What does a music entertainment company do?

Audition for F&C Music? (CN Blue, FT Island)?

• 1. I'm an Asian with the same skin color as a Korean, and I'm wondering whether it's possible for a foreigner to join F&C Music? I'm studying Korean now and would be proficient in a few years time. 2. I wish to audition to get in to F&C Music when I'm 21 years old. I know it will be quite old for me if I were to audition for SM Entertainment, JYP, YG etc... but is it okay for F&C Music? I know that FT Island members started very early when most of them are 17/18 years old, and CN Blue's oldest member is 21. 3. I'm confident that I will be extremely proficient in playing guitar and in singing because I have practiced for a very long time and will continue to practice till I am 21. I play the guitar, piano and I practice singing on my own. I am 16 now by the way. So do I still need to undergo an extremely rigorous training schedule? I have composed a few songs on my own, and more to come over the next few years. Will i be able to share my songs with the company? I'm not boasting that I'm excellent in music, but I believe hard work will definitely pay off, right? 4. Let's say that I do get into the company, will I be teamed with a few members to form a band? (well, I'm kinda hoping for that) 5. Will I live in a dormitory with other trainees? F&C Music has trainees right? 6. How long will it take to debut? What if I'm very good at singing and playing my instruments? 7. Is there a way to audition via mail/ email? 8. I'm kinda worried that I'll be too old to break into the Korean music industry, so is it okay for me? I will be setting up a Youtube channel too, can I use that as an advantage? Once it garners popularity... I'm not boasting or bragging that I'm all-that-awesome, but I think I'm cut out for what it takes to become a musician. I've received compliments that I should become a model because of my height and good looks but I would never want to embark on that kind of a career; as music is and will always be my passion. I would really appreciate it if anyone would answer my question because I'm dead set on music as part of my career and I really wish to live in Korea in the future. Is 21 really too old? And will they accept foreigners? I mean say someone who looks like a Korean and speaks fluent Korean? :)

• Answer:

  You should audition early if you're going to, coz they usually train you for Korean and singing/dancing etc. if you have promise. And if you're going to debut as an idol, there won't really be a lot of time to go to university, unless you want to take a less rigorous course.
