When auditioning for K-pop, does your appearance matter as long as you can dance well?

Sawasdee ka!
I live in Chiang Mai with my mom, dad, grandma, and my cat named Moo Moo.
Every evening after school, I watch K-pop videos and dance in front of the mirror in my room.
I love BLACKPINK so much, especially Lisa! She is Thai like me, and that makes me feel very proud.

But I always wonder… how did Lisa go to Korea? Did someone from Korea come to Thailand and find her?
Or did she send her dancing videos to a company? Was she scared when she left Thailand alone?
She is so confident and cool on stage, but was she nervous like me when she was younger?

I really want to be like her one day. I practice dancing every day and I try to sing K-pop songs too.
But I don’t know what to do first. How do Thai girls go to Korea and become real idols?
Can I do it too, even if I live far from Bangkok and don’t speak Korean yet?

If Lisa did it, maybe I can try too... but I don’t know where to start.
Can someone please tell me how it works? I want to follow my dream, just like she did.

Hi! My name is Hani and I’m 10 years old. I live in Yokohama, Japan.
I really love K-pop, especially TWICE and LE SSERAFIM. I found out that some of the members, like Mina, Sakura, and Chaewon, are from Japan, just like me!

I think they are so cool and beautiful. They sing and dance so well, and they speak Korean too!
I wonder... how did they go to Korea? Did they send videos from Japan or did they go to Korea when they were still kids?
Did someone from a company find them, or did they audition by themselves?

I really want to become an idol one day too, but I don’t know where to start.
Can a normal girl like me from Japan also follow the same path?
I practice dancing in my room every day and sing along to Korean songs, even though I don't understand all the words yet.

If I keep trying hard like they did, do you think I can make it to Korea too?
I want to know how Japanese girls become K-pop idols… so I can try too.

Konnichiwa, I’m Yuna and I go to school near a big temple. I like wearing yukata and also dancing to LE SSERAFIM songs in my room. My grandma says idols look like anime girls! I want to be one too. But what if my dancing is not fast enough yet? Will Korean teachers help me get better, even if I start slow?

Lisa from BLACKPINK is my biggest inspiration. She came from Thailand and made it all the way to Korea to become a world-famous idol. I want to do the same, but I don’t know where to begin. What kind of training did Lisa do before she went to Korea? And how can a Thai girl like me follow in her footsteps?❤️

I’ve loved K-pop since I was 8 years old, and I really want to become an idol someday. But I live in Jakarta and I’ve never been to Korea, so I don’t know how to start. Are there any online auditions I can join from here? And do I have to be really good already, or can I apply even if I’m still learning? I want to know how Indonesian kids like me can take the first step.

What do Koreans think of Indians?
I'm going to live in Korea for a few months for a K-pop audition. I'm a little scared and nervous.

I want to buy some things during Korean class. If I buy one class for $1, can I continue taking the class?

What dance should I do to get a high score on an audition? Should I do something very difficult?
