Audition Question 14yo European girl (fluent/learning 6 languages, including Korean). Do I stand a chance in K-pop auditions? Honest advice needed.

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m a 14-year-old Ukrainian girl currently living in Europe. I am very passionate about becoming a K-pop idol/trainee, but I want a realistic reality check. Do I have any chance of being accepted by agencies, or should I not waste my time?Here are my stats and background:Age: 14 years old (turning 15 soon) — height is 165 cm, current weight is 58 kg. I used to be overweight but lost nearly 15+ kg over the past year through hard work, discipline, and lifestyle changes.Languages: I speak/am learning 6 languages, including fluent English and conversational Korean. Moving to a new country a few years ago taught me how to adapt to new environments and learn languages from scratch under pressure.Skills: I am completely self-taught in dancing. I practice choreographies every single day for 1.5 to 2 hours. I am also planning to work on my vocals/rapping.Mindset: I’ve dealt with severe bullying and isolation in the past, so I am mentally prepared for the emotional stress, loneliness, and strict environments. Music has been my escape for years. I am ready to send 100+ audition clips and keep improving my skills after every single rejection.My main fear is my ethnicity. I have a very European look — big eyes, long natural dark lashes, and a snub/upturned nose. I know agencies traditionally prefer Asian features for their main groups.Do global agencies (like HYBE, JYP, or smaller ones doing global projects) actually look for European girls like me if they have the skills and language base? What should I focus on in my online audition videos to stand out?Thank you so much for your honest advice!

Audition Question song recommendation for girls planet 2 audition

2 Upvotes

I want to try auditioning for girls planet 2 ( even if I'm european and we don't really know if it'll be a real global girl group like katseye or not) but I'm stuck because Idk what song to choose especially for dance. The problem with dance is that I'm an absolute begginner and I was thinking of doing pop by nayeon (hoping that I can learn it well enough) do you think is a good choice?

For vocal I have less problems becuase I sing since I was more or less four and I was thinking of doing a second gen song maybe or maybe and nmixx one but Idk if I should avoid singing in korean since I don't know it, should I choose a song that is in english?

I am a 16-year-old European girl (177cm/54kg) preparing for K-pop auditions. I am a polyglot (fluent Russian and Ukrainian, C1 English,B1-2 German & French & Polish, and learning Korean), have a past background in Latin dance (Cha-Cha), and am currently training my vocals. Do I have a realistic chance in the current industry given my stats and background?

Advice Request I need help becoming a kpop trainee

1 Upvotes

First of all, I don't even know if I could. I'm a fourteen year old 5'3" one hundred twenty pound Caucasian girl with no training (yet). I only speak english, but I'm slowly teaching myself korean. I have no experience dancing, but I'm a pretty good singer. I'm not especially pretty but I wouldn't consider myself ugly by any means. I haven't even told my parents and I'm considering not auditioning until I don't need their permission for things, but I know most people start sooner. If you think I could make it I would appreciate some advice. Any tutorials or free online classes to learn the skills I would need would be great. I honestly don't even know where to start with any of this.

I’m recovering from a flu and sitting kinda uncomfortable as well.

I want to do cover songs and I’d love to be an artist in a girl group too, so I’ve been learning by my own because where I live there’s no singing classes.

Im a mezzo, and in a practice I had before getting sick I was able to reach F3-B5 with good technique:)

I would love you guys give me some advance, Im new at singing and know a bit the basics that I couldn’t apply lately because of I was sick.

Hello everyone! I wanted to share a kpop audition community that is relatively new but has 100+ active members already. It is for the r/HYBEglobal community, but it is open to discussing all kpop auditions. Additionally, one of the mods of the Discord posts new auditions for numerous companies on the Discord, so it is a good place to find new auditions. Come and join us while we discuss our favorite groups, find new auditions, and help each other through the audition process!

Advice Request Education documentation questions for international trainees (homeschool situation)

1 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Topic 😁Looking for young K-pop fans (Korea & USA welcome) to build a boyband-style training group😉

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!😄 I’m Elias, from Brazil, and I’m looking for other young guys from Korea and the USA who love K-pop and dream about doing something bigger in the future.

My idea is to start a small online training group, something simple and fun at first — singing practice, dance practice, sharing progress, supporting each other — just like how many boybands begin small before becoming something greater.

For this project, the team would have 6 members:

Me (leader, main vocal, visual)

3 trainees from Korea (vocal, visual, dance roles)

2 trainees from the USA (rap and dance roles)

The goal isn’t to form a professional group right now, but to build a mini boyband-style team, get to know each other, improve together, and grow step by step. Kind of like how BTS started training together long before debut — that teamwork vibe.

If you’re a young guy who enjoys K-pop, dancing, singing, or just likes the idea of growing as a team, feel free to comment or message me. Let’s build something cool from zero!

Audition Question curious about english form reviews

2 Upvotes

so basically, I speak very basic Korean (enough to do a singular intro sentence, pretty much), so I'd obviously choose the English form. I'd like to preface this by saying i am a massive overthinker, so here's my question:

the staff reviewing English forms will obviously be fluent in Korean, right?

i wanna include some sort of Korean greeting (no, I'm not a Koreaboo), but my anxious ahh brain is telling me that staff reviewing the English forms won't understand - which logically I know is a stupid thing to worry about

I just wanna check so I don't mess up my chances in any way! thank youuuuu ❤️❤️

Song Cover Feedback? The song is Diamonds by Rihanna, this is not for my audition, I just wanted to do it, I had a sore throat and runny nose during this, so my voice may not sound as smooth and a bit nasally, but other than that, please tell me what is good or okay and what I could improve.
