Today I'll tell you guys ALL I know about the SM Entertainment Live and Email Audition Process. I have researched for more than a week and I have a lot of insider information for people who want to know. Here it comes!
Email:
You send them an email and after a week or so you get a automated reply telling you thank you and to attend your global audition. This is automated reply so it doesn't mean you got in, but I know about 3 years ago SM checked their email and they would ACTUALLY reply, and if you were good they would invite you to a private audition in one of their Seoul locations, but NOT ANYMORE. :'( So sad, so email auditions won't get you anywhere, really.
Live:
You first attend live audition. You will line up, they will give you a number. You wait until your number is called and you will be with a number of different people (10 I think), and you do your thing. You will be recorded. After everyone auditions they will call for a 'Rhythm Test', so they play a song and you dance to it to see your dancing skills. Of course, if you are a really good singer then they wouldn't mind crappy dancing, but if you are average then you will probably get rejected.
If you get through the first round of auditions you will be contacted to attend a second round. for the second round you will be performing with others who got in second round and there will be specially selected staff to judge you.
If you pass the second round, you will get to the third round in Seoul. If you do not already live their, you have to buy a ticket to Seoul (no ticket provided) and they will give you an address and you have to perform in front of Lee Soo Man himself. Totally nerve-wracking. His expectations are freakin dead high, bro.
Then you return to your original country. After you pass your parents will be given a contract and it depends on them if they sign it or not. If they sign it, you will be flown (for free!) to Seoul and there will be SM people at the airport waiting for you. First you will get your timetable, room, school and stuff.
Then they will show you to some SM artist concerts so you get used to it! Yeah!
Oh yeah about attending school in SK.
-If you are not native Korean/don't know much hangul SM will send you to a foreign school (means a school which teaches in a language other than Korean), if not then you will attend a normal school.
- If you are in uni you will probs be sent to Seoul National Arts University.
- You will have to learn hangul, Japanese, English, simple chinese (if you haven't already)
- Intense training!!
Good luck, I hope I helped you!
