SS501 Kyu Jong shocking revelation: 'I was the only one who had to audition to pass, the others were accepted without any audition!'

SS501 selection process revealed.

On the night of 26 on Happy Together, Kyu Jong revealed: 'I had to audition for about 4 years before I finally succeeded, the other 4 entered DSP through the President's connections'.

Kyu who aspired to be a singer since young, said: 'Been auditioning for 4 years. In a famous, planning company, I finally saw members who were all accepted without any audition/interview, and I understood that there was also the easy route. Because all the other 4 members were selected through connections.'

Kyu said, "Jung Min is the President's high school junior, and a noona that JM knew introduced Hyun Joong hyung'. To this, Leader said: "'So I went to try and see, and I was selected on the spot -- (they said) 'let's settle on this one'".

Kyu continued, "Maknae is the son of the President's friend. Finally Young Seang knows a noona who knows Maknae, and hence went to audition', thus revealing the other members' selection process.

Leader, who participated in the show with Kyu, said: "so actually besides Kyu Jong, the others were selected through Jung Min". causing laughter on the set.

well what kyu said was only partly true.. because we all knwo that young saeng was with SM for several years as a trainee (to become part of SUJU) and maknae was a trainee with DSP way before the other boys came. he was the first to enter DSP, not jung min. so i'm sure everyone has their fair share of hardship, not just kyu.

^ Maybe kyu was saying hjb entered dsp last time (before the others entered) cos he's son of president's friend. That being said, i dont think kyu meant he was the only one who suffered. im sure all have their hard times while training. He's just saying how the boys entered dsp. Besides, this colourful tidbit makes the show more interesting isnt it? It's all for entertainment purposes.

Sorry if i sound over-defensive or anything. Just that there are several issues reported by media that have misled some people ever since the boys did their comeback.

Hi Anonymous, everyone (or at least TS) knows that regardless of how they got into DSP, the 5 of them had to go through very tough training and put in lots of hard work to get to where they are today.

Kyu was just stating what actually happened, I don't think people would misunderstand, so don't worry about it :D
