Everyone knows that being an idol is very difficult, but also being a trainee!
The strict expectations entertainment companies have for the people they want means that many are turned away at each audition round.
The “Big 3” entertainment companies have been strict with their audition processes that often accept only one or two people from each round.
JYP Entertainment has turned away many individuals, including IU, BTS’s J-Hope and EXO’s Xiumin.
Hence, many fans are curious about any tips and advice that they could follow to succeed in their K-Pop audition.
During a recent live broadcast, Stray Kids’ Seungmin was asked for any advice he could give for those who wanted to try out for a K-Pop audition.
Seungmin reiterated that the most important thing was that anyone going into an audition should show the best of themselves.
“Don’t try to act like someone else, just be who you are and show yourself.“
While it may be tempting for an auditionee to show what they think the entertainment company wants, Seungmin highlights that this isn’t a good idea. Believe it or not, if one gets into an entertainment company that’s based on a “persona”, then sooner or later, that is going to wear off, and the entertainment company will later realise that trainee’s true colors.
“Whether it’s an interview or an audition, pretending to be someone you’re not doesn’t last long. Maybe because it’s the first time, you’ll want to try and do well but that’s not necessary at all”
Hence, Seungmin went in to his audition wanting to showcase his true self. Doing so, meant that the entertainment company knew who he was and the confidence he has in his skills.
“You should take pride in yourself! I think that’s how I took my audition. I just thought, “I’m going to show everything that I’ve got! It can’t be helped if they don’t like me, but I’m going to show myself and be who I am!
