize vocal practice.Singing sessions take the longest and are the most common cause of failed task deadlines. Start with vocals early in each shift block.Choose easy fitness exercises.Dumbbells and lat pulldowns are faster to complete than treadmills. Pick equipment that finishes quickly to save time for other tasks.Save computer tasks for last.Studying production, languages, and checking recordings auto-continue once started. Queue them at the end of a shift block so your Zoi finishes without supervision.Never fail tasks at Rookie or Junior rank.Failed tasks slow promotion progress and risk termination. Save your game before shifts and reload if tasks expire.Watch your Zoi's age.Since the career ends at the Adult life stage, plan transitions carefully. If your Zoi is close to aging up, consider switching careers before losing the position involuntarily.4545Q2 2026 Performance Expansion4646The 2026 Roadmap announces a major expansion of performance content scheduled for Q2 2026.
