Los Angeles, CA, 7/12/11 – The Los Angeles Audition for the 2nd season of “MBC Star Audition” has attracted attention from all over the world. Aspiring singers from countries as far away as Singapore and Germany have sent in applications to be part of the auditioning process. Judging by the on‐line submissions, an ever‐growing number of Non‐Koreans are eager to become a part of the K‐pop world.

Contestants who audition on Saturday (7/16/11, at the Sheraton Downtown Los Angeles) will be judged by industry professionals who have decades of cumulative experience. Among the judges will be Adrian Park, an instructor from the prestigious Musicians Institute in Hollywood, and William Pyon, a music producer who has worked with famed K‐pop artists such as Seo Taiji, BoA, and TVXQ. 3 of last season’s finalists, David Oh, Tae Kwon Lee, and Hee Joo Chung, have been confirmed to appear at the Los Angeles auditions, and fans will be able to meet them.

It’s not too late to audition! On‐line applications are still available at MBC’s website: http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/ent/audition2/apply/usa/index.html The deadline for application is July 15, 2011 – however, walk‐in applicants on the day of auditions will be accepted. While we encourage everyone to audition inperson, a Youtube audition page has been established for those unable to attend –
contestants will be able to submit their videos shortly. http://www.youtube.com/user/mbcaudition
