The Work of Auditions

S.E.S Bada’s recruitment story is the stuff of SM legend. Personally scouted in 1996 by Lee Soo-man after he saw her perform at her school’s annual festival, she did not then dream of debuting as a pop singer, let alone being in a girl group. By most accounts, she wanted to be a musical theater actor. But she agreed to Lee’s offer because it literally paid the bills. In exchange for joining the company, Lee paid her full university tuition and expenses, where she studied theater.

I begin with Bada’s origin story, not only because it is unique among SM audition stories but because of what it says about SM. Specifically, it demonstrates the company’s recognition early on that acquiring the best performers, regardless of cost, was integral to their survival and success. They would need talent to grow their stable of new acts and replace any new acts that disbanded. Furthermore, maintaining a pool of potential replacement talent was an insurance policy. Their mere existence would apply downward pressure on their already debuted idols, discouraging them from agitating for more (or any) money or better contract terms or material conditions lest they be replaced.

But first, SM had to find trainees, which they did so using a multi-pronged strategy. Street-casting, like the kind that found Bada, was part of their approach, as was their affiliation with the for-profit training academy Starlight Academy beginning in 2003. There was also their more formalized Audition process, which they started advertising on their official website in 2000. In the early aughts, versions of this Audition section of their website listed three language options (“Korean” “English” and “Chinese”), with different options for each. In particular, the Korean version listed six options:

Mail: An applicant could send via snail mail a letter or postcard listing their name, school grade, and contact information, along with two photos, to the attention of the Entertainment Audition Manager at a Gangnam PO Box.

Email: An applicant could send an email to the casting director with all the information they would include in a letter to the casting director if they were mailing their application and two scanned photos.

Franchise Store: Instead of mailing or emailing their information and photos, an applicant could drop off a letter with their information and two photos at one of the various music or record stores around Korea that SM listed on their site. If an applicant who utilized this method was selected for an in-person audition but lived outside of Seoul, SM would pay 100% of their transportation costs.

Recommend a friend: A person could send all of the same information of a friend or family member they believe is talented in a letter or email. If that friend or family member signed a contract with SM, the person who referred them would receive a scholarship of 1 million won.

Live Auditions: Every Saturday at 3pm, SM Entertainment held in-person auditions at their headquarters.

Live Auditions: Applicants could apply for an audition via directions obtained by calling a phone number. If an applicant passed the first round of screening, they would be invited to attend the in-person auditions held on Sunday at 3pm.

Today, SM has not radically changed these options other than revamping them to reflect technological changes and expanding their in-person auditions. They eliminated the snail mail and franchise store options in favor of digital options, including applying via the SM website or direct message. In-person auditions are still held weekly at the SM Entertainment building but are supplemented by audition tours. Earlier this year, they announced their 2024 Global Audition, which consists of stops in Daegu, Busan, Daejeon, Wonju, Gwangju, and Jeju, as well as Thailand, Japan, the United States, and Canada.

Much as their audition methods have not drastically changed, only expanded, the same could be said for the motivation behind their auditions. The need for new trainees, especially as the industry has become increasingly competitive, and the necessity of maintaining that power dynamic that I discussed above all still applies, but I would also add a third reason. That is much as trainees function as a way to apply pressure to acts on an agency’s roster, so does the audition, with all its spectacle, do for trainees. Between the multiple dates and increasing amount of locations, often announced with much fanfare, there is a dual impression. The auditions are extremely competitive, with participants going up against not only those at that audition but also highly desirable and affirming, as evidenced by the turnout.

Yet even though a trainee may have made it through the gauntlet of auditions and been selected as a member of an elite club, they cannot rest. On the contrary, as a trainee, they will have to work harder than other trainees whom they are competing with to maintain their spot and for one of the scant opportunities to debut. Moreover, they cannot complain about their training or the conditions of it or even negotiate for better contract terms, lest they get replaced by any one of those other people auditioning and vying for their spot.

It is no wonder SM Entertainment has not developed a more efficient way to audition potential new trainees. The current system is the perfect tool, conveniently downplaying their role outside the selection process. If a group of trainees encourages existing acts to stay silent even in the face of poor working conditions, that is not because SM has explicitly pushed them to but as a consequence of the system. Similarly, if trainees who acutely feel the precariousness of their situation overwork themselves, that is their decision. No matter that these are the results of a system created by SM's choices, and thus are not immutable. As far as the industry cares it works, so why would they fix it?

Eden and Cinder refs!

a young dark realm recruit who desperately doesnt want to fight. became extremely paranoid and aware of their behavior after being made to watch the execution of another trainee he was close with as a warning due to their perceptively disloyal behavior. was told to keep their mouth shut in regards to the details of the execution.

has named the executioner "the deathbringer" in her head ever since that incident, due to the quickness of their claws and teeth and the haunted numbness of their gaze. one second her friend was alive, and in the next they were dead.

eden would be grateful that their friend's death was quick, if she wasn't left so horrified at the scene and stricken with gnashing grief.

born and raised in the dark realm, cinder is fueled by rage and spite. she was seen as the most promising trainee out of the average bunch, and was ready and willing to seek the justice these strangers who named themselves "the sin council" promised.

other than a couple of trainees she viewed as just as ruthless and jaded as he was, cinder found himself growing unexpectedly close with a recruit that she never cared for or even acknowledged before. (this isn't the same trainee that eden watched die)

this trainee was... kind to him. and didn't noticeably avoid her out of fear like many others would do. cinder spoke to her at first with venom, then with apathy, then curiosity, then intrigue, then feigned politeness, and finally kindness. (well, cinder's version of kindness)

the recruit managed to get through to cinder a bit, allowing him to question the intentions behind the council. why are these animals who weren't even from the dark realm are suddenly promising to lead them to the justice they were owed centuries ago? eventually, the friendship between these two turned into something more

cinder doesn't know what to do with himself since her partner mysteriously disappeared from their numbers. that only means one thing in the dark realm.

"the deathbringer feeds again" eden whispers frantically, "can't you hear it? the sound of blood staining the floor of it's cave."

there’s an article going around that blue box are predicted to debut a new boy group in the second half of 2023, but it seems to be from an outsider who hasn’t even been in contact with them so 🤷🏻‍♀️ it seems to probably be based on what blue box said in february (that they’ll debut both a new bg and gg in 2023)

#it’ll happen eventually if the company doesn’t go bankrupt #but as long as their rookie gg are only a tiktok group I don’t think they can take on the investment #of starting up a new bg because that’s even more expensive than debuting a gg #and they need guaranteed success which… is even less likely with a boy group rn #plus they didn’t show any boy trainees in the company tour with sęonho and shühua they only showed girl #trainees #anyway unis and mellos both started a riot from this but it’s just a prediction #the clearest hint that it’s just a prediction is that the article didn’t mention nfts once 😹😹😹

★I've said it before and I'll say it again. He has the best fashion.

★he dresses you, sometimes better than himself (rarely)

★He'll stay up late reaching you a dance you wanted to learn

★Hes quite tall, so he'd lean his arm on your head pretending your a head rest, sometimes he does it to tease other times he doesn't even realize what he's doing.

★he curses a lot, so if y'all were hanging out or on a date you'll hear him either mutter curses randomly or say them out loud.

★He is extremely protective over you, he loves you to no end he wants to make sure your safe.

★He loves seeing you hear his clothes, and or match with him. He likes proving to others that your his and his only.

★He doesn't really like hickies to be seen if he does give them to you, he feels it's a private thing between you and him.

★He loves sleeping on your thighs or stomach, it brings him comfort but if he hears the little random noises your stomach makes he'll try to mimic them.

★If he can't sleep when your asleep, he'll move to his side facing you and turn his screen brightness all the way down and mutes his phone so he doesn't disturb you.

★For dates I feel like he's an inside kinda guy, he enjoys the intimacy of it.
