Auditon Boon In Korea

Sometimes, I watch a audition program which is called ‘Superstar K3.’ When I watch it last Friday, there were 7 participants who have to compete with each other for getting the first prize. The only one of them will be a winner in this program. This program will give a winner to 1 hundred million won a chance to his or her own first music album with popular producers and a ticket to travel in Australia. Even though the participant can’t be a winner, he or she can be famous and a singer after finishing this program or omitted from there.

This program is very famous in Korea. As the presenters said that there are many competition audition programs and it is more famous than other television programs these days. I think that the reasons why people love to participate in this kind of audition programs and watch them are that the participants are not special people and they have actual stories about their personal life then they become a popular person through these programs. The viewer can know their personal stories and sympathize with them. Also, people can join the competition without restriction. It is one of the reasons why people love them.

Some reviewers, however, worry about this syndrome. Some of the participants are too young to compete with others and be evaluated by others. Although there are many criticisms, the rate of view is increasing more than other programs.

I think that these programs directors should consider that not only the rate of view but also their influence on Korean society through the programs.
