To find trainees for the new year, JYP Entertainment is holding their 10th annual official audition across South Korea.

Participants are requested to apply online by uploading a video of their performance on the portal site Daum and attend the second round of auditions held in various regions across the country. It has also been revealed that one lucky participant who is recognized for their outstanding talent will receive a 'JYPass', which will enable him or her to immediately move on to the final round without going through the normal judging process.

The second round of offline auditions will be held in Dongju College, Busan on January 5th and at the JYP Training Center in Seoul on January 19th and 20th. The final round of performances will be held on February 24th when the ultimate winner will be revealed.

The JYPE talent management team stated, "Starting December 7th, the online audition began through portal site Daum and its mobile app. Currently, the inquiries and uploads by the many participants are not ceasing. We ask that future stars who want to fulfill their dreams through JYPE try out."

The JYP official audition began back in September 2007 and gave way for current idol stars, such as 2PM's Wooyoung and JJ Project's JB and Jr.
