Good luck to everyone :D!
i wish the best of luck who ever is auditioning and who ever exceeds congragulations :)
I wish for any one who have audition in this event!!! Bring the best of luck hope you can make it!! :)
I am planning to auditions next year though. I am 19 this year (Korean: 20). Good luck to those who are going for the auditions! Will they be holding one more next year?
it seems as though it would be wierd if someone that isnt korean signed up in my opinion lol. im not signing up though, i dont sing i only dance XD
I am like… so nervous for the audition.
I’m might be going to Canada (Toronto), since… my parents were too busy for the NY one. >.<
(Of course, if they let me… i doubt it. :( )
I don't think i'm 100% prepared, but to experience it… i think it'd be fun. :)
Hopefully they'll do this next year, and I can re-try it (if i don't make it in ; hopefully 18 korean age isn't too old).
As for me I do love Girls Generation alot. And I hope that someday I could come to the Global Auditions. And I do want to see different people to meet. And I do want to make friends at the global auditions. And I do speak Korea very well. And I do a little bit of japan, and china. But thats needs a bit work for me to speak japan and china. But I love to speak Korea. Thats what I love to do. And girls generation I love you alot. And I want to say…I can’t wait to meet you in person to have fun for the global auditions.
:)
And Tiffany heres a special wink for you;) I hope you love my wink;) And Jessica heres a special heart of love of friendship.

Just finish the audition.. I’m really nervous.. Dont know if it goes well.. (⌇ຶД⌇ຶ)
I live in San Francisco, and would love to apply…if only I had any actual talent, lol.
I wish I could apply for an audition, but Im from Brazil…
Well, after I started to watch many KPOP artists doing dance performances, including SNSD, I became really interested in starting to learn dancing!
I`m having lots of fun during the process, even if I`m still a beginner and of course, I intend to continue to learn more dancing moves and always improve the dance moves that I already know.
Best of luck to all contestants!
Never give up your dreams and find something in your heart that you want to express, thats how, I believe, someone becomes an artist!
Fighting!
Good Luck to those who plan to audition.
I would but I’m a little too old. 22. I know they SAY it’s open to all ages, but youth is important over there and since I would still need years of training for singing and learning Korean I figure it wouldn’t work out.
Anywho! I hope some more SONEs make it in! I know one person from here is currently a trainee! I hope we have more!

Well thats really global usa, canada, china, japan, korea … like there is no talent in europe, south america, australia etc. Well goodluck people who are auditioning :)
I hope that SM Would also held an audition in the Philippines.
Aww shoot why not in singapore =(
I’m auditioning and have never felt so nervous in my entire life. I’m trying to enhance my natural beauty to maybe increase my chances of getting in because since I’m not Korean (or Asian at all) I think that there’s a good chance they wont take me. :/
I’m going to0 audition for the Vancouver oneeee …so exciteddd
:)
Good luck to every one I plan to audition when im a little older im 16 right now soo ill wait just 3 more years when im 18 cause i know im not as ready as i will 3 years from now
i think you should join the audition as soon as possible.. because you are not debuting right away.. probably it will take more than 3 years as a trainee under SM entertainment.. it is worth trying though.. nothing to lose.. and you can take the audition again if you want to.. you don’t know if luck is on your side now..
I recommend that you audition now because you don’t know how old you’ll be when you debut, and SM likes to debut young people. If you wait until you’re 18 you might be in your mid 20’s by the time you debut, but if you do it now you could be in your early 20’s depending on your abilities. Even now you could be at a disadvantage because of your age. I am too. (I’m 17) because they also like it when young people (9-early teens) audition as well. Example: Tiffany was 11 when she auditioned and was 18 when she debuted.
Jessica auditioned about 11, but I think Tiffany auditioned at about 15-16
Actually Jessica didn’t really auditioned, she was kinda of scouted. Since Krystal was 5-6 years old (Intl’ age) at the time and was too young, her parents wanted Jessica to join SME instead.
Back to the post. Just go for it and good luck :D. Even if you don’t get in, you’ll get the experience from it. There isn’t much info on how many times or which companies the girls auditioned for in the past. I doubt that they got into SME on their first try and it was also the first company their ever auditioned for. At least for Sunny, it wasn’t her 1st interview/audition.
Good luck to everyone that is going to the audition.
best wishes and good luck to audition ppl =)
