MBC will be picking contestants from all over the globe to compete for a cash prize and a chance to debut as a pop�singer in Korea - We're hoping to see one of our readers on stage, so make sure you bring it! Contestants who pass the initial audition phase will be flown to Korea in mid August�to compete against other finalists for the grand prize, and an opportunity to become�an international singing sensation. Finalists who travel to Korea will receive mentoring from notable Korean pop�celebrities � last season, singers such as Tae Won Kim (of Boohwal), Seung Hun�Shin, and Yoon-Ah Kim (of Jaurim) participated in the mentoring process. The auditions are open to anyone, with no age, gender, or ethnicity requirements ��the only prerequisite is that contestants should be able to sing at least one song in�Korean. Fluency in Korean is not necessary, however.
