The popular Korean music TV program “Superstar K” will be opening up its third season auditions to non-Koreans who want to try their hand at K-pop. 


The program, which looks for undiscovered talents, is similar to programs like “Britain’s Got Talent” and “American Idol.”

Originally, “Superstar K” only accepted Korean participants, but as their international profile grew, so did the potential pool of talent from outside the peninsula. 

The program announced on May 11 that it will hold “Superstar K World Super Tour UCC” video auditions from May 20 to June 30, along with audition sessions in Osaka, Tokyo and Sendai in Japan, along with New York and Beijing, in June.

Online applications can be made by uploading a video clip to Youtube.com by June 30 and registering at www.superstark.co.kr/worldtour.

After screening by official judges and netizens, one candidate will be invited to come on an all-expenses paid trip Korea to participate in the third round in Seoul in July.

The show’s final winner will receive prize money of 500 million won, along with an opportunity to release a record album.
