SBS KPop Star Audition Experience

Hello everyone! It has been such a long time and I have neglected my blog.  This summer, I was able to travel to Dallas, Texas to audition for the SBS KPop Star.  At this audition, you are in front of judges that work for JYP, SM, and YG.  You fill out an application before you go to the actual audition that is located on the SBS website (in Korean). The form asks for your entertainment company preference and I chose YG because they seem to give their artists more freedom and out of all the celebrity interviews, YG artists seem like they are the happiest.  Anyway, I filled out the form and emailed it to the email with the designated location of Dallas.  They emailed me back and a nice gentleman called me to see if I was doing well and ready for the audition.  At the audition, everyone told me they never got a phone call so I felt awkward.  The SBS KPop Star likes for you to bring your parents so I had my father accompany me.  I would get there early and make sure you know where the location is so you will not be late.  The line gets pretty long and it gives you time to socialize with possibly, the next "big thing."  There were cameras throughout the whole audition!!!  They filmed me a lot with my father and they filmed me practicing my dance when I got there, so this boosted my confidence. The staff was kind and helpful! As you check in, you are divided into two groups. Group A and Group B.  I got in Group B and nobody passed to the second round and that sadly includes me. 

The first audition is basically singing a song in Korean and a song in English.  They told me I was too dramatic in my songs.  They said they wanted me to be just plain in my movements on one song and very expressive on the other song.  I know one girl was told that she was too good and the show was about improving, so you want to be good but not AMAZING????..... I guess. Do NOT show that you are nervous! Be confident because this is your chance and it may be your only one!!!! It would be great if you are Korean and know Korean.  I feel like the judge for Group B did not pass anyone because he had a set image of the type of person he wanted to pass and just no one met it.  I talked to a girl who passed to the second audition and she said they ask you to sing and also do a dance..... You find out if you pass to the third one by mail. If you do pass the second round, you get the ticket to Korea and I hope you will get me a KPop boy as thanks for my information!!!!

On what to wear, you can dress up or you can wear something casual. I personally wore something I could dance in because I thought I was going to have the chance to dance..... Some girls wore dresses and some wore jeans/ blue jean shorts and a cute top or a KPop themed t-shirt.  Some girls wore heels, some wore converse, and some wore flats.  The guys wore jeans, vans/converse, and a button up flannel or a Kpop themed shirt.  I would not dress as "if you were going to church" of if you were going to a night club.  Just either kind of look "Swagtastic" or wear something super girly (lacy top with a cute floral skirt and flats/wedges). Make sure your hair looks great because all KPop stars have the best hair.  Some people wore makeup but there were a lot of natural face people.  All races were there, so do not be timid about that! On the t-shirts, do not wear a huge one, but a t-shirt that still shows your body type...somewhat.... Anyway! Do great at all your auditions!!!! FIGHTING!!!
