soyundorito 828 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 As a Latin I first found this random and funny because I think auditions are gonna be a mess lol, I know a lot of people aren't serious about this and they're going to go just to make a fool out of theirselves, and I really wonder why did they decide to do auditions in these countries? Do you think there's a country that should be included? Anyway, I'll be happy if someone (from any country) pass and actually debut lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Morgan 3,556 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 because its possible to have good looking asians/sm standards in any country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenYourThots 1,512 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I don't know what the point is since they're only choosing Asian or half Asian trainees anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amix 12,096 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 i might be wrong but i thought that SM also had auditions for songwriters and other behind the scenes stuff a handful of people might go audition for something like that too, it's not everyone's dream or goal to be an idol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feel it yum 2,630 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Didnt SM want to create NCT Brazil subunit? They are not going to be only recruiting Asia looking faces if they are aiming for that market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyundorito 828 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I don't know what the point is since they're only choosing Asian or half Asian trainees anyway. Well, I have asian friends and I consider them the same nationally as me so.. it doesn't matter if it's only asians, for example, I'm chilean, and if a chilean who is Asian gets in it will be still considered as chilean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Aeris~ 2,686 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Just like what someone said already.. i think they are building nct members for each country around the world (sm world domination).. but not sure.. but i think thats what sm is aiming.. Also, they are not just recruiting idols.. thats what i know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering at the purpose of letting everyone no matter ethnicity be part of the audition if they won't end up being trainees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean, if they were actually in the "we are only looking for asians" they would put it as a requirement... and they're not only looking for idols too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's how I would have wanted them to word it instead of it being exclusively people of East Asian descent. I guess, so far it's not a requirement.

ñyan 1,712 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The thing I do not understand is why to make auditions in these countries when they just look asian looking people... kpop audience in SA are latin people, not asians and I highly doubt many asians would go to auditions here... hopefully they pick some people from here, last for a few months as trainees and reveal the dirty business of trainees because latin parents wont tolerate bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eselroth 2,858 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Tbh i'd like to see some non-asians in kpop, latin america has extremely beautiful people, but it's probably a pipe-dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
