This is the most important audition of the month. The 2026 BIGHIT MUSIC GLOBAL AUDITION runs online and offline at the same time.
| Region | Cities |
|---|---|
| Asia | Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi |
| Oceania | Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland |
| North America | Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto |
| City | Date | Venue | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jakarta | Sun, Oct 25 — walk-in from 11:00 | Ayana Midplaza Jakarta | CNA Indonesia, KapanLagi |
| Singapore | Sat, Oct 24 — 11:00 AM | Metropolitan YMCA Singapore | Official HYBE LABELS AUDITION notice |
| Bangkok | Sat, Nov 14 | Kpop Training Center | CNA Indonesia |
⚠️ Dates for the other 12 cities — including Seoul, Tokyo, Los Angeles and Sydney — remain unconfirmed. Singapore's Oct 24 date is from the official HYBE LABELS AUDITION notice. Check the BIGHIT MUSIC audition site before travelling.
Why walk-in matters: you don't have to pass a video screening first. If you were unsure about your online video, the offline format may suit you better. Expect long queues, though — prepare a short, strong section of your song or dance rather than a full piece.
The 2026 YG Global Audition is YG's first large-scale global search in two years, touring from July through December.
| When | City |
|---|---|
| Jul 20 | Beijing |
| Jul 26 | Chengdu |
| Aug 1 | Shanghai |
| Aug 9 | Shenzhen · Tokyo |
| Sep 20 | Osaka |
| October | United States · Taiwan · Hong Kong |
| November | Thailand · Canada |
| December | Australia · New Zealand |
⚠️ Exact October dates and cities for the US, Taiwan and Hong Kong have not been announced. YG says venues and schedules are released one by one on its audition site and social channels, and some cities take advance registration while others are on-site only. Check the YG audition site before booking.
Unlike BIGHIT, YG has no gender restriction. For female applicants, YG is the key October option. See which agencies accept girls in our girl group audition guide.
According to JYP's official audition page, online auditions are open all year.
There is no October deadline, so spend the time polishing your video. Note that JYP's 20th open trainee audition (Dec 1, 2025 – Feb 1, 2026) has already closed — posts saying it is still open are outdated.
The 2026 SM GLOBAL AUDITION is touring 21 regions.
⚠️ Which SM cities run in October has not been confirmed. City dates appear only on SM's official audition site.
Offline audition season also brings more fake casting scams. Three rules catch most of them:

K-POPJYP’s online model category asks for walking and three poses. Check the category instructions and current form before sending; submitted auditions cannot be modified.

K-POPThere is no verified TOPIK score requirement in the JYP online audition evidence checked on October 8, 2026 KST. Do not treat a supposed “TOPIK II 80%” benchmark as an admission rule or a fast track. The evidence also does not prove that every application step or later conversation can be completed in English.

K-POPCheck whether your submission completed, keep your contact channel available, and plan your next practice or application around verified instructions. JYP’s online audition notice says only successful applicants are individually notified. It states no response deadline, so silence does not give you a reliable result date or explain what a reviewer thought.

K-POPYes: JYP’s online audition listed no nationality restriction when checked on October 8, 2026 KST. That answers whether a foreign applicant can enter this particular audition. It does not establish eligibility for every agency, a place as a trainee, or permission to move to Korea.
