Yes. The vast majority of Koreans don’t have stinky BO, so their deopdorants can be just like a light perfume lol. They don’t carry a lot of the heavy sweat deoodorants like in the West.

You can buy deodorant there but it's EXPENSIVE and people say it's not as good as the ones from outside Korea. Also I only saw 3 different types of deodorant all from Nivea

[@KaotikBOOO]

​@@Sophie-dd5xr they do have stinky BO, only their sweat doesn't smell. There's a lot of other BO outside of sweat you know xD And even regarding sweat, the sweat itself doesn't smell but bacteria will still develop in it so clothes will still stink afterwards just not at the start

[@Sophie-dd5xr]

@@KaotikBOOO Dude. I’m Asian and also lack the smelly BO gene. I’ve never had to wear deodorant in my life, even through middle school when basically everyone else at school had massive sprays and deodorant to cover their puberty odors. We lack the gene that creates the lipids in sweat that BO bacteria feed on. Trust me. Its called the ABCC11 gene. I’ve also lived and taught middle school in Korea as well as played on coed sports teams. We don’t smell even when we do heavy sweating and exercise. My sister and I have never smelled ourselves and gone “woah, I need a shower!” after working out. We don’t smell. We do need to shower but we don’t do it out of smelling bad. We do it for general good hygiene. Also the vast majority of Koreans take showers daily religiously regardless of having BO or not. They’re just a very clean cultured people. Please don’t try to school me on my own race and body.

Hi... I'm new to ur channel can u plz do a video on online auditions plz ..... 😁 Btw ur channel is amazing 🤩

[@KawaiiKermit]

She’s not a trainee. Online auditions are just regular auditions but for people online. As someone who has been in the performing industry in musical theatre, you need to actually read what the instructions are for each company you apply for. That’s literally it. To have an advantage you should invest in a vocal coach if you want to audition with singing or get good at creating your own lyrics for rap because they ask you to do more after the initial application if you’re good enough to pass. For dance you will need to be flexible and have very good rhythm and creativity. You cannot be mediocre unless you are insanely pretty. For the photos you will want to get the best lighting you can find, watch natural makeup tutorials that are for your skin but better because they won’t accept photos of heavy makeup, and be in decent shape for the full body pictures. Wear tighter fitting clothes so that it is clear to see your body shape. Once you have practiced and rehearsed whatever it is you are auditioning with you need to film it. For singing and rap you need to do it without background music and in a place that isn’t too echoing, a microphone can help but make sure they don’t see it in the video because you can easily change your voice with external mics. With dance, book a studio and do your 30 sec- 1 min worth of dance routine. AVOID kpop dances and especially those that are from the company because on a real one, you aren’t good enough to be compared to idols who have been professionally trained so unless you are a semi pro yourself with a decent amount of experience from professionals (taking dance classes will help) just avoid kpop dances. Make sure you are aware and have researched the style of the company you are applying for and choose your song or dance wisely. If you can create your own choreography, that’s even better because they usually put on some random song and make you dance to it in the real life audition after the prelims. Expect to be rejected, expect to be rejected a lot. Because again, unless you are insanely pretty, you need to have actual talent that catches the eye of recruiters. I know an sm recruiter for sm jpn, she rejects some amazing people daily, it’s not easy. You have to train yourself to accept failure and to try again until you get a request to have audition 2 and you need to know your body and vocals well. Be serious about this

[@caesar2514]

Legally, yes. The problem is, Korea is a very homogenous country, so it's likely you'll still be considered a foreigner because you aren't ethnically Korean.
