sharing my experience
so i went to korea this summerand i applied for the yg online audition this summer.
i surprisingly passed 1st rounds! i made it to live auditions
unfortunately, i didn't pass 2nd rounds =(
so close to becoming a trainee >.<
haha well i'm not giving up!
ok back on track
there were apparently 2 sets of 2nd round live auditions in seoul.
from what one of the guys on the casting team told me,
on sunday july 18th, 12 pm, about 25-30 kids came to audition
and then at 6:30 in the evening, i counted about 18 kids came.
so in total about 40-50 kids were chosen for 2nd rounds out of 5000+ applicants (just for seoul).
The guy also told me that the kids who came in the afternoon were the ones
who were borderline picked
and the kids who came in the evening were the ones who were definitely picked. (i was in that group ^^)
so we went, and exactly at 6:30 pm, the team had everyone line up in front of a table outside the building
and we had to give them our CD (prepared MR of korean, pop and dance music) and show them our ID.
after that, one of the guys on the team takes you to the side and takes a couple of pictures of you.
then we went inside the building basement to wait.
the room was SO nice! there was a black glass waterfall and the team gave us vitamin water.
so we waited until about 7:45 for the audition to start cuz we were waiting for one of the judges to arrive...
IT WAS YANG HYUN SEOK HIMSELF!! (thats the YG president)
because he arrived so late tho, they canceled the dance portion and said they would only hear vocals.
we went in by groups of 3 and its not like those global auditions where its really quick and you
do your stuff and just leave. The President actually takes time to get to know you
and it was really fun!
Although i was nervous cuz i was the last to go in my group of 3
so i actually had to listen to all the ppl be super talented...
i was ecstatic cuz this means that he knows i exist and i actually got the chance to talk to him!
so he basically asked PR questions
What are you good at?
did you take lessons?
what are your hobbies?
etc etc...
then you do your stuff.
i sang gavy nj's theres no such thing as love, and he told me "you sing well." (^^ i was dyingg haha)
then you were dismissed and left.
on the way out, the team gave everyone the yg audition poster!
haha i think i covered everything...
if anyone has any questions, feel free to comment below!
