JYP Entertainment:
Park Jin Young has shared in the past that he tends to look for healthy and educated people when selecting people to join his company. Park Jin Young said “Whether they are men or women, I like those who are healthy. Even if your singing and dancing skills are fantastic, I can’t help them if they aren’t brilliant, pure and healthy.
Park Jin Young also tries to find artists who have both the skills and the personality. He does this because he wants his artists to be happy throughout their careers. Park Jin Young continued: “Between skill and personality, if someone lacks one of the two, I will help them acquire both. But my dream is to find artists who have both qualities. Making money is important, but you have to be able to be happy while doing it.”
YG Entertainment:
For Yang Hyun Suk, YG has always prioritized musical talents over anything else. He said “To prioritize, the ranking goes to someone who is talented, someone who works hard and someone who is kind.”
Yang Hyun Suk was also looking for people who were passionate about their careers. He continued “If you really want to do your best until the end and are enthusiastic about the time you put into music, you can come to YG.”
SM Entertainment:
It seems that SM Entertainment values those who are talented, as well as those who learn from their mistakes. According to Mydaily, a former trainee shared that SM Entertainment has extreme standards and that trainees are severely punished if they make even the simplest mistake. The trainee revealed: “If you are late or go against the rules you have to sing while running around the rehearsal room 10 times.”
The intern added: “If you do something wrong, write down what you did wrong, and you are not allowed to practice until you can clearly state what you did wrong. Furthermore, SM Entertainment idols are also known for their visual appearance, which easily impresses audiences at first glance.
