Applicants can choose one category to showcase: vocal, rap, dance, or appearance. They should also attach both photos and videos when pre-registering. 

Once pre-registration ends, selected applicants will receive a confirmation email for the second audition, which will be sent on November 20th. 

This marks the entertainment label’s second audition within the country. They held the YG Global Audition in Manila back in 2023. The requirements are almost the same as those for the 2024 iteration. 

YG Entertainment and other K-pop agencies handpick individuals to join their training academy and ultimately decide who debuts as a K-pop star.

This year’s global audition will also be held in other countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States, and Indonesia.
