In a statement, SM Universe (Singapore) said that the academy will provide students with “first-class comprehensive learning opportunities developed and delivered by K-pop industry veterans”.
These include a 21-week intensive programme comprising lessons on vocals, dancing, music production and stage presence.
To cap off the programme, students will embark on a one-week training session at the SM Universe’s Seoul campus. The top students will then have the opportunity to audition with South Korean entertainment agencies.
Speaking to CNA Lifestyle, the spokesperson for SM Universe (Singapore) said that the 21-week programme will cost approximately US$10,000 (S$13,450).
“While there is no fixed age limit for the programme, we expect the majority of the students to be aged between 13 and 18 years old,” the spokesperson added.
