Channel A launches its very own K-Pop audition program, 'Youth Star'

AKP STAFF

Channel A will be launching its very own K-Pop audition program, headed by the producers of the on-screen dating reality 'Heart Signal'. 

Titled 'Youth Star', the upcoming audition program is seeking contestants in three categories: the 'idol' category, the 'singer/song-writer' category, and the 'vocal' category. 

In each category, 'Youth Star' is looking for these four factors and talents to make it as the next generation K-Pop star: visuals, performance, song-writing, and vocals. According to the teaser above, the 'idol' category places greater emphasis on visuals and performance, while the 'singer/song-writer' category places more emphasis on song-writing or composing. Similar to the 'idol' category, the 'vocal' category places strong emphasis on visuals and vocals. 

Meanwhile, 'Youth Star' will pit together a total of 109 contestants through a series of survival rounds, including 48 in the 'idol' category, 30 in the 'singer/song-writer' category, and 31 in the 'vocal' category.

'Youth Star' is slated to premiere on Channel A next month in April. What do you think of the audition's format so far?
