[Battle] SM vs. YG vs. JYP

The battle among Korea’s top three agencies rages on as SM, YG and JYP all unveiled grand plans to hold large scale auditions within the year in search of K-Pop’s next big thing.

While the agencies’ artists battle it out on the K-Pop charts, SM, YG and JYP are planning ahead, seeking to gain a competitive edge in search of undiscovered talent that will lead the future of K-Pop.

So, we’re going back to the age-old question: Which agency is the best? Let us know by voting!

SM

SM Entertainment pulled out of SBS’ K-Pop Star series this season, but the agency is still searching for idol hopefuls to take under its wings, announcing plans in February to scour the world for undiscovered talent through the 2014 SM Global Audition.

Super Junior-M’s Henry, f(x)’s Amber and EXO’s Kris are among the idols who were picked up through the global audition, and SM is looking to Korea, China, Japan, America, Canada, Indonesia and Thailand this year with hopes of digging up diamonds in the rough.

YG

Just a few days ago, YG Entertainment announced it will hold auditions in Greater China for the first time, with plans to make stops in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong beginning on March 29 in search of hidden talent.

While SM and JYP have already debuted multiethnic idol groups, YG finally jumping on the bandwagon is sure to excite foreigners who want a shot at K-Pop stardom via the agency.

JYP

As SM and YG focus on global talent, JYP Entertainment is zoning in on a specific group: Teenagers.

JYP announced it will be launching an audition exclusively for teens (those born between 1996 and 2003) via the JYP Dream Teen Audition, which will take place on April 5.

The rest of us may not be getting any younger, but the future of K-Pop sure is thanks so JYP.
