HI there K-pop addicts! Do you know how SS501, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, et cetera are formed? They all started up just like us - as commoners.
And thanks to Korea's entertainment agencies, they became stars! So, K-pop fans out there, shouldn't you be wondering how your favourite Korean group got formed?
Here's the thing, It’s not easy to be selected. They are chosen through auditions hosted by talent agencies, just like the American Idol audition. Can you imagine that? There should be thousands of people attending the same audition. From there, agencies will choose who is eligible to join and form a new K-pop group.
Well, in case you wish to be like them, try to get to know their agencies. For example, S.M. Entertainment, DSP Media, YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and more.
For your information, S.M. Entertainment brought Super Junior, SHINEE, BOA, Girls' Generation and others up, and DSP Entertainment formed SS501! Also, Wonder Girls are signed to JYP Entertainment!
The auditions are not only for Koreans, they are open to anyone that has talent. It would be better for you if you could speak fluent Korean. For instance, Han Geng, the Chinese member of Super Junior, was chosen by S.M. Entertainment from a few thousand applicants through auditions held in China, same for Nickhun of 2PM and Nicole from KARA. This proves that it is not impossible for us to join Korean K-pop groups!
For more information, try Google-ing them! We can see that most of them went through auditions to be what they are now! A little advice, do apply for anything which is related to what you are pursuing, don’t miss any chance!
If you are pursuing this, try to go to the SM Entertainment website and apply for the online audition. Besides that, you could also show your talent by posting your videos on Youtube. Who knows maybe the CEO of the Korean Talent company might see your videos, and believe them and you might be one of the members in the next new Korean group!
