Survival Audition KPOP Star S4 / K-pop Star 4 (서바이벌 오디션 K팝 스타 시즌4)

I don't have makeup on and didn't get ready.

I just woke up.

What is that? - Take it.

You changed the position. It's looking good.

Isn't the bed small? - Yes, I sleep like this.

You might roll off.

Did you draw that?

There weren't any curtains before.

I decorate because I'm bored. - Not because of the broadcast?

No.

You have to erase that when you move out.

Aren't you cold?

I just had dance practice so I wore something light.

Dance practice?

I'm doing my best.

Why does it sound funny that he just practiced dancing?

It feels weird.

I want to extend my hand to them.

Let's walk and go together.

They have this indescribable energy no matter what field it may be.

We have the strength to go forward as we see their excitement and desperation.

We're walking together.

This is Survival Audition KPOP STAR Season 4.

The contestants and judges meet for the first time in Round 1.

They look determined but who will be the winner this time?

The three judges are JYP, YG, and You Hee-Yeol.

Something's new this season.

There's a guest panelist comprised of artists and casting experts from each agency.

The guest panelists will judge them more professionally and tightly.

What amazing people await us?

The winner of KPOP STAR Season 4 is awarded a cash prize of $300,000

And receive a Korean compact sedan that is loved around the world.

It's a pleasure to be here.

It's been a year.

Something's different from last year.

We have guest panelists and an audience.

They will be looking for contestants that fit into each agency's wants.

We look forward to it.

Antenna Music's logo changed!

Our logo changed!

It's like a large agency now.

All of my musician friends, including myself, changed from last season's show.

I'm firmly resolved this year.

You two should brace yourselves.

Aren't you afraid?

We'll do our best this year. Let's go for it!

Should we begin now? - She must be really nervous.

Hello.

I'm Hong Chanmi, 22, and want to sing from the heart.

Glad to meet you.

I feel uncomfortable when they come in with a guitar.

But I like it if they play the keyboard.

It says here you really wanted to do music but you're the sixth of seven siblings.

So you couldn't even talk about wanting to do music.

Yes, I have a passive personality.

A family usually has two to three siblings but I had to share amongst seven.

So I can't get my way if I don't throw a tantrum.

I see.

Relax and move us with your music.

I never had the chance to sing so it makes me nervous.

It's okay if I get eliminated. I just want their honest opinion.

Since You Hee-Yeol has experience in writing and singing his own songs...

...I think he'll be a good influence.

That's enough.

You have a delicate sentiment and there are many things in the song but...

...you sing in this thin high note without any in the low-mid range.

Your singing just passes over my head like a cloud and doesn't hit me here.

"Oh, it's passing over me. A lovely song is passing over."

You should sing like this but you're singing like this.

You don't need to share the stage amongst six or seven people.

You have to say anything you want like a spoiled only daughter.

I won't give you a pass.

Thank you.

You have a calm personality, right?

That's how I look at the moment.

I see.

The problem is...

Even an hour-long film is well-organized.

The same goes for any song.

There's the intro, verse, then the B section or hook which is the main theme, and climax.

What you are doing is repeating the verse.

It's good at first but after 20 seconds, "When is the next part?"

Your style is good but boring to put it in a bad way.

You need to remedy your weakness of sounding boring in a four minute song.

Unfortunately, you don't pass.

Thank you.

I have so many things to say to you.

I made up my mind to not give you a pass if YG had given you a pass.

It's because I understand a little about your style and preference.

Those from Antenna Music are over there.

You have to listen to what the two judges said.

That's the cold reality.

But I don't want to recommend you to follow it.

I liked it.

We shouldn't only have singers who sing well with an open voice.

We should have singers who sing with simplicity like a cloud passing over.

But imagine listening to twenty such songs at a concert.

One song is okay. - You're right.

What if all twenty songs are like that?

There is someone who sings like that.

Almost everyone at my agency are like that and there's Lucid Fall.

But there are many people than you think who want to listen to such whispering singing.

If...

Not once did you sing in you voice.

No.

I'm being realistic here.

Have you ever sung in your voice?

Yes.

Have you ever had singing lessons?

No.

Learned on your own? - Yes.

I'll use my wild card.

Forget what I said and only remember what they said.

I look forward to how you changed next round.

See you in the next round. Congratulations.

The tears just fall...

No one told me how I'm singing or what I need to do.

So...

...I'm happy to hear that.

I was grateful to the judges.

Are you going to be objective this year?

Yeah.

The contestants are practicing in the waiting room with a serious look.

Maybe the tension reached them as they practice to the last minute.

There's a young girl with earphones on.

Hello.

I want to learn K-pop.

I'm Kwon Hye-In. I'm 15 from New Jersey.

Glad to meet you.

Do you know Amateur Night at the Apollo?

Of course! When I was young...

That has been going on since we were young.

Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Usher were discovered through it.

JYP and I grew up watching that when we didn't have the internet.

She won that. - It was on AFKN.

You're nervous, right? - Just a little.

You're really nervous. You should relax.

Maintain that feeling. You may begin.

That's enough.
