Real-time content sounds good! SM has been making a few big decisions lately, and while I didn't necessarily agree with those, I'm definitely impressed by the effort put in to reach out to international fans. The announcement of an upcoming audition in Kazakhstan was a pleasant surprise too even if I can't wrap my mind around it just yet.
Hi, sure you can. There's a banner that links to information on the audition (http://audition.smtown.com/GlobalAudition1105.asp) at the top of SM Audition (http://www.smtown.com/).
Thanks a lot :D Wow. Is there a big market for k-pop in Kazakhstan? I mean, it's in Asia, sure, but that never would have topped my list for countries to audition in... I mean, does SM even do auditions in Japan, glorious country of hallyu exports?
well, japan already has a huge music market. there's a lot of untapped potential in places not even anglophone fans seem to consider part of the 'asia' they keep talking about, yanno... i'm glad they're doing this, although i will probably disagree heavily with the details of the execution.
I know we all hate SME for being like monsters sometimes but truth to be told, they're not one of the biggest labels in entertainment industry for nothing we have to admit they're the best at their job
