MOVIE NIGHT: Korea Today-Super Junior, 10 Years in the Spotlight 스타 기획 슈퍼주니어

Hi Guys! I;m back again with another video for you all this time it will be discussing, the one and only, Super Junior and their 10 years of being constantly in the spotlight.



To me not only does this video give a deeper inside look into Super Junior's daily lives but it also shows their work ethic and how multitude talented they really are.  This video also provided a good tip for anyone who wants to be in the entertainment industry, whether its to be an idol/actor/actress/model/MC/host/comedian/etc..., ALWAYS have more than one thing you are good at. For example, if you are an idol and you are good at singing but also good at producing and composing songs and writing lyrics when you want to retire from the idol world you could become a composer/producer for future idols/singers (like Teddy of 1TYM, he is a head producer and composer for YG entertainment and written songs for BIG BANG, 2NE1, CL, G-Dragon, Teayang, etc...). Let's face it an idol's life is quite short so you are going to need to be good at something to prolong your relevance in the industry. Most idols become models and actors/actresses or they become producers, composers or song writers for other companies. Others become vocal and dance trainers. Some go into the fashion business and start their own line. Some even become  CEO's of their own entertainment company. And some even quit their idol life completely and get married and have children. There IS life after idol days ^_^!



With all that being said I hope you take something from this passage and video and really start to work on your talents and really start thinking what else can you do besides sing and dance? I hope you enjoy this video and have a blessed day ^_^!



Seeya! BYEZ ^_^ <3

Movie Night: How to become a K-pop idol as a foreigner #1 | Introduction

Hi guys long time no see. ^_^ I have a good reason for not seeing you guys which I will talk about in my next blog post but today I wanted to share this video I ran up upon a while ago and it has given me more motivation and encouragement to really REALLY try to break into the Korean music industry.



The man that is talking in this video is named, Jun. He has been living in South Korea for 4 going on 5 years now and is currently a CEO of his own Korean entertainment company, Areia Creations Global Entertainment.



I feel that this video would shine some light on this topic and I hope that you guys take something from it and apply it to yourself to improve your chances of becoming a K-pop idol/star.







Sit back, maybe grab a pen/pencil and paper (for notes of course), relax and ENJOY!!! ^_^

YOU SHOULD AUDITION FOR......JYP ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Now I bet you are thinking about auditioning for JYP entertainment but you want to know things like trainee life in JYP, how to audition and all that stuff. Well....here you go


Auditioning for JYP entertainment

JYP is looking for talents in the following four categorizes ONLY, singer (dancer/vocalist), Actress/Actor, Model, VC/VJ. Anyone can audition regardless of age, race/ethnicity, nationality and gender. JYP entertainment offers several ways for talented hopefuls to audition.

Q: What does JYP entertainment look for in potential trainees?

A: JYP specifically said he goes for manners over talent. "You can be talented but what is the use if you have no manners?" quoted by CEO Park Jin-Young (JYP) himself. He likes people who are natural and who can't hide from being themselves. I say manners are important! Having manners and being respectful can take you places that you can't get to with just talent alone...but having some talented never hurt either. ^_~   He also looks for passion. "Sincerity and passion are the most important" quoted by JYP. You must have the passion to sing, you must have the passion to dance and you MUST have the passion to be the best! 

Here are some article(s) discussing the topic of what JYP looks for.

http://asianuniverse.net/forums/SM_YG_JYP_Entertainment_s_Casting_Trainees_System_t64498.html

1. Online Auditions 
2. Mail/Post Auditions UPDATE JYP no longer has mail/post auditions! 
3. Live/Global Auditions 

ONLINE AUDITIONS 

       The online audition is the simplest and cheapest way to audition for JYP. Just go to http://audition.jype.com/  and create an account, complete an application form and upload a video/audio/photo of yourself. After submition if, the judges see potential you will be notified through email telling you the next steps of your audition process. Even though this method of audition is free and more convenient  I have never heard of anyone being noticed or passing through this type of audition. I'm not saying it doesn't work it's just that I haven't heard of anyone passing or getting through the first stage of auditions with this method. 

Online Auditions = More convenient BUT Less effective 

MAIL/POST AUDITIONS

      The mail/post auditions will cost some money because you have to pay for shipping and handling and all that and it's a little more complicated because you have to go through a little more trouble but it's not that bad. With mailing auditions you have to physically send your stuff (such as application form, video, photos, etc...) to JYP headquarters in Seoul, Korea. I have done this method twice I think and I do prefer more than the online auditions because I know that they will get it in their hands and they will see it. Their people that have passed from this audition you can view their videos here ----> JYP Audition Youtube channel and if you want to know things like the address and what to include inside the package CLICK HERE!!! Once you submit you have to wait for the company to contact you through email to tell you what the next steps are in your audition. 

Mail Auditions = Less convenient BUT little more effective 

LIVE/OPEN AUDITIONS 

      There are two type of live auditions, Open auditions or Global auditions. Open auditions are held at the JYP center located in Seoul, Korea and are open every 1st and 3rd Sunday at 2pm. Global auditions are held  annually/yearly but definitely not as often as Open auditions. Global auditions are auditions that the company holds in other countries outside of South Korea (such as, USA/Canada, Europe, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, etc...) Global auditions are very effective because if you get chosen from these auditions you are automatically given a position as a trainee in the company, which makes the competition much more fierce because EVERYONE that auditions wants that chance so you aren't just competing locally but GLOBALLY! But unless you live in South Korea or in a captial/ well-known city like New York, LA, Beijing, Bangkok, Tokyo, etc... it won't be as convenient for you because you will have to travel to one of the closets places that the audition is going to be held and let me tell you IT AIN'T CHEAP! You will have to pay for transportation (like airfare/plane ticket/ train ticket/ gas money/ etc...) and you have to reserve a hotel room because if you live far away you are going to have to sleep somewhere. Plus you have to have spending money for food, shopping and whatever else other extra curriculum activities you want to do! But even though it's expense it is also very fun! I have gone to the YG 2012 Global auditions in New York and the SM 2013 Global auditions in Washington D.C. and I had a BLAST!!! I had great experiences, learned a lot and made many friends that I am still friends with to this day.  Many many MANY K-pop idols have used this method multiple time so it WORKS!!!! 

Open/Live Auditions = Not convenient BUT Most effective 

Here are some of the many audition experience videos on YouTube. These two are the most popular they tell you EVERYTHING from what to bring to the audition, how to prepare for the audition, and what to expect.

Here are audition videos of JYP artist. 

Trainee life in JYP entertainment

Trainee life for anyone in the K-pop is tiring and hard but with perseverance, faith, hard work and determination hopefuls will have the opportunity to graduate from their training and debut. That is the dream of EVERY trainee in ANY company. But we know that trainees have to go to singing classes and dancing classes, but what other skills or what other classes do trainees have to take? Trainees have to undergo A LOT more than what we think they do.

Article: http://wgjjang.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/news-training-life-at-jyp-entertainment/


The information from the article above states, "Training at JYPE is not limited to only singing and dancing lessons. Byeon shared that they also undergo studies in foreign language(s), community service (focusing on handicapped and orphans), reading, and other special lectures that include proper dieting methods, vocal training, anti-smoking, and proper sex education. For the reading portion, they have a book club in which they read and discuss books they believe are good. 

The training ends when all the teachers agree that a student is ready to debut, at which point the student is presented to JYPE President, Park Jin Young. On average, this process takes 3-5 years, but various with individuals. 

JYPE expects that students who “graduate” from their training program to become stars. Not only stars who are good at singing and dancing, but also ones who have proper manners/etiquette, can speak confidently, and have humility". 

I also know that JYP entertainment also give lessons on acrobatics and playing instruments. Also at the end of every month they have monthly evaluations where the trainees have to show how much they have improved and everything they have learned for that month. If the trainee does well in the evaluations they have more opportunities to be in showcases where they get to show more of their talents, they get offers to be back-up dancers for official JYP artist (on live stage and in music videos), they get more opportunities to be scheduled for events/MV&CF appearances, and most important they get a better chance at debuting. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cool right?! JYP sounds like a great company to be under. I want to be in JYP entertainment (or any company) because the overall feel I get from the company it self is that they really can make you a STAR! They really do prepare you well for ANYTHING!!! A LOT of talent has come from JYP, such as G.NA, Dongwook & Hoya (of Infinite), Choa (of AOA), B-Bomb (of Block-B), CL (of 2ne1), Peniel Minhyuk & Sungjae (of BTOB), Hyuna (of 4minute/also former member of WomderGirls), Daehyun (BAP), Xiumin (of EXO), Chorong (of Apink), Hyolyn (of Sistar) etc.... the list goes on; and not just idol wise some of the staff have come from JYP and made their own companies which are quite successful, such as CUBE entertainment & BigHit entertainment. So I think it's safe to say that if you are in JYP entertainment you are in good hands! ^_~

IMAGE IMPROVEMENT #2 - The Art of Good Hygiene

Hii Guys I'm back! and todayyyy I'm going to get a bit personal......(literally!) with a very important topic that a lot you know about. Today's topic is...Hygiene! YES! It is good to learn how to practice good hyigene because even in regular every day life it's important and when you are in the public eye as an idol it will be stressed even more because you have an image to uphold. Plus, being funky is NOT CUTE!!!  I can't tell you the countless number of people I have come across that just smelled like they had a lot, and I mean, A LOT on their mind...OH MY GOD! Idols are known for their fresh and clean look and  If you are going to be an idol you have to practice good hygiene because you are going to be around many many people (like producers/lyricist/composers, fans, CEOs, other idols, models, scouters, staff workers, etc....) just A LOT of people and you want to offend them; you want to make a good, fresh, long-lasting impression...right?! RIGHT!!!

Kris (now Wu Yi Fan) is well-known for his attractive scent and has received many compliments about it.

    

"PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND, WHEN YOU SMELL GOOD! YOU GET TEN TIMES MORE ATTRACTIVE! YAAAASSS!!!!"
                                                                       -It's Just ME

But...before we get into the practice we should learn more about what is overall good hygiene, the effects of improper hygiene and the importance of good personal hygiene.


Q: WHAT IS GOOD HYGIENE? 

A: "It is the basic concept of cleaning, grooming and it is the first step to good health. Besides that it is consider as one of the most important parts of our daily lives and at the workplace to help prevent infections and diseases". (BA Rosool Hassan)

Q: WHY IS PRACTICING GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE IMPORTANT? or in other words WHY SHOULD CARE??!?!? 

A: Practicing good hygiene improves your appearances, prevents infections and diseases. It also prevents body odor. "Good personal hygiene not only enhances our appearance, its importance is directly related to preventing infections, diseases, and keeps us free from unpleasant odors.

Practicing proper hygiene is important to your mental health and helps you feel better about yourself. Most people don’t think twice about bathing, visiting their doctor or dentist for routine checkups, handling unsanitary items, brushing their teeth, or washing their hands.

They not only do these healthy habits for themselves, they do them to help keep those they care about healthy and safe". (Zapo) 

Q: WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF IMPROPER HYGIENIC PRACTICES?

A: Poor hygiene can cause unpleasant body odor, infections & diseases, poor dental health can cause captivities, gum disease, build up and plaque and bacteria, bad breathe, etc... Men and women have different hygienic needs but poor practices can have terrible results. Bad hygiene can also effect your self-esteem, how you view yourself and how others view you.

WOW! it's amazing how hygiene can effect all these things right?! Today I'm going to discuss the steps that anyone can do to practice good hygiene.


BODY 

1. Bathe at least 2 times per day regularly.  Washing with soap/shower gel will prevent bacteria build-up that you get throughout the day, which will prevent body odor. ALSO...make sure to scrub your body with a wash clothe or a body scrubber. Doing this helps take off the dirt and dead skin cells; build-up of these things can cause body odor.
2. Removing body hair. (This includes men and women) Whether people know it or not your body hair can body odor as well. Reasons why are because "sweat can, and does, collect in the hair on your body and make you feel yucky faster. You will also smell more if you have body hair. So shave, wax, use a depilatory or invest in laser hair removal – it will all help you to stay fresh..." (Benaifer) 
3. Wear 24 hour protection deodorant.  I can't tell you the number of people I have come across that have horrific body odor simply because they do not wear deodorant. Deodorants are used for antiperspirants, fighting body odor, prevents sweat, etc...Deodorants are very important. 
4. Using body powder (optional) . This is an old trick that was used for years and the method is still used today. Body and dusting powders are made up of starches, flour or clay; they help stop sweat by keeping your body dry. They also can be used for retaining moisture after a shower and promote smooth skin.  Wearing powders can give a clean fresh feeling and make you feel a little bit better. ^_^
5.  Spritz your favorite cologne/perfume or body spray. 
6. Always wear clean cloths. I can't stress enough how important it is to wear clean cloths every day. Always make sure to was your clothes regularly (optional: you can wash them with fabric softer). The dirt, germs, bacteria, sweat get on your cloths as the day goes by so if you wash and put on the same cloths you had on the day before you are just putting all the dirt, germs, sweat and bacteria back on you. 
7. See a doctor annually (or a often as you can). It good to go get check-ups because if you do all of these things but yet you still have body odor your can always go to the doctor and see what's wrong and he/she can help you. ALSO it is good to go to the doctor anyway so you can make sure that you are physically healthy and your health IS important! 

HAIR

1. Always wash your hair at least once a week. Sweat, dirt and oil collect in hair overtime. They cause build-up on your scalp which causes the hair to smell and look really oil and dirty. It can even cause damage to the hair. 
2. Brush or comb your hair to the style of your choice. Brushing/combing your hair is important. It helps the natural oils in your hair to spread even from your scalp to your ends. It also makes your look groomed and well-kept. 
3. You can put perfume in your hair too. (optional) Just to give a little extra "something" you can lightly spray your hair with perfume/body spray.
4.  See a beautician/ cosmetologist/ barber as often as you can. You can always do things on your own but it never hurts to get profession help/advice. They can tell/show you what style looks/works best on/for you. 

TEETH/MOUTH

1. Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice per day (usually in the morning when you wake up and night before you go to bed).  Not brushing your teeth will  cause bacteria, plaque, tar, etc... build-up on your teeth and that could lead to gum diease, captivities, etc... ALSO you should make sure to not just brush your teeth but your tongue, gums, roof  and sides of your mouth and underneath the tongue....so basically your WHOLE MOUTH! Because the plaque and tar build-up on your can cause bad breath as well.
2. Floss before your brush your teeth.  You always floss your teeth right before brushing them because even though you may brush your teeth its hard to reach and get in-between the teeth. 
3. After brushing, rinse your mouth out with mouthwash (optional). This step is not necessary, but it really helps with bad breath and overall dental hygiene. A basic mouthwash is suppose to kill the germs and bacteria, get rid of plaque and give you sexy minty fresh breath! I use mouthwash ALL THE TIME! and I got reports from the dentist that because I use mouthwash my teeth are in a good state...so yeah!
4. Drink dihydrogen monoxide (H20)! Yes! WATER! Water can help with bad breath as well and plus its good for you bro! ^_~ You know when you wake up in the morning and your breath smells funny is because it's dry and it's not producing saliva (which washes away bacteria) so you just have dry bacteria collected in your mouth and that's what causes the bad breath. 
5. Chewing gum!!! Chewing gum can take away your bad breath instantly and help keep it fresh throughout the day. Although, I STRONGLY recommend using sugar-free mint flavored gum only because gums with sugary flavors won't help and can make it worst because there is sugar in the product so instead of taking away the sugar you are just putting it back on. 
6. See a dentist every 6 months (or as often as you can).  Just like it is important to see a doctor regularly its important to see a dentist regularly. Your teeth are important and your smile says A LOT about you so your should take care of them. 

HAND

1. ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS! Every time you use the bathroom, every time before you eat something, every time you touch something that looks most definietly NOT SANITARY...WASH YOUR HANDS! I can tell you the countless times I have come across people who do NOT wash their hands! It is disgusting and very unsanitary; if you knew someone that didn't wash their hands you wouldn't want to even touch them or better yet, let them touch you...WOULD YOU?!?!? NO!!! Other people wouldn't want to touch them either. Washing your hands is a BASIC NO.2 STEP that is on a doctor's list of good hygiene. Not washing your hands can lead to sooooo many diseases that you can catch and give to other people. Here is a link to how to wash hands properly----> http://www.wikihow.com/Wash-Your-Hands  
2. Always have a portable bottle of your favorite hand sanitizer and a portable pack of wet wipes.  These good essentials to carry around with your when you are out and about. In case you aren't near a bathroom to wipe something off your hands you can use the wets wipes (antibacterial wipes are good but really any kind would you do just to get the stuff off) and use your hand sanitizer for disinfectant. Also these can be used when you use the bathroom and it has no soap BUT THIS METHOD IS A LAST MINUTE RESORT ONLY!!!  ANY OTHER TIME USE SOAP AND WATER!!! 
3. Always make sure to keep nails looking clean. Dirt can collect under our nails really easily so always make sure to keep then clean. To do this, you can simply take a gentle little nail brush with you in the shower and you can do it then or you can tote a little nail brush with you and use it every time you wash your hands. [FOR MEN] (and for women too) BUT MOSTLY MEN, make sure to keep nails your neat and evenly trim. I have seen many men with long fingernails with dirt under them...that's SOOOO not attractive -.- 
4. [FOR MEN AND WOMEN] Go to a nail salon/spa (optional) . You don't have to go to a professional to keep your hands looking nice there are literally THOUSANDS among THOUSANDS articles and YouTube videos that teach you how to do ALL that fancy stuff yourself. BUT! it never hurt to see a professional. For all my manly men out there you shouldn't be ashamed or afraid to go get your nails done. You don't have to get them painted you just want them cleaned up. When you become an idol they [company you are under] are going to make you do it anyway! So beat them to the punch ^_~.

1. Wash and dry feet daily. I know a lot people usually forget this area but this is an important topic that shouldn't be forgotten and that's why it is on the list. Make sure to was between the toes and get the area under the toenail. 
2. Wear clean socks every day. 
3. Like hands, keep toenails trim and cleans. 
4. Rotate you shoes. You shouldn't wear the same pair of shoes more than two days in a row. Give them time to air out, especially if you are very active throughout the day. 
5. Keep them dry. Fungus tend to spread moist dark places make sure to put powder in your shoes to keep them dry throughout the day and wear socks made out of a breathable fabric like cotton. 
6. [FOR MEN AND WOMEN] Get pedicures (optional). We use out feet every day, our feet are more important than we think. We use them to walk and run, to reach high places, to climb to do almost everything. Something this precious to us we should take care of it, right?! ^_^  
7. Visit the doctor...not just any doctor a Podiatrist.  

Here are all the articles I used for the research for this topic and some other good articles that discuss hygiene and the practice of good hygiene and why it is important.
