I see many replies like this around here and I wonder if people in the west get punished for skipping school or something?
It's not the end of the world if you skip a day, especially to go for an audition lol.

I have ONE thing to say to that asian-only requirement:

I don't think it's racist. It's already something that they don't mind other Asian races. It's SM Entertainment. They are looking for singers that will perform in Korea. It's normal IMO that they only want Asians.

[minna]

wow avex too?
I didn't know that !!! that is really great
and they even pay the travel expenses & hotel !


although you have to know japanese but they accept you even if you don't. there's a special website for it

wow really great. even better than SM
*wish I could participate...XD would like to..but....dunno...*

[Hazuki]

I'm wondering if they'll pick more than one person.
Because last time was only Henry Lau from Toronto, I think..

Oh~ Avex's audition page looks so fancy x]
I think I'll try for Avex too~!

Well, that depends. Last year when I went, I had someone sign a note
to the school so I didn't get in trouble.
Obviously, the note didn't say I went for an audition,
I'd get in trouble for that lol.

&&; The date changed or something O_O
Toronto is on a Saturday..
WHATTT~ I'M GOINNGG! 8DDD

Last year I went, but I didn't audition,
I got dragged by someone hahaha XD

[Dustie]

The only thing is Avex accepts people from Asia/Japan... That's kinda odd, since the locals already have their own auditions, don't they? Meaning if you go for the international audition you're also gonna be competing against Asians/Japanese, which kinda leaves you out, becouse obviously they're gonna be better at singing their native languages and 'looking Asian', lol... The should just make it 'for foreginers only'.

I doubt any non-Asian person will get through :/

And there was this US/World SM audition last year, right? Anyone heard a word about the results?...

We write 'excuse notes' here, it used to be a pain in the bottom, but once you're over 18, you can technically write them yourself And even when I wasn't, I would fake my dad's writing and signature XD

OMG Hazuki!!!!! I wish you the best of luck! Sing your heart out!

[AyUta]

I would love to try out but I seriously got to work on my image and vocal skills before I try to go anywhere in that department

[MeruChan]

I wanna try! huhu..i saw malaysia but it's last year during December! I seriously wanna try out!

[Fair Wind]

I'm going to the Tdot one.

Not much is known about results simply because the people who get in usually do not talk about it (as most Krn companies do not want them to).

SM isn't discriminating. They ask for asians, but actually, they let anyone audition (I've seen non-asians audition). It's just that they are looking for asians because China seems to be the next biggest market over there.

You don't have to worry about the looks!!
When SM came here, Henry was picked, he didn't exactly look like he does now~
He looks different, like hairstyle, clothes, etc..
Yeah, he's cute and all but they don't pick based on what you look,
they really picked him because he has talent <3

Waaa~ Over 18 can write for themselves? ;o
For us, mostly they didn't care WHO wrote it,
as long it was there
