i think youll do fine. your persistent and able to self promote effectively to a wider market then most given your ability to speak english especially when it spills over to the US to a larger degree.
My mom: I want u to be happy and do what u want Also my mom: *forces me to play piano and make me that one goody-two-shoes cause her other two children are "messed up"* *i've never told my parents that I want to be an idol. my sister likes kpop too, and if she ever asked them first, then i'd ask, cause she'd think i'm stupid if i asked
This girl is literally my twin because: -stage fright -don't know how to dance -cannot sing -introverted personality - still want to audition for a kpop company
Asian parents upon new borns: "He's gonna be an Engineer" "She's gonna be a Doctor" "He is going to attend business school when he grow up" "She will marry my bestfriend's baby too" And the rest is history
oh shit, the parents part hits too close to home. i desperately wanted to have singing lessons and learn instruments when i was a kid but my mother was like ugh, you're wasting my money, leave me alone - so i bought an ukulele when i got into university. i still can't play but it's mine and no one talks shit about me when i sing along loudly anymore, so there's that.
I did the same, though with a guitar!!! There are a lot of online resources to learn! I’m still pretty bad with guitar, but it’s been really fun so far. I might get a uke soon tho cause my hands are a little too small for the guitar
Oh i feel so sorry for you, in my case it's the opposite she really encourages me and wants me to learn how to play piano and violon and i'm not gonna lie i really wanna be a kpop singer and dancer i already know how to dance but i'm really bad at singing , i've already talked about that with my mom, she doesn't really like the idea but she said :" if it's what you really want to do, then go for it" but she will let me audition after my studies and i agreed with that . PS: i'm learning korean as well
Im black and i told my parents i want to be a dancer like ballet/tap... and my mom through a timberland boot at me and said “ no dancer ! Be dentist/lawyer/doctor “. I take the MCATS in a couple of months lmaooo
My mom surprisingly agreed to me auditioning and my whole family is supporting me, especially my aunt. I will audition soon.. for Cube, JYP and Pledis. Do you maybe have other entertainment suggestions? UPDATE: yes, i did get an invitation from CUBE to audition locally, but we couldn’t afford it :) thanks for the support everyone ❤️
"you dont need to be exceptionally good at singing" "you need rhythm" "you need confidence" me: looks at everyone in SM Nah, I think you just gotta be SUPERRRRRR pretty.
@@beehive8352 ya. SM has probably the best training. Their home to some of the best dancers and vocalists in kpop. Plus a lot of their idols were exceptionally beautiful but were trained.
Every company is a powerhouse of vocals and talent. There are artists that were not the size that are considered to be "pretty" And yet got selected for their talent by sm. I don't know what your intention was for this but if you're trying to shame the company, you have also undermined decades of hard work of artists. Artists that have been globally praised today, mind you. And are undeniably talented and yes heavenly beautiful. Also the one of the very, very few overweight idols in the industry is from SM.
No no .... I'm also an Asian but my parents are not at all like this -- "be a doctor" ...... they are like do that in which your interest is and you will definitely be succesfull.... Yeah but they are very punctual about their children ....
I’m planning on auditioning For JYP in a few months or maybe next year I really hope I get accepted I’ve been into singing for 7 years I’m 14 now and there open to foreigners which makes it great...Thanks for the tips!
Panda Meme backup singer? Let me audition first and see if I get accepted😅😅 and you have to audition for being a back up singer...there many companies like Yg,Cube,Sm but I chose JYP cause they accept foreigners:)
I really like this video. There are a lot of video just saying how successful they were but u actually say that u got cut off. I really appreciate this and I m glad that u r successful now. 💜 another thing is that ur always so encouraging.
Me: Mom i think i actually want to become a Kpop Idol Mom: um, okay? Me: *explains an online audition* Mom: HELL NO! YOU ARENT GOING TO *KOREA* WITHOUT ME BEING WITH YOU! Me: uh, what did you think was going to happen?
Same here. I can't even convince my parents about being a K-pop idol. I don't know why study is always first for Asian parents why not the talent they only think that only study can help you to do something in your life.
I can't believe your mom even took the TIME TO RESPOND mine just look back at her phone and ligit said:" Maybe if I ignore her she will go away" Am so thankful me dad let me audition then again he has little hope that they would accept me
Hey there --> I don't know if you remember me, but I was on "Born to be a Star" with you and hearing you talk about it brought back all those anxious feelings, haha. Such a bizarre experience! Glad to see you doing so well with your music these days. :-)
if I tell my parents I really want to become a kpop idol, my dad will literally make sit down and he would lecture me for like an hour on why I should get a “real” job instead of doing this kpop stuff, and my mom makes fun of kpop idols anyway and she also hates the idea, so at this point, I’m just really confused. I also have more trust issues with my family than with other ppl in general, it’s hard, but I’ll just try.
Me: Mom i want to be a kpop idol Mom: Okay Dad: *NO* you are too young Mom: ... Me: ... Me: Dad im 13, even jisung debuted at the age of 14 that’s so unfair
@Watashida shourai sohyun from Orange debuted at age 12.There is also Shu Yang from boy story who debuted at age 10.I wouldn’t be surprised if a 8 year old managed to debut at this point.
I actually understand what you're talking about. Most African parents don't believe in a career in showbiz. It wasn't until this year that my mum was ready to admit I was talented at singing. Before that she'd say it was a waste of time. You can imagine my shock when she told me that. I decided to start out small. I already submitted an audition tape last week to one of my country's TV Channels. I haven't heard from them yet, but I really hope that even if I don't, i'll keep moving on. I know I have a lot of work to do in terms of vocal strength and growth, and I think that is what I am going to focus on to make myself better. I really love singing and my goal is to go on a world tour before I die (if God wills it). Meanwhile, I am posting covers on karaoke apps and having fun. Thank you for making this update. I appreciate it.
@@prisciloperson8476 one of my favourite Kenyan artistes still lies to his dad about singing part time yet he is doing it full time and goes on tours with his bandmates. His parents still ask him when he's getting a "real job."
I really feel that. My mom is really supportive, but whenever I bring up being a freelance artist and writer, she always says that what I want to do can just be a “hobby” because it’s not stable enough
Me: Hey mom, if I auditioned and I got accepted to a company in Korea would you let me go? Mom: No are you stupid. Who would even go with you? Me: I don’t know, you? Dad: What did she ask? Mom: If she could go to Korea... Me: (embarrassed) Dad: Are you stupid I literally want to be a kpop idol but my parents are also super against it 😂
What you said about even if people can sing really good the fright or lack of confidence can kinda ruin their audition really got to me. I remember I auditioned for vocals at this local Fine Arts School and I was so terrified during my audition that my legs were violently trembling and my voice cracked at one point and I immediately started crying once I exited the room. Not long after, I auditioned for a bigger and harder school for a 2-week summer discovery program that covered the whole state and they were only accepting 12 people out of hundreds to audition. I was much more confident and though still nervous and shaky, I didn’t actually think I did bad. I made the audition and while it made me upset i didn’t make the other, I was ecstatic and a bit proud to see I improved and made an even harder audition. I’ve always had a lack of confidence and tend to self loathe a lot, but seeing a huge inspiration like you go from repeatedly failing auditions to become the outstanding singer/rapper you are today gives me more confidence and motivation to continue my passion! I love you Grace, keep killing it!! 💛💫🔥
Dad: be a lawyer Me: but i wanna be an idol Dad: being an idol is useless, get a stable job Me: but dad! C-can you please atleast let me attend dance and vocal lessons? Dad: no, it would be a waste
@슈가리 why though?? It's a good opportunity or if you aren't comfortable then take it on home by watching your faves I do the same thing 😂 introvert thingy you know
@슈가리 you can if you believe and want to and taking out 20 or 10 minutes from a busy schedule is not so much so I think you should try at least you'll be satisfied that you tried
i have born in wrong continent and country 😭 sorry for edit, but if i born in USA , my parents won't be rude . and i want to be half American and half Korean . that's all .
Wahh Jennie unnie has the same earrings like her but in yellow she wore them in Blackpink’s billboard interview. Edit: Thanks for the tips I appreciate all your videos they really help.
I wasn't notified about the premiere before it happened, but I'm watching it now! I love all of your kpop related videos because you're very real about it. I feel that you're 100% genuine and work very hard. Don't you ever stop girl!!! 💖
The part you started saying that you need someone to support you and none negative ppl was like the best part in this video and something the most don't think about
Idk what you guys think, but to me this was really inspiring: you don't often hear about people who have a dream they aren't naturally talented at but who made up by working hard and actually made it!! You're very inspiring Grace, thank you
Me: mom I want to be a kpop idol Mom: what kpop idol? Mr: well, it’s like you sing and dance and........ so can I be a kpop idol? Mom: hahaha u think you can sing and dance like them. Also me: *dances IDOL* ALSO MOM: GURL JUST GO WHEREVER U WANT
Me: Mom I want to audition for something Mom: Yeah. Me: But the thing is in Korea Mom: Corona we can't travel Me: Uhm next year? Mom: Ok Me: Omg thxxx 1 year later..... Me: Mom I want to be a K-pop idol Mom: No No No go.
Grace just from that start wow sometimes your born with certain skills other times you have to work hard you really have worked hard and it slowly improves and grows your talent like you show . I wish the best for you as a fan of you I thought you did great in unpretty rapstar even if you were still starting out I could see the practice and work you were putting in thanks for sharing ❤️👏👍
Me:mom imma audition Mom:no your too young Me:but thats the point I need to audition while I am young Mom:no you are going to study Me:okie then bye money Mom:money? Me:ye I will be rich Mom:ok then audition go I will support you Me:😎😂
I saw a clip of Unpretty Rap Star? (I think that’s what it’s called) where Kwon Hyun (Dean) arrived, I sorta want to know what you felt and what was it like meeting him? (He’s one of my favorite solo artist I hope you see this )
she talkef about this in one of her reacting videos already. All in all (from wht i remember) she said she was in complete shock when she had saw Dean.
@BTS ARMY well I have no problem with non-koreans being k-pop idol if learn and respect Korean culture but most of time they mistreated by their companies and discriminated. I like non-koreans in k-pop
My mum she will look away hoping that I'll just go to bed At least my dad agreed he is ok with moving especially that he doesn't need to pay for the tickets
Idk what I wanna do for my future atm. I plan on being a writer, but it's very possible for that to flop. I've been thinking about being a kpop trainee/idol since singing and dancing is something I enjoy (though my self esteem is so low that I don't really do it in front of other people). The general thing I want to do in the future is to make other people happy, so being a writer (I like to create story ideas) or a kpop idol looks enjoyable for me to do. I know being a kpop trainee is a very harsh life (intense dieting, strict training, tight schedules, contracts dictating my life, etc.), but if that allows me to be closer to making people smile and feel a little better, then it'd be worth it. Stuff like animated shows and kpop made me feel happier even for just a moment, so I wanna give that feeling to others as well. I don’t know if my parents would be okay with me wanting to be a kpop trainee/idol (they probably will tell me no) (aka, not going to college in 2 years right away), so I’m kind of hesitant to tell them. Right now, I’m trying to figure out when I should do what. I know that 16 is an ideal age to start training under a company, but I’m pretty sure that my parents would want me to at least get a high school diploma (I do as well). I’m still trying to figure out the best way to audition without using up too much money prior to graduating high school (I live in the mid-west, oof. Nowhere near California), and if I should take a one year break between high school and college to find a company. If anyone has tips, I’d be very thankful.
I also want to audition for a company but I don't know which one, if you're in the US some companies have global auditions. You can audition in some of those. There is also online auditions where you take videos of yourself dancing/singing and introducing yourself. If you pass those then, you have to go to Korea for the 2nd audition. But for the global auditions, they only happen like once a year or something like that.
Hey, you don't have to pay for the flight. You should do a online audition and if you're selected. They will pay for all your things, your visa and flight anything you buy.
So, I'm half Chinese and I was telling my mom about the global auditions JYP were holding that my friend suggested I should try. She "politely" disagreed. She started telling me how the celebrities now are really hard workers and all that ( she was indirectly telling me I cant sing). And now 4-5 months later I put up an English Cover of BTS Jimin's Promise on my channel and she LOVED IT and started off like "you have such a beautiful voice, if we get a trainer for you we can fix those flaws." and started planning things and I'm like ...Where was all this when I wanted to audition. Also, I dont know how to dance XD its not that I suck. Its that I actually dont know. But there is hope for me. I really wanna try and achieve this dream for myself.
@@ishtheswiftie13 I actually auditioned in 2019 for the girls global audition for BigHit (now known as HYBE) I never got called back but it was certainly a push out of my comfort level and a great experience in person🥰
@@ishtheswiftie13 not as of now :) I’m in a bit of a period where I’m not sure what I want to do. I thought it was singing but over the years it’s been a bit discouraging.
So yeah for people looking for a tactic to convince their parents, this is what worked with me: Sing a lot in front of them (show them you're talented) Record videos of you singing in front of them Always express how much you love singing Try to explain to them the genius training system of K-pop trainees And finally write a song for them in which you express your "future choice of career" confidently (do not ask for their opinion so that they take it for granted)
I’m planning to audition for the big 3 ents.and im full korean but I’ve been living on Guam my whole life. but I’m moving to korea by myself to live my dream. im 13 rn:) so I’m literally putting my whole childhood into this also but i hope it’ll be worth it ❤️😭 wish me luck!
I just hope you get accepted in one of YG or JYP , SM is a fucked up company and she will just release a new girl group so your time will be far away try YG anyways good luck ❤
Girl I love ur honesty!!! U r honestly such a great person and from listening to u about ur progress...girl u have definitely come such a long way and u have blossomed into such an incredible person!! I love ur videos and I love you!!!!😄😄😄
My 13 year old self watching all these as if I'm actually gonna audition. Im half korean/can speak Korean, no experience, but younger you can still learn but Im scared to actually try.. especially telling my parents this
Me Not even close to look Asian but I have a eye smile Doesn't give a whole oof about my skintone bc I wanna do what I wanna do And I can kinda dance I guess I can sing tho uWu I lack creativity
Watching this video definitely has encouraged me. I have been auditioning online for a while and have been getting discouraged and down on myself for literally everything. But seeing you able to proudly talk about times you didn't pass or felt you messed up made me think-- It isn't the end of the world if I don't pass and there is no reason to be so hard on myself. Sometimes it's not so much about the fall as it is about how you get up and dust yourself off... Maybe I just need to be more out there and get out of my comfort zone. Thank you so much for the video, as I think it helped me be a bit more confident. Have a nice day and stay healthy and happy.
Alaska Nightingle Good luck I want to follow my dreams to but I don’t think my mom wants to support me so I don’t know But good luck I hope u can make it in.
I would just love to be a trainee. To train singing and dancing with a whole company behind me. But I‘m black and 20 so... (I can speak korean tho).. they would never pick me.
ᅵ yeah, Greenland it’s really cold. But in the summer it’s hot sometimes☺️ only 56K people live in Greenland. And Greenland it’s a really small town/place. Sorry for my poor English😂
I'm 22 (looking way younger lol) and just had this same "click" on my mind about entertainment industry about three years ago, I auditioned for SM twice but obviously didn't pass even though the second time did help me to boost my confidence sososo much. I've also worked hard on getting my mom to accept this dream of mine and now she encourages me. Thank you for this video and your amazing content, Gracie! Love you lots, sending you big warm hugs from Argentina~
Me to parents : I want to be a kpop star Mommy: ask your dad Dad: ask your mom After 1 eternity Dad: ok fine what's that and how to audition Me: explains the whole thing Dad:- ok fine you can Me: YAHWHOOOOOO!
@Anushka Gaikwad looks don’t matter!!! They mostly just care about your confidence so that they can kinda mold you into an idol. Also you’re not really fully aged yet so you don’t look like what you’d look like in the future
!! ATTENTION !! What my research says for trainees for online Audition is, send your videos, audio clips and if by chance you get selected in online Audition they will send you tickets for South Korea (on email) and there you have to give 2nd round audition in South Korea as she said in the video but if you failed in that you need to return to your country with your tickets company will not provide you tickets to return back to the country..
ME: Dad, I wanna be kpop idol DAD: Be a doctor. ME: Mom, I wanna be kpop idol MOM: Yes you can ME: If I pass the audition, can I go to South Korea? MOM: Yes. ME: Where I gonna stay with? MOM: I dont know, 😑😑😑 ME: Where I gonna study korean? MOM: - Falls asleep -
You're amazing, definitely one of the most inspiring yotubers/artists I know! Your advices can work for anyone who has a dream, thank you so much for telling us this. ♡♡♡

Same i said i can be a doctor but it is dangerous what if happend thing like covid19
And they said be an engineer😡

Hey there --> I don't know if you remember me, but I was on "Born to be a Star" with you and hearing you talk about it brought back all those anxious feelings, haha. Such a bizarre experience! Glad to see you doing so well with your music these days. :-)
Pumashock she may remember you if you left your name or face
How is she supposed to know who you are if you don’t have a name or photo attached lol
She has on her channel
I mean if it's her and not someone else idk
if I tell my parents I really want to become a kpop idol, my dad will literally make sit down and he would lecture me for like an hour on why I should get a “real” job instead of doing this kpop stuff, and my mom makes fun of kpop idols anyway and she also hates the idea, so at this point, I’m just really confused. I also have more trust issues with my family than with other ppl in general, it’s hard, but I’ll just try.
Good Luck, keep on trying😉.
Wishing you all the best! Good luck!! Don't let other people's opinions stop you from doing what you love! I purple you

Some k-pop idols were 12 when they started
@@randomperson1714 can u tell me there names cuz I just know idols debuting around the age of 14.
@Watashida shourai sohyun from Orange debuted at age 12.There is also Shu Yang from boy story who debuted at age 10.I wouldn’t be surprised if a 8 year old managed to debut at this point.
My dad loved kpop I asked him if I could apply to JYP and he said he didn’t care so I told my mom and she said okay
me : mom, can i become an idol?
mom: sure

Veryyy good same

You are actually look like an SM artist thoo.
Exactly
I actually understand what you're talking about. Most African parents don't believe in a career in showbiz. It wasn't until this year that my mum was ready to admit I was talented at singing. Before that she'd say it was a waste of time. You can imagine my shock when she told me that. I decided to start out small. I already submitted an audition tape last week to one of my country's TV Channels. I haven't heard from them yet, but I really hope that even if I don't, i'll keep moving on.
I know I have a lot of work to do in terms of vocal strength and growth, and I think that is what I am going to focus on to make myself better. I really love singing and my goal is to go on a world tour before I die (if God wills it). Meanwhile, I am posting covers on karaoke apps and having fun.
Thank you for making this update. I appreciate it.
I understand,African here
@@prisciloperson8476 one of my favourite Kenyan artistes still lies to his dad about singing part time yet he is doing it full time and goes on tours with his bandmates. His parents still ask him when he's getting a "real job."
whattt ? Has your mom ever seen Michael Jackson or Beyonce ?
@@KhanhDinh291 not sure about Beyonce, but Michael Jackson, yes.
I really feel that. My mom is really supportive, but whenever I bring up being a freelance artist and writer, she always says that what I want to do can just be a “hobby” because it’s not stable enough
It's weird seeing Grace without glitter make up✨✨✨
Me: Hey mom, if I auditioned and I got accepted to a company in Korea would you let me go?
Mom: No are you stupid. Who would even go with you?
Me: I don’t know, you?
Dad: What did she ask?
Mom: If she could go to Korea...
Me: (embarrassed)
Dad: Are you stupid
I literally want to be a kpop idol but my parents are also super against it 😂
I feel u
Same here
I also 😔😔😔

Same here
Left a comment before wacthing the video ♥ I already know I'll love it
What you said about even if people can sing really good the fright or lack of confidence can kinda ruin their audition really got to me. I remember I auditioned for vocals at this local Fine Arts School and I was so terrified during my audition that my legs were violently trembling and my voice cracked at one point and I immediately started crying once I exited the room. Not long after, I auditioned for a bigger and harder school for a 2-week summer discovery program that covered the whole state and they were only accepting 12 people out of hundreds to audition. I was much more confident and though still nervous and shaky, I didn’t actually think I did bad. I made the audition and while it made me upset i didn’t make the other, I was ecstatic and a bit proud to see I improved and made an even harder audition. I’ve always had a lack of confidence and tend to self loathe a lot, but seeing a huge inspiration like you go from repeatedly failing auditions to become the outstanding singer/rapper you are today gives me more confidence and motivation to continue my passion! I love you Grace, keep killing it!! 💛💫🔥
Dad: be a lawyer
Me: but i wanna be an idol
Dad: being an idol is useless, get a stable job
Me: but dad! C-can you please atleast let me attend dance and vocal lessons?
Dad: no, it would be a waste
Mama Joy Ssi I’ll support you 😎
Definitely my father lol 😭 it’s so sad beacause i so eager to learn it
Don't let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams 🌚💜they have already lived their lives now it's your turn
@슈가리 why though?? It's a good opportunity or if you aren't comfortable then take it on home by watching your faves I do the same thing 😂 introvert thingy you know
@슈가리 you can if you believe and want to and taking out 20 or 10 minutes from a busy schedule is not so much so I think you should try at least you'll be satisfied that you tried
Yes I agree with the Asian parents thing. 😭😭😭😭😭 For them study is their first priority.

I can't even say to my parents that I want to become a kpop idol.. My parents will simply say no and will tell me to stop these nonsense and STUDY...
@BTS ARMY yes
@BTS ARMY well I have no problem with non-koreans being k-pop idol if learn and respect Korean culture but most of time they mistreated by their companies and discriminated. I like non-koreans in k-pop
Then Nancy from momoland should be discriminated from her company as because she is an American. And americans have Hollywood right!?
@@fagunmanna2014 Nancy have Korean blood and West is still not open for Asians
My mum she will look away hoping that I'll just go to bed
At least my dad agreed he is ok with moving especially that he doesn't need to pay for the tickets
Idk what I wanna do for my future atm. I plan on being a writer, but it's very possible for that to flop. I've been thinking about being a kpop trainee/idol since singing and dancing is something I enjoy (though my self esteem is so low that I don't really do it in front of other people). The general thing I want to do in the future is to make other people happy, so being a writer (I like to create story ideas) or a kpop idol looks enjoyable for me to do. I know being a kpop trainee is a very harsh life (intense dieting, strict training, tight schedules, contracts dictating my life, etc.), but if that allows me to be closer to making people smile and feel a little better, then it'd be worth it. Stuff like animated shows and kpop made me feel happier even for just a moment, so I wanna give that feeling to others as well.
I don’t know if my parents would be okay with me wanting to be a kpop trainee/idol (they probably will tell me no) (aka, not going to college in 2 years right away), so I’m kind of hesitant to tell them.
Right now, I’m trying to figure out when I should do what. I know that 16 is an ideal age to start training under a company, but I’m pretty sure that my parents would want me to at least get a high school diploma (I do as well). I’m still trying to figure out the best way to audition without using up too much money prior to graduating high school (I live in the mid-west, oof. Nowhere near California), and if I should take a one year break between high school and college to find a company. If anyone has tips, I’d be very thankful.
I just love your channel, you are such a great person 👌🏻
i also want to audition in yg, its my dream company huhu
edit: but sadly, we’re just an average family, we can’t afford plane ticket )”-;
I also want to audition for a company but I don't know which one, if you're in the US some companies have global auditions. You can audition in some of those. There is also online auditions where you take videos of yourself dancing/singing and introducing yourself. If you pass those then, you have to go to Korea for the 2nd audition. But for the global auditions, they only happen like once a year or something like that.
Hey, you don't have to pay for the flight. You should do a online audition and if you're selected. They will pay for all your things, your visa and flight anything you buy.
Ruby Tanu really, omg thats cool if thats true
@@Joshua-fo6fm It's true. I am also gonna audition for it.😀

NO ENTERTAINMENT BLOOD
Are you talking 'bout me?
So, I'm half Chinese and I was telling my mom about the global auditions JYP were holding that my friend suggested I should try. She "politely" disagreed. She started telling me how the celebrities now are really hard workers and all that ( she was indirectly telling me I cant sing). And now 4-5 months later I put up an English Cover of BTS Jimin's Promise on my channel and she LOVED IT and started off like "you have such a beautiful voice, if we get a trainer for you we can fix those flaws." and started planning things and I'm like ...Where was all this when I wanted to audition. Also, I dont know how to dance XD its not that I suck. Its that I actually dont know. But there is hope for me. I really wanna try and achieve this dream for myself.
Did you audition??
@@ishtheswiftie13 I actually auditioned in 2019 for the girls global audition for BigHit (now known as HYBE) I never got called back but it was certainly a push out of my comfort level and a great experience in person🥰

She low key looked like Wendy from RV when she was younger
"they didn't even allow me to do this as a hobby" saaaaammmmeeee!!!!!
Giving the video a like before even watching it coz I love your channel and you that much 😌
So yeah for people looking for a tactic to convince their parents, this is what worked with me:
Sing a lot in front of them (show them you're talented)
Record videos of you singing in front of them
Always express how much you love singing
Try to explain to them the genius training system of K-pop trainees
And finally write a song for them in which you express your "future choice of career" confidently (do not ask for their opinion so that they take it for granted)
i think korean has a big or much high standards!!!!
I’m planning to audition for the big 3 ents.and im full korean but I’ve been living on Guam my whole life. but I’m moving to korea by myself to live my dream. im 13 rn:) so I’m literally putting my whole childhood into this also but i hope it’ll be worth it ❤️😭 wish me luck!
I just hope you get accepted in one of YG or JYP , SM is a fucked up company and she will just release a new girl group so your time will be far away try YG anyways good luck ❤
Go get em and good luck
So did you get in ??
Girl, good luck!! I wish you all the best!!

Watching this video definitely has encouraged me. I have been auditioning online for a while and have been getting discouraged and down on myself for literally everything. But seeing you able to proudly talk about times you didn't pass or felt you messed up made me think-- It isn't the end of the world if I don't pass and there is no reason to be so hard on myself. Sometimes it's not so much about the fall as it is about how you get up and dust yourself off... Maybe I just need to be more out there and get out of my comfort zone. Thank you so much for the video, as I think it helped me be a bit more confident. Have a nice day and stay healthy and happy.

!! ATTENTION !!
What my research says for trainees for online Audition is, send your videos, audio clips and if by chance you get selected in online Audition they will send you tickets for South Korea (on email) and there you have to give 2nd round audition in South Korea as she said in the video but if you failed in that you need to return to your country with your tickets company will not provide you tickets to return back to the country..
