SM Entertainment, one of Korea’s largest talent management agencies, is kicking off its 09′ global audition on February 14th in its home ground, with plans to extend the audition to China, Japan, South East Asia, Canada and USA etc.
SM is looking for various talents in singing, acting, dancing, modelling etc. It’s said that all Asians are welcome regardless of nationality and age… but I doubt they would want a 40-year-old veteran lol.
[update] USA & Canada audition announced; no news on other places.
Nov 15 – Wilshire Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles
Nov 22 – Toronto Korean Center, Toronto
Nov 22 – Executive Plaza Hotel, Vancouver
Nov 27/28 – Korea Village, New York
Refer to SM Entertainment’s official website for more details. Also check out JYPE audition and Avex audition which are running in Oct/Nov in US and Canada.
1. Singer – prepare 1 or 2 songs which you can sing without accompaniment. Please make sure that you are confident in your song selection and that the song fits best to your voice.
2. Dancer – Free Style Dancing, CD to be submitted to the reception desk on the audition date by the applicant. (If you do not bring any CD for dance, random music will be played.)
3. Actor – Impromptu Acting, memorized monologue to be prepared by applicant.
4. Model – Free posing. (5 or more)
5. Producer/Composer (Writer) – Producer/Composer (Writer) Demo CD or written music to be brought by the applicant.
[hat tip to junior]
SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment are two different companies.
SM is much larger than JYPE, boosting the likes of BoA, TVXQ, Suju, SNSD etc… while JYPE has Wonder Girls.
No, I don’t think the selected talents would need to pay for their trainings… maybe Jaejoong was referring to other stuff, extra personal lessons or perhaps before he joined the company.

if i do the email auditions and they are interested in me(pfft) would they come to australia cause i cant afford to go to korea. =[
Ally… if you look like Angelina Jolie and sing like Celine Dion, they will.
Else, find a way to achieve your dream or simply forget about it.
