Entertainment auditions *sigh*

So hey guys, Im pretty down the past few months because my dream is to sing in a kpop group but the problem is... Im only a quarter Indonesian and three quarter Dutch... I even asked my parents if they would let me do audition for some things and they said yes but they dont want me to audition out of the country yet. So I did a few auditions I got rejected two times and I got accepted for one time and that was a festival project. So I preformed there and I was in the acting section so yeah and I came to know that I like acting and singing and I really want to do audition for SM entertainment or maybe JYP or something. I know SM isnt a caring entertainment buisness but still. I am just saying, SNSD works for them, Super Junior works for them, EXO, Red Velvet, SHINee, TVXQ, BoA and Kangta and ofcourse f(x) and those artists are all in my top 20 you see. SNSD ofcourse on my number one... My aunt and cousin told me that I should study music go to Seoul find a job and a home there and maybe do auditions for SM or applicate myself as an manager there or something like that. They told me to start it slow like doing auditions here in the Netherlands so I listened to them... But I really want to get in SMent. but they never come here... Ottokhe~ *cries*

 

It makes me so depressed knowing I will never get in SM... Please tell me what to do should I not give up hope or just start searching for an entertainment buisness here in my country... AISH THIS IS FRUSTRATING

I, in no way, shape, or form, think that you should give up on your dream, okay? If that's something you really want to do, then you should go for it, and I'm only writing this to be...informative, not crushing in any way. I just want to point out a few things about the K-pop industry and things that may help? you. Well, first things first, to make it into one of the big companies, you have to speak fluent Korean. By fluent I mean, you have to be able to know idioms, how to be humorous, understand all parts of the language, etc. If companies see you don't speak Korean there a lot less likely to pick you because Korea really wants to see Koreans (or people who at least know Korean) in their music industry because no matter what people think, K-pop idols have to impress Koreans before international fans. Next, I know you said that you didn't care that SM has really bad management, but I really think you should think that through before signing 7+ years of your life away to a company that won't give you a day off even if you've got the worst flu in history. Now, even though SM is pretty bad when it comes to that, you can't think that other companies are 100% better. This brings me to my next point of are you ready to give up your freedom? You won't be able to do the same things in your life anymore, you'll be going to maybe 4+ shows a day all over Korea when your promoting and you'll be expected to do your best at each one. You'll have to put away any drama that might be going on between you and your group members (because let's face it when you literally spend 24/7 with the same people, things are going to get rough) and still act like nothings going on. This is only about 1/3 of what I wanted to inform you on, but I was beginning to write a huge paragraph. I also do not want you to think that I'm trying to pull your dreams down, I'd just hate to see someone be blindsided by what they think exists in the K-pop universe only to find out too late what it's really like
