SBS's new audition program, K-POP STAR, aired its first episode on December 4th.
Both viewers and judges were impressed by the talent and individuality of the contestants in the show’s first round of auditions.
BoA shed tears as she watched the passionate dance performance by Kim Soo Hwan, a 19 year old who is visually impaired. J.Y. Park was awed by 16 year old Kim Na Yoon's rendition of Alicia Keys' Fallin', and Yang Hyun Suk didn't hold back his praise of 15 year old Park Jung Eun. He said, "You have (dance) skills that could gain recognition not only in Korea, but all over the world."
Netizens who watched the show commented, "The show has a distinguishable entertainment factor", "There are so many skilled contestants", "It's entertaining and touching as well", and "This is what you call a real audition program. I wish K-POP STAR good fortune."
K-POP STAR is a survival audition program geared to produce the next generation of a global K-Pop star and features judges from the big 3 entertainment companies: SM, YG, and JYP. The 1st place winner will received 300 million Won ($266,552) and an opportunity to release their own album, as well as many other additional prizes.
