Who Can Apply and Which Categories Are Available
Applicants must have been born in or after 2008. There are no restrictions on gender or nationality, and applicants must choose one category from vocal, rap, dance, or other. The other category includes instruments, acting, and composition. Applicants should therefore confirm that their birth year and intended category meet the official application requirements.

How Will Successful Applicants Be Notified?
After preregistration, first-round successful applicants will receive individual emails with their in-person audition time and important instructions. Final successful applicants will be contacted individually. The officially confirmed materials do not state that this audition is for a specific debut lineup or a follow-up group to LE SSERAFIM.
