How long does it take to debut as an idol?

It seems like the time it takes to debut varies for each singer. On average, how long does it usually take?
I want to become an idol, but I’m worried because I don’t have enough information.
I hope to gain a lot of helpful insights from this website!😍

IU (Lee Ji-eun) trained for just about 10 months before debuting. She signed with LOEN Entertainment (now Kakao Entertainment) at 15, and she made her debut on September 18, 2008, with the album "Lost and Found", which included the track "Mia."

Even though she trained for a short time, her strong vocals and musicality quickly caught attention, leading her to become one of K-pop's biggest stars.😘
