Our company’s audition theme “Come as you are” is open to all young people who want a place where they can make the most of their individuality, even those who have never taken lessons such as acting, dancing, or singing. It expresses the desire to make it an audition. As per this theme, about 4000 unique applicants from 12 to 19 years old gathered for this audition from all over the country.
