“Yasushi Akimoto, about to bring AKB48's sucess to Korea?”

Alert, South Korea, because an idol revolution will start soon!

Yasushi Akimoto, producer and manager of the Japanese hit group, AKB48, will bring the sucessful franchise to, nothing else than Seoul, in South Korea!

SEU48, a name that stands for "Seoul 48", will be the Korean counterpart of AKB48. The group will be formed by 48 girls divided in three groups of 16 girls each one: Team S, Team E and Team U. The group will be signed under DSP Media (The same as talented girl bands like KARA and Rainbow), and unlike the Indonesian counterpart, Akimoto won't take a main role in the production of the group. The Korean manager and producer will be Kim Myung-Hee, a young underground DJ that will make his debut as the producer of the newcomer group.

“The thing that I want to make, is something very different than the traditional Korean group concept. I’d like to bring an ‘Exportation product’ Made in Korea. A brand new different thing, that I’m sure that everyone is going to enjoy” Akimoto says.

“To all the interested girls, I’ll give you the message:

The auditions will be held at Sejong Cultural Center, in August 6^th at 11:30 AM. We are looking for girls between 14 and 23 years old. No matter where are they from. We just want girls that are interested in singing and dancing that want to exploit their skills.” Myung-Hee says.
