3) what about shirts and other things do we need to bring?
4) is there any shopping mall there?

6) how much do I need to pay if I m an unofficial trainee?
7) which artists are in sm?
8) which entertainment is the easiest to go to?
9) how do the dorms look like?
10) how many subjects do I need to take?
11) what time do I need to wake up?
12) what do they supply us?
13) is it that every one day off we can go out and go shopping ？ lol
14) what are the rumors of sm?
15) what kind of breakfast do they serve ?
1.) Yes, but they have to go through the same process as everyone else. Once they "graduate" the academy they were trained in, they still have to audition at the Weekly or Global Auditions. Being an unofficial trainee does out their foot in the door though
2.) The company decides the name.
3.) It’d just pack like you’re going away for a few months. SM gives an allowance of about $20 USD a week to their trainees so anything you forget they will have. But I wouldn’t start with just the clothes on my back. ^^
4.) In Korea? Heck yes. COEX mall has a lot of trendy (and expensive!) items. But there are cute little places to buy clothes and do shopping all around Seoul. Myeongdong, Insadong, Namdaemung, Itaewon, Dongdaemun, etc.
5.) You get Sundays off. Otherwise you have some form of practice everyday.
6.) A lot :/ If you don’t get in on scholarship to Starlight or SM Academy, it can be expensive :/
7.) BoA, The Grace, TVXQ, Zhang Liyin, f(x), Super Junior, TVXQ, Kangta, J-Min, EXO, SHINee, Girls’ Generation….
8.) None. It seriously takes a lot of work and talent to get into any of the agencies. The way it works is the less competition means the easier it is to get into a company. However, that means the company is small and thus has a lot less resources and connections. This means that you’ll have to pay more out of pocket (the bigger agencies cover pretty much everything, but the smaller agencies do not – like they might make you pay for housing, etc.) and you won’t get a lot of air time because of their lack of connections which means it will be harder to become popular. If there is a lot of competition then it is harder to get in to the company. However, that means the company is huge and has a lot of connections and resources. You’ll get pretty much a free ride through trainee time and grow in popularity faster.
9.) Small, ^ ^ If you’ve ever been in a college campus apartment, it will probably look like that. It will probably have a main room that functions as a kitchen/living room/dining room and a few smaller rooms that house 2-3 people sharing a bedroom.
10.) As many as the company requires. You’ll be trained in singing and dancing for sure and probably in a foreign language. However, if the company wants to train you in modeling or acting, you will take courses in that.
11.) Probably pretty dang early. You’ll be in school while training so probably 5 or 6, depending on how long it takes you to get ready and get to school, You’ll have school til around 3 and then train and do homework until 10-11.
12.) Allowance, food, managers, training, etc.
13.) Sunday. But if you have any serious hopes of actually debuting, you’ll take all the free time you get to practice on your own. It’s basically like studying. You have class and then time when you’re not in class, There are a few geniuses who never have to study and ace the whole class, but the rest of us must study. Practicing on your own is your studying!
(And seriously, you probably won’t have any money to shop anyways.)
14.) That its difficult. Also, they’re kinda more lax on the rules about dating and dieting since they got so much backlash over the slave contracts. They’re trying to prove they aren’t a harsh company.
15.) Korean style. So it will probably be rice mush that is like oatmeal, only with rice. Also they have kimchi and other things that we would consider lunch or supper foods for breakfast. (If you’re someone who eats leftovers for breakfast, you’ll love it!) if you aren’t ready for that, you could probably run down to McDonald’s or Dunkin’ Donut for breakfast.
1. No, official trainee are pick from auditions or other competition held by SM, unless you are very talented or good looking that can outstand other unofficial trainees.
2. The company decides, EXO used to be named as M1 but they end up being EXO.
3. Bring for what? If for the auditions, just bring some money and some shirt because you only stay there for a few days.
4. I’m not is there any shopping mall in " SM ent. building" But I knnow there are alot at Korea.
5. Sunday or public holidays like summer holidays and winter holidays.
6. About a half of the fees for your college, is quite expensive.
7. SNSD, Super Junior, EXO, Shinee, F(X), TVXQ………………..
8. There no such thing like that. Every entertainment company is hard to get in. The smaller the company, the harder to get in because they will choose their trainee very carefull, The bigger the company, the more competetive, and MORE harder to get in like SM, YG, JYP.
9. Like an apartment like in Singapour which where you are living now .
10. Um…… Depends are you a science student or an art student. You will probally take those CO-Subject like English, maths,science………….. The other subject are depends on you.
11. 6.00 AM which is 7.00 AM at Singapour.
12. Educations, trainings, lessons, food, shelter…………….
13. You can if you want to go there when you are free during midnight.
14. Rumors????? Like what? that place is haunted? Trainees get beaten up? Nobody knows because those are just rumors.
15. Healthy Korean Food
I’m auditioning for SM too and I’m from Malaysia and I’m Chinese. Hope we can become SM’s trainee toghether and debut in a same group.

1. Yes! Unofficial trainees are the stage you become before you get signed, which is called being official.
2. They choose it during the selection process, such as what songs, what style and what people are going to be in it.
For example, they can’t have a really girly band that sings hardcore rock songs and their band name is Petals.
3. It depends on what season you will be staying in. In Summer/Spring, all you mainly need is t-shirts and shorts and light jackets. In Winter/Autumn, you will need warm jackets, warm pants, clothes that make you look nice, not street beggar styles~ ^^
In whatever season, you MUST bring clothes you can dance in, clothes that are appropriate for going out and suitable shoes. High heels not really needed.
4. Yes, within the city but you won’t really go out much unless you know your way around the city!
5. Saturdays for girls!
6. You don’t to pay anything! They will pay for most things… Unless you have a phone bill, that’s entirely your responsibility.
7. I included some that used to be in SM but left.
SNSd/ Girl’s Generation
SHINee
BoA
DBSK/TVXQ
TRAX
f(x)

8. Every company has certain standards. You can’t really say what company is easiest to get into but in my opinion I would say JYP, simply because they don’t care about looks as much as most other companies!
9. They are just another random apartment floor, nothing special! There are about 6 rooms. 2 rooms have only one bed. Another room has 4 beds/ 2 bunk beds. 2 other rooms have 1 bunk and 1 bed. And another room has 2 beds and one bunk bed.
10. If you can’t speak Korean, then you will get a class in that. Everyone does dance, which is Locking, Girl’s Hip Hop, Jazz and Street Jazz. You get your vocal class by yourself.
11. You can wake up anytime, but you have to be there (as in the building) at 12 or 1, depending on whether you have a class or not.
12. What do you mean?
They just supply you with the dorm and training, and pay for your food.
13.You can, I guess, but you have to tell someone before you go and what time you are expected to be back.
14. Nothing! They aren’t true, about the abuse and such. It seriously isn’t anything worth to be worrying about.
15. Basically anything the house lady can make! It is all really REALLY good food and she basically makes food for you and cleans the house everyday apart from Sundays (I think).
Maybe, it’s just an assumption but it already sounds like you go in… If so, well done!!
But if you haven’t, still, good luck!!!!~
