SM Entertainment launches K-pop academy for aspiring idols
SM Universe Academy, a K-pop educational institution co-founded by SM Entertainment, has recently opened its doors to its first-ever cohort of students.
Earlier today, the school, located in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, welcomed aspiring stars to the start of a three-year program that helps students learn how to break into the K-pop industry.
Each cohort will reportedly consist of 120 students, with auditions for the next one set to start in July or August. Aspiring idols will expect to pay between 8.8 to 10 million Korean won (approximately $6,680 to $7,590) per term, depending on their major.
