  • What happens if your Black and Asian?? (or can pull off being black and asian..)

  • Does your body size matter? Or do u hav 2 b really skinny?

  • @chuchi15092 If you're not skinny enough they will make you go on a diet

  • im korean and chinese but cant speak anything lol only english XD i wanna learn how to speak korean but its gonna take years! plus i dont have no teacher!

  • English is not my mother language so I don't know if I got it right.

    It's ok if you are not Asian to audition, but it's better if you audition in Korea??

  • are there weekly auditions in korea?

  • u r so knowledgeable!! im kinda wondering how u know all this stuff? ^^

  • do you HAVE to look east asian??/

  • i was going to do the sm audition in 2011 and so i gotta practice. your advice helped me a lot and i will tell you the results later.by 2011, i will b 12 and i think tht is 2 young but i will still try my best!

  • just wondering but are the weekly auditions in LA year round?? meaning they dont end?

  • Where can I find the form? I want to do the e-mail auditions \(^o^)/

  • @haerincs go to their website.

  • Did they let taeyeon in because of only her voice becuz i heared that when she auditioned she was chubby but not fat n had big shoulder but they let her in becuz of her amazing voice is that true?

  • Idols are often stereotyped as being untalented and too focused on visuals. What’s ironic is that each group’s main vocalists has better live skills than some of the solo artists out there. However, due to the fact that they’re a part of an idol group, their talents aren’t always appreciated.

  • @NaomeaStarlight dothey count indians as asians? cause if they do, i would try and audition rightaway! :D

  • @leastcommondinominat Seriously do they count indians as asians? If you find out can you let me know please?

  • @SpringxNichtx well, some1 replied to me saying, "not really, but u can definately try!" so i think it's yes but its pretty unlikely to u get in (especially if udon't know korean).

  • can someone name couple pretty/cute k-pop girl celebrities in girl groups?

  • @superduperlovly SNSD ( Girl's Generation ) , Wonder Girls, Kara, f(x) , LOL idk.

  • When you audition, do you have to make an appointment before going or do you just go then fill out a form and audition without one?

  • @UrbanSekai Just show up at the scheduled audition time, fill-out a application and wait to audition ^^

  • wait u said not forcing them anymore which means they did before????

    and if u don't know korean are u still able to tryout or audition. cuz i not like common hello and stuff but do u have to be like korean or??

  • @starmaker28 i don't think so but i'm not entirely sure. i say this cause amber from f(x) and hankyung from Super Junior didn't know much korean before they debuted and i think they (well, atleast amber) are in the process of learning korean.

  • wait u said not forcing them anymore which means they did before????

    and if u don't know korean are u still able to tryout or audition. cuz i no like common hello and stuff but do u have to be like korean or??

  • -So.....what if you lie about your nationality, like ur an American,but you look Chinese....& you tell them ur Chinese....will that be okay?

    -if you do get in, & they tell you to come to korea for training, how long does it take you to actually get casted in a group?

    - btw,thanks alot! im sorry u were held back from ur dream....although it was just infront of you.... ~

  • @SnsdTaraFx idk if lying is a good path 2 go... but i can tell u that some trainees form in2 groups within 2months of training (like ryeowook of super junior) and sum have been SM scouts (thats wat they call the trainees that r 10 and under) for years and finally make their debutes (jessica of SNSD, yoona of SNSD krystal of f(x)) it rly is based on skill luck and personality. personally i ould rather be a song producer than the star itself, + idk if they count indians as asians :/

  • i am korean.i can understand,read and speak a little.is tht alright?cuz i cant speak tht much.

  • i am korean.i can understand,read and speak a little.is tht alright?cuz i cant speak tht much.

  • @shineesnsdbeastfan It's better than nothing ^^

  • what happend if you are not korean but your are asian ... and you don't know how to speak korean? Like I heard from people that if you dont know any korean languages they gonna train you there is that true ?

  • do they ask you your ethnicity? 'Cause i'm not asian at all but i'm constantly getting mistaken as being Filipino. Do you think they would withdraw you if they found out you weren't asian?

  • what's your nationality by the way?I'm guessing that you're Filipino. :DD

  • @Takuhiroharada27 lol, do I look hat dark? xD haha, I'm Viet actually ^^

  • @NaomeaStarlight no,it's because of your physical features on the face and your english accent is very similar to us Filipinos.we're not really that dark actually,just sayin' :)

  • Thanks for the answers ~~

    BTW. Is that DBSK's 'Lovin You' playing in the background? c: xD

  • Hey, i am totally not asian. No asian blood in me but i love kpop/krock, i have many asian friends and love alot of asian products and shows etc. You said that if you look asian your more likely to get looked at, but I have really big blue eyes. and no asian looking features except dark hair lol. I am teaching myself korean. Would I have any chance? Btw i am in australia. Thanks ^^

  • DO YOU NEED TO HAVE DOUBLE EYE LID TO BECOME FAMOUS AT KOREA?? LIKE FOR GIRLS?

  • @superduperlovly nope c:

    One of the girls from Kara (girl band) has an inner eyelid as her 'attractive point'.

    D. Eyelids aren't compulsory. C:

  • @aznneon ohh thank you.

  • @superduperlovly and also Ga-In has a monolid but she's really beautiful without having any double eyelid :)

  • and wht's the email of sm that i will send a vid?? do i need to tell them my age?? my name and etc...?

  • @donghaeloveful usaaudition@smtown.com and yes, you need to fill-out the application requirements ^^

  • what if i'm not korean?? i'm from phil.. can i still audition??

  • @donghaeloveful Yes ^^

  • Did u make the auditions?

  • dammit, you gotta pay for your expenses when your not apart of the family? there's a turn down already...

  • I am Indian, but i am working on learning korean. If i audition, do i have any chance of getting in? I received an email from SM saying that i should audition for the global auditions that are coming up soon, but i need to know if it would be possible for me to audition. I need to buy plane tickets and stuff :/ thanks :)

  • i'm 13 and i live in the usa and want to know that if you pass all parts to the auditions that do you need to buy your own ticket when you become a trainee in south korea to go over there????

  • i want to know, i'm only 13in the usa and want to know after you pass all the auditions and you became a trainee and need to go to south korea do you need to pay for the ticket yourself

  • Erm... When audition... Is better if u sing english songs or chinese songs? Because i can sing both language, and i'm a malaysian pure asian looks and good in singing... =D

  • Oh and which singer/songs do you recommend to audition that SM prefer? thanks alot and sry for asking too much :/

  • Can u pls specifically tell me what you did for your few rounds of auditions that you passed? cos i saw some idol's pre-debut auditions, and they have to audition on a stage.. Also, for example if the auditionee is very pretty but with lmost okay voice or dance skills, does she have a higher chance of getting in rather than a not so good looknig person but with nice vocals and dance skills? thanks alot for ur help! (:

  • what song did u sing ? cuz like i wonder if u need to song tht gives u more power to your voice ?

  • Comment removed

  • I need an honest opinion: I'm part Chinese and part Peruvian i have been mistaken for Asian a few times. I'm a decent dancer and have been complimented on my dancing by every one who has seen me dance {sorry if i come off as narcissistic}, i did ballet when i was very young for a few years though not anymore i am still quite flexible and my singing if not too horrible for the ears XD would i stand a chance? BTW i am still very young

  • Thank you so much for your videos. They have been VERY helpful for me.

  • @kiawwwna Sure thing ^^

  • What if you have like a small scar? Would they be picky about that? Cuz I have a small scar on the left corner of my eye...

  • what do you do in the rounds?

    like do you have to dance sing or act, anything like that??

    what happens in the final round, what do you do??

  • errrrr! i was kinda wondering.... i wanted to audition for SM as well! but i dont live in the States or Korea so i tried to send them and Email.

    But the stupid thing say no more than 100MB so do you have any other suggestion how i could audition?

  • @NeNCHIDOT try ulpoad your video on youtube or tinypic,or something like that and send your link...i did that,and it works:) good luck on you audition!!

  • @mikiloveth oh! okay thankz. never realy thought about that! :)

  • @NeNCHIDOT u're welcome:) i did the same thing too:)

  • about how many people pass each audition?

  • @xflyingpigx

    You never know....as how many are qualified too ^^

  • @NaomeaStarlight  I have a question how many audition do you have to pass to be able to be a trainee? and

  • Ummmm if you audition SM USA cuz haha I'm non-korean

    do they make you go to Korea or do they train you in the US?

  • @VietFireLove you dont audition for SM USA. SM USA is only for when people debut in America. You audition for Sm Entertainment not the USA. And im guessing your viet right? Well your asian so your okay. And they train you in Korea.

  • @GahEul19

    Actually no, You can Audition in SM USA but still debut in Korea. All audition resulted trainees train for a Korean debut 1st always. A US debut is only for those artist who have achieved in Korea and Japan already~

  • @NaomeaStarlight Oh really? Sorry I guess the website that I get information from about SM Auditions is wrong.

  • @GahEul19 NaeomeaStarlight said that all training is in Korea. You can't debut in Usa. O,o

  • @xluvxbugx You know like BoA. Yeah. SHe debut in America. I mean you debut in america or japan when your doing great.

  • @VietFireLove

    SM training are only in Korea~

  • @NaomeaStarlight hi sis Naomea, i asked u a question before. (i subscribed~~)

    there's this gurl claimed herself for being an sm trainee in Korean Town, NY...but as u said, the only training is stationed in Korea. then this girl must be a netizen?

  • @VietFireLove Train you in Korea~ There is no SM they are just renting out a hotel room.

  • Do you think 17 or 18 years old is too old to audition. I want to finish highschool first then go audition and continue education over there. I heard that Henry Lau from Super Junior M goes to an American universtiy and Kim Yuna goes to a korean university while she is in Toronto. Am i allowed to do that also? And whats the background music. I know its an instrumental though.

  • @GahEul19 the age limit is 5-20. :)

  • @xxmilkixx Thank You!

  • Umm i'm not sure if anyone has asked you this question but how many non-asian people did you see there all the times that you auditioned? And did they have talent or did they stand out any? And also what can help you stand out more in a positive way, esp. If you are a non-asian (i'm not asian but i could go one lol)?

  • I was always wanting to audition, and I've been learning Korean for ages. I was always told I can't do it because I'm a 5'9 blonde girl. . ____________ .

  • wow. thanks soo much (: this helped me alot.

  • ummm please answer me.

    to be able to audition do yu have to know how to speak korean?

    because i was thinking that if yu do realy good in dancing or singing, yu become a trainee and they teach yu korean while yur training

  • wow you really answered all my questions! Thank you! :)

  • heyy...i'm korea and i'm lillipad's friend(grace) and my name is kristy....

    1. during the sm audition,.....do u hav to speak in korean?

    2. my parent's r both from south korea......and theyc were wondering,.....if ur famous, and u travel the world a lot.........

    3. r u a trainy, famous, or u just know the info?

  • do u gotta b skinny? o.o

  • Can you figure out how auditions work in Australia?

    Since they have to see us in person.

  • @iiSuperRawr u hav to get to the live audition. they don't do auditions in australia cuz i guess there's not a lot of asians there? doesn't matter wat u do to get there. they don't care how u get there

  • hi, can i audition for BOTH singing and dancing? >.<

    cuz singing is okay to me, but im afraid they gonna put a random song and make me dance to it, and i'll just stand there looking dumb. so i'd choose to bring a my own CD, which i practiced dancing for whole year xD will they lower my score because i've prepared the CD instead of a surprised random song?

  • Comment removed

  • OMG thank you for saying Amber is "Taiwanese-American" ,so many people think she is from China(Chinese)

  • can i audition even though i'm vietnamese?

  • I wanna audition so bad! But my eyebrows make me look indian! ): lol.

  • will they come to singapore?

  • @lovenickfan101

    That info's pending^^

  • @NaomeaStarlight ahh...i'm so anxious ]: my friends say i have a good voice, but i'm so nervous ]:

  • @NaomeaStarlight i went to bangkok once, and the doorman said hello to me in korean xD haha so i guess that's cool xD

  • I really want to do the audition .. Im chinese living in the philippines... At least some people mistake me as a korean girl.. Hahaha except im only 14 yrs old -.- it's more like impossible... And if i dont pass.. I think it would be really hard to move on..........… but then... At least i tried.. right?..

  • do you work for SM? O.o....or are you at least a trainee?

  • When you audition to dance, do

    they just put random music and

    you have to dance, or do you

    choose your own music to dance to?

    And when you sing, do they make you

    audition for dancing too? Can you

    audition for more than one thing?

    EXAMPLE: Singing AND dancing?

    Thanks for uploading! :D

  • @XtremePUnKrockstar

    If your auditioning in Dance your allowed to bring your own CD for music^^ Yes, you may audition in more than one thing ~

  • how do you know all this stuff?

  • @araasmile

    umm...website, experience, friends and workers xD

  • im half chinese and half filipino do you think i can audition?

  • if you were singing for the SM audition can u sing a Korean song like SNSD, Kara or any other Korean songs?? Or can u sing any other songs that are Vietnamese, Japanese, or American???

  • @Hp5461

    You can sing any song but it's best to keep away from the Songs made by Artist by the same Company your Auditioning for ^-^

  • if ur indian(asian) and have brown skin, can u still audition?

  • Will SM go to Hong Kong to have audition?

    At what age they will start to think you're too old?

  • @selinaleung9601

    Starting at 25.

  • So you have to look asian to audition? like you cant be like Ameerican or anything like that????????????

  • @3peopleand1dog

    Well, they aren't going to stop you from Auditioning xD But for a American; auditioning for an American Entertainment Company would give them a better chance. right?

  • soo u dont have 2 be asian 2 audition? cuz Im half mexican and half white..but  alot of ppl think im asian cuz i look asian! Even my mom says i look asian! So it would be better 2 learn korean before i auditon? Is it very scary? and how old do u have 2 be to be able 2 audition? and 1 more question...is it bad that u r really shy? cuz i am kinda shy at first but then i would get use 2 easly!

  • when you went to your first audition did they ask you a lot of questions?

  • @jennyheartsyoux3

    No, the 1st audition was rather fast from what I remember...wither it was the nerves or what not it was alot faster than the 2nd round cause that's where they ask all the questions one on one.

  • another one.... what type of song we can sing?cause not all malaysian know to sing korean song.and another one...do we have to go to sm website and register first?

  • how tf do you look asian if youre not asian

    ?? wtf

  • @olivia18888

    My friend....100% American blood...but has non-double lid eyes. Dyed her hair a bit darker and she was mistaken for being Asian all the time. The little thing that can be changed make people look like other nationalities.

  • @NaomeaStarlight so if you have single eyelids you're asian? jeez

  • @olivia18888

    I'm not implying the stereotype that all Asians have single eyelids, I'm just saying there are some cases where people do look like other nationalities other than what the are. So don't be putting words in my month.

  • @NaomeaStarlight *mouth

    okay. whatever.

    btw what experience do you have?

  • @NaomeaStarlight im dutch but people say i dont look like a dutch person hehe

  • i am not chinese but i am malay girl can enter too???

  • @481058hanjeah

    Yes ^-^

  • @NaomeaStarlight Hey, if you audition through sending a video, what do you do when you get into higher rounds? Send another video? or if you actually get to the final round, do you get sent anywhere?

  • how many auditions are there in total before the casting one? and thanx so much for this info vid!

  • @St0rmzEkh0

    Depending on the ones you count...usually 3.

  • hello :D i have some questions n i hope that eu can help me!! i'm 15 years old this year, am i too old for the audition?i planned to take part in the email audition...& i sent some question to them,seems like they didn't reply me. did they marked me as spam? hmm... is it very Super DUPLE hard to pass the audition?! & how many videos n photo must i upload to the email which i want to send? thanks :D

  • @iBabyXD of course u can still audition the limit age is like 24 or 28 XD

  • So SM used to force people to do plastic surgery?

  • @funnykevin57

    Most of the artist ask for it, not so much force. Sometimes they suggest thing. And back then: they'd say if you don't get this done...there's no chance you'll debut; something like that. So it was considered force. But they don't do that anymore ^-^

  • i wan to ask a question that if i have sent my email audition to sm entertainment the thing is that how long must i wait to get a reply???

  • I just want to say you're awesome and really helpful ^^

  • can a Filipino audition?I mean Filipinos are also Asians right?

  • @cutetrollzy

    Yes ^-^ And it doesn't really matter what Asian nationally you are. As long as you know the Korean language for communication in the country...your fine ^-^

  • naomea what do you mean by passing the second audition???

    do you mean there will be two auditions?

    if i am not mistaken is the first audition: post audi.

    and the second one is:live audi.??plsss answer me i have lots of questions need to be answered...

  • @freya150

    Yes, there's about 3 rounds of auditions ^-^

  • I have a question. is it true that you need plastic surgery when you pass and become official trainees of SM Entertainment? Do they train non-Koreans to learn korean language? Did they say whether you passed or not? how long will they respond?

    please reply asap!!!!!! :D thanks

  • @paulaBianca14

    lol, you don't have to get plastic surgery to become an official trainee. You only get it if you want it xD Yes, if talent got you into SM...they will teach you Korean ^-^

  • i have a question my video for some reason wont attach to my email since im doing an email audition can i jsut give them the link???????????

  • @misssweetatheart

    yes, this problem. It's because the video file is too big. Even if you keep the 3 minuet limit on the audition video. It still won't right? All you have to do is upload it on YouTube (or some other video host site) and send them the link ^-^

  • so ummm.....i want to audition but I'm under 16, I'm living in the US, I can't speak Korean (I'm Hmong) and I'm not as skinny as the artists there, so I have a question about the weight thingy...will they not cast you just because you're 'over-weight'?

  • @jaemingirl

    Well, during the training...they will work you so hard, you'd have a porblem with not getting too skinny. You shouldn't be worried about weight unless your "un-healthy over-weight".

  • Hey! Just a question, they say that sm email auditions are forever open, does that include are the countries excluding USA and Korea? Plus, IF i made it through the auditions without telling my parents and only tell my parents after being told i have to go over, its okay right?

  • @freshpearls

    That's what I did, it'll be cool if your parents get all excited and support you ^-^ But if your parents are against everything like mine were...they can't do anything about it if your under-aged. So it depends on your parents...I'd say tell them before you do anything cause they're effected too :/

  • omg a ticket!i thought they pay for us! I dont think my paretns will pay............geuess I l have to save up now....

  • @ChErRyandChOcOlAt

    Well, if you think about it....if SM pays for every person that happens to pass the 1st or second audition. If your not a trainee yet, it won't benefit them xD

  • I thought Amber was Chinese-American?

    Thanks for doing this video, by the way really interesting ^ ^

  • @themilkclub

    no, she's Taiwanese-American ^-^ But in Taiwan, they speak Mandarin Chinese...so it's easy to mix it up xD haha ^-^

  • naomea !! can i have a question ? my friends and i wanna audition.. can we audition as a group ?? oh please reply asap.. we're planning to audition via email very very soon ..

  • @TheOoze31

    ahhmm..please dont mind if im going to answer for that.. ahhmm.. i think yes.. i saw a vid that there is a group of girls who auditioned.. just check it here,,

    2006 SM global auditon _ Los Angeles.. ^^

  • @TheOoze31

    It's alright, yes. It'll be harder though :/ But it's allowed ^-^

  • Are you saying that if you're not Asian and don't look Asian, there are no chances of you making it? Or doe
