SM Entertainment, the Korean talent agency that boost the likes of BoA, Kangta, TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, Ara and Lee Yeon-hee etc. will be holding the “08 SM Entertainment Global Audition” in Sept/Oct 2008.

The auditions will be held from September 19 to October 25 in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Orange County (CA), New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. Nationality doesn’t matters, but it seems like they are looking for Asian faces only.

It’s funny that SM is calling it a ‘global’ audition when in fact the locations are limited to US and Canada. Regardless, it’s a chance for young Asian talents to try their luck if they are interested with the entertainment business.

Set aside the publicity purpose, SM do mean business with the auditions. If not mistaken Tiffany from SNSD and Henry from Suju-M were discovered from previous auditions… there might be a few more that I’m not aware of.

Check SM’s website for details and updates. Good luck if there is any taker here.

The latest Samsung AnyCall commercial (full 9 mins version), featuring Korean pop stars BoA, Xiah of TVXQ, Tablo of Epik High, and pianist prodigy Jin Bora…

AnyCall is famous for its CFs; its previous series featuring pop star Lee Hyori (AnyMotion, AnyClub etc.) were known globally via online video sharing sites.

With Hyori’s contract ending pretty soon, Samsung is trying to form a new hype with the quartet in AnyBand… obviously a worthy replacement.
