The JYP USA Audition Tour kicked off with a bang at the lovely Waikiki Resort Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii on October 25th! Many talented people showed up for the Hawaii audition and the general feedback was great! On a side note, our very own johnnydorama used to work at the Waikiki Resort Hotel during his college days... haha! One down, and many cities to go, but next up on the audition tour is Los Angeles, California on October 31st (Halloween). On the day of trick or treating, what better treat than an opportunity to become a star? If you can't make it out to Los Angeles, there's still many opportunities, as they will be touring across the country. Make sure to check out the schedule below and let us know about your experiences! And if you get selected, make sure to drop by in a few years so we can do a special feature on you! Check out the audition website for more info.
