Filipinos now have a shot at training under the label where artists like Taeyang, Rosé, and girl group MEOVV are signed

MANILA, Philippines – South Korean record label THEBLACKLABEL announced on Tuesday, April 1, that it would be opening global auditions across 11 countries, including the Philippines.

Anyone born between 2006 and 2015 is eligible to join the auditions, where they can showcase their chops in three main categories: vocals, rap, or dance. The K-pop hopefuls can only choose one category, and will be given a maximum of one minute to stage a performance for their chosen skill.

Singers and rappers must perform without music, but music will be provided for dance applicants.

These auditions will be held for individual applicants only, which means that team auditionees won’t be allowed.

Auditions officially kick off on April 19 in Seoul, South Korea, while the auditions in Manila are set to happen on May 11 at Zero Studio on Level 1 of the Greenfield Tower in Mandaluyong City.

The online registration form is already available as of this writing, and will be kept open up to three days before the auditions in each city. There will also be on-site registration on audition day.

Applicants who will move on to the next stage will be contacted within a month of their audition. Unsuccessful auditionees, however, will no longer be contacted by the label.

THEBLACKLABEL was founded in 2015 as a subsidiary of YG Entertainment. Artists under the label include BIGBANG’s Taeyang, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, and Somi, among others. K-pop girl group MEOVV is also signed under THEBLACKLABEL.
