SM Entertainment To Continue Global Auditions

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

SM Entertainment, the company that manages BoA, TVXQ and Super Junior, will be holding their "2010 SM Entertainment Global Auditions in Korea" from 16 January to 21 February.

This time, the auditions will be held in 11 regions across the nation, like Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju, Incheon & Suwon.

SM Entertainment said, "The global auditions which will be held in Asia and the United States, will begin with the auditions held in Korea." They also said that "the first global auditions was held in 2006, and Super Junior's Henry and f(x)'s Amber were contracted through these auditions".

They said that age or nationality does not matter, and the departments that Asian candidates can apply for comprise singing, dancing, acting, modelling and composition.

sadly there'll still be many who're going to audition.

because almost every group that SM's debuted in recent years have made it big. getting into SM and debuting with them is almost guaranteed success since SM promotes its artistes so damn well

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

i know. lol. i still think that SM is the way to go if you want instant fame/popularity. i only wish they would amend their contracts. :\

Greetings from Europe.

You're more likely to see anything than us Aussies.

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

"nationality does not matter" but then they say "Asian candidates" :P So more specifically any nationality as long as you're Asian. Well at least they're being upfront about it.

Funny how they still advertise that they manage those 3.

How about instead of dragging more people into messed up contracts, they take the year off and revise the current terms instead? ;\

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

Lol. That was the best part of the article. Using TVXQ & Super Junior as an advertising tool despite the controversy.

And still thousands will sign up :\

[anicolen.livejournal.com]

Why the fuck would anyone want to audition for SM knowing what we know now?
People should really do their research before going into things like this.

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

Because there are still people who are hungry enough for fame, or in destitute situations that they want to get out of.

OR, they could just have really big dreams for stardom, and that's like almost the whole younger generation. LOL.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

people are probably gonna audition for this. the though of being around your biases/idols might eclipse the whole "slave contracts" thing

[shade-of-kim.livejournal.com]

LOL so true

AHAHAHAHAH

[hp-eternalglory.livejournal.com]

ngl, if i could go i would...but since they don't come to small towns...

slave contracts or not, honestly sme is still the best at promotions and getting artists to become famous.
you can't deny that.
if you wanted fame, sme would be your best shot.

[super-genin.livejournal.com]

but at what price? that is always the question. </3

[leafed.livejournal.com]

I know of a girl at my school that's auditioned a few times at the LA office.
She seems like a pretty big kpop fan so I'm guessing she knows about SM's contract problems.

ngl, I'd probably audition too if I was asian :/
i'm mexican and even though most people say I look vietnamese, I'm still mexican :/

[slayerizedcarol.livejournal.com]

:( just here to support the hispanic love for kpop lol

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

IT'S A TRAP!

Good luck to people auditioning.

[miyumiyuxxx.livejournal.com]

i hope they're coming to canada again too :(

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

Lol, your nationality doesn't matter, but to be a part of SM Academy, you have to be asian or speak korean fluently.

Would have tried it out if I didn't live in Europe. *rolls eyes*

[dreamsbytheedge.livejournal.com]

RIGHT. So 2 of the 3 artistes/groups mentioned are facing major lawsuit problems.

[radical-ed57.livejournal.com]

No, thanks. I'm good.

[rawrbby.livejournal.com]

i wouldn't want to be in sm right now...but if sm was all good and dandy anyone think i could get by with plastic surgery? xD

[meccamputech.livejournal.com]

how many trainee's does sme have already though?

[miyumiyuxxx.livejournal.com]

maybe they got scared by the lawsuits and left

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

i would only audition for SM if i was guaranteed a BoA-like career haha. that way don't have to share the fame with other girls = better promotion = end up in japan and get lots of moneys and hang with cool djs and m-flo and oguri shun or whatever the fuck loll

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]
