MBC Star Audition Asks Soompiers to Try Out!
Ready to be a Star?
Are you a star in the making? Then we have some exciting news for you! Soompi is now the official partner of Korea’s most celebrated audition show, “MBC Star Audition”! Here, Season 1 finalists Lee Tae Kwon and Shayne Orok explain exclusively to Soompiers how YOU can become the next singing sensation in Korea!

Shayne:
Apply, impress the judges, and if you make it into the first round, you will be invited to Korea (flight and room & board will be provided for by MBC) to compete with other participants on live television in an elimination-style competition — where only one person can be left standing. If you are that person, you will receive a large cash prize, and the opportunity to debut as a singer in Korea! Let’s see a Soompier take home the big prize!
Audition Process
Open auditions will be held in Los Angeles on July 16, and London on August 6. Please prepare to sing about 1 minute of your best song for the audition (at least 1 or more Korean songs). Auditions will be conducted in a cappella with the exception of you playing your own instrument (provided by you). If you decide to prepare a dance or other skill that requires music, please provide your own CD/MP3.
Starting on July 7, there will also be online video auditions via YouTube. We will post more details as we get them.
