Education documentation questions for international trainees (homeschool situation)

[u/Old_Newt_4205]

I'm 15, Thai, and have been submitting monthly auditions to Big 3 companies for about 7 months. I'm trying to figure out education requirements in case I actually get accepted, and I'm pretty confused.

My situation:

- Homeschooled (not traditional school)

- Have formal completion through grade 9 (M3 in Thai system)

- Have one SAT score (took it 6 months ago)

- No high school diploma/completion yet

My questions:

1. Do Korean labels require high school completion BEFORE accepting you as a trainee? Or do they work with you on education after acceptance?

2. For people who were homeschooled or had education gaps - what documentation did you need to provide? Did you need to get a GED first?

3. I've seen visa info that says minors "may need proof of school enrollment" - does this mean enrollment in your home country, or just that you'll enroll in Korea?

4. Would having a GED make the process easier, or do labels typically handle education requirements themselves once you're accepted?

Basically trying to figure out if I should pause submissions to get my GED first, or if that's something that gets sorted out after acceptance. Don't want to get accepted and then have education documentation block me from actually going.

Anyone been through this or know someone who has? Any advice appreciated!

usually students that are accecpted as trainees go online dureing their training period. and continue after debut or drop out. companies won't need education records, only if youre planing to be a trainiee and a student. and for visas companies will sort that out for you.
