So, I'm 15, girl, and I want to be a singer. I'm not Korean, I'm not an Asian of any sort. I'm full on European (Ukrainian/Russian). I know English fluently 100% and I live in America.
I asked this type of question before, the only answers I got was "You can't be in K-Pop if you're not Korean" which is total bull because, hello? Look at Alexandra Reid. She's African American.
So... singing/rapping/dancing/entertaining has always been my passion, and I am constantly learning new songs for memory, whether it be in Korean or in English (mostly Korean though lol).
I auditioned for JYP, YG, and BIGHIT so far (online)... and didn't get accepted into any of them :(
Honestly saying, I do not think I suck. And trust me when I say this, because I am ALWAYS hard on myself. So I'm being honest.
Should I just keep auditioning? What could I do that'll make my chances higher of getting in?

It's possible to be a k-pop star if you aren't Asian, but that doesn't mean it will be easy. There are some that will be narrow-minded about you being European instead. The important thing is to work hard, keep practicing, and never lose sight of your goal.
As for how to make your chances higher. Everyone looks for something different. Be prepared for anything even if it was unplanned. Of course they want talent, but they also want originality and passion. [ lilly3675's advice column | Ask lilly3675 A Question ]
