AOA’s Choa Reveals She Failed SM Entertainment’s Audition 15 Times

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

AOA member Choa revealed on the latest episode of late-night talk show “Radio Star” that she has failed the SM Entertainment trainee audition 15 times.

She was a featured guest on the May 20 broadcast of “Radio Star,” along with Kang Su Ji, Lim Soo Hyang, and Kim Sae Rom.

On the show, the idol star revealed, “I tried out for the SM auditions when Girls’ Generation members were trainees, because I was so envious,” adding, “I tried 15 times but never made it. I also tried out for JYP auditions, but didn’t make the cut at the final round.”

She further commented, “Before my debut, my family was really against it, so I went to auditions by myself. I was also working part-time as a salesperson for IPTV’s. I came number one in the sales team for that month, so I made 5 million won (approximately $5000 USD).”

When the impressed MC’s asked her what her trick was, she answered, “You have to have a sense of humor, and also be sensible.” However, she also added, “But making a lot of money didn’t equate to happiness.”

Soompi, insight

Good. She's AOA's saving grace and is such an FNC girl with her vocals and guitar skills. Plus she gets to be with her biffle5ever Juniel.

They kind of look alike too, they can pass off as twins/sisters IMO

tbh im not surprised
i never got her appeal

imo she's AOA's greatest catch. Their best vocal (the fact she can sing in the first place already trumps at least 6 members), can play the guitar decently, is a solid dancer and has the best (and only) stage presence alongside Jimin. She's also pretty and sweet - of course the other members are like that too, it's just Choa's more distinct-looking and warm to me plus pretty funny.

Don't mind me, just felt like spreading the Choa love \o/ I respect your opinion too~

Choa's my favorite! I love her parts and she's so incredibly talented. She could go solo, imo.
