“We picked K-pop because there is a demand for it on two fronts – from agencies searching for new talent, and young talent searching for a breakthrough in the entertainment industry besides Hollywood.” — Angela Lee, director, The Academy

Aussie fans wanting a taste of K-pop training are turning to The Academy, a Sydney-based agency that runs experiential K-pop boot camps, choreography and other tailored programs and reality TV-style workshops. Those attending also get the chance to work with professional trainers and consultants from top entertainment agencies across Asia.

Ms Lee says the boot camp gives those interested in being k-pop idols the opportunity to get a taste for trainee life while being monitored thoroughly by the agency’s Korean trainers, all of whom have had industry experience in Korea.
The best-performing trainees last year were given the opportunity to privately audition for a Korean agency through a prepared video and photo portfolio, which was a special privilege. Usually, foreign k-pop hopefuls must attend a ‘global audition’ hosted by an entertainment company in their home country, where their audition will be recorded by representatives and sent to Korea.

The 15-year-old dancer is campaigning for a free chance to enter a seven-day reality-television style boot camp with Australian agency The Academy in September.
This is a dream-come true for Renae, who has been trying to master techniques for high-energy K-pop moves for about 18 months.
“I am so excited to get an experience to be like a K-pop idol,” Renae said. “Dances are really intense and up-beat. K-pop has all types of styles of dance, too. It’s also like the music we listen to, but it’s in Korean.”

호주에서는 한국 기획사의 오디션 기회가 적은 가운데 지난해부터 열리고 있는 ‘K-Pop Boot Camp in Australia(호주 K팝부트캠프)’가 주목되고 있다. 부트캠프는 끼와 재능이 있는 호주의 K-Pop 아티스트의 꿈나무들에게 한국의 K-Pop 기획사 연습생 과 같은 트레이닝 프로그램을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 작년에는 9월 26일부터 10월 1일까지 시드니에서 개최되어 33명의 수료생을 배출하는 성공적인 성과를 보인 바가 있다. 금년으로 2회째를 맞이하는 호주 K-Pop 부트캠프가 오는 9월 24일부터 10월 1일까지 8일간에 걸쳐 퀸즐랜드주의 주도 브리즈번에서 개최될 예정이다.

“TELL your story.”
“I don’t have one,” Alina Dempsey, 13, whispers back to her mother, at the start of her interview about how she has been accepted into a national K-Pop ‘boot camp’.
Alina is shy at first and lets her mother Kerrie speak for her, but grows more talkative when the topic focuses on her love for Korean Pop.
The Mount Isa schoolgirl was accepted into The Academy Australia’s week-long program, which begins on Sunday in Brisbane. The Academy held auditions across Australia and online and accepted 40 trainees.

“We’re here for the long term,” stresses Lee, likely alluding to previous K-pop programs in Sydney which emerged then suddenly collapsed.

Kpop Boot Camp Australia 2017 Trainee Alina

16岁本地女生萧玲诗，与家人定居澳大利亚墨尔本。
她前年和去年分别在悉尼和布里斯班参加澳洲公司The Academy主办的“KPOP培训营”，体验练习生生活。The Academy由本地人李春华（37岁）创办，为韩国多家娱乐公司寻找新人。
萧玲诗与记者分享培训日程：每天凌晨四五点起身，暖身拉筋吃早餐，7点开始一天12个小时的训练。

She dived into further details: "For many of our trainees, the K-pop boot camp could be an amazing seven-day coming-of-age experience. Some will walk away with new friends and others walk away with more confidence in themselves. Trainees realising that they are so much more than what they previously thought is the most rewarding. Getting scouted is a bonus, but knowing that they are actually capable of setting goals and finishing is more important as this is a mentality that I hope the trainees will take with them and use when they are faced with challenges in the future. Do not give up because you know you can do it.
