These idols often participate in music groups, showcasing their talents through singing, dancing, and engaging with fans. The concept is popularized in anime, manga, and video games, where characters often face challenges and personal growth while pursuing their dreams. The phenomenon of school idols is closely associated with the Love Live! franchise, which features groups like μ's and Aqours.
