How to get audition information for K-Movie Drama

Is there an actor you should like to be cast in a Korean Netflix movie, a theater release, or a TV drama? Do you want to be model in Korea? You should know the audition information first, right? 

So let me introduce you to a site that provides that information. This site is not for foreigners only. However, there are often updated articles here that recruit non-Korean models or foreigners for minor or supporting roles who wish to appear in movie or dramas.

If you do not want to sign a contract with a model or actor agency in Korea, sign up for free on the site I'm telling you form now on and submit your profile directly to the email address they ask for. 

Now, you are agency and actor for your self. Good luck!

Don't forget that the search terms must also be written in Korean because the people who write audition notice do not write in foreign languages. 

The best search term is '외국인'. The search results are as follows.

⑦ If you don't know Korean well, You need google translator. Use the translation function provided by Chrome. I'll give you an example form one of these posts to explain what to do.

The content below is the details written by the film producer. By referring to these contents, you will be able to decide whether or not the work is worthy of your application. Again, if you are not familiar with Korean, please use Google Translate. Or you could hire a Korean as your manager.

Also, there may be attachments, so be sure to check them out.

⑨ Submit your profile by email

[*.ppt, pdf] You must have two types of profile files. Some producers don't check profiles sent by applicants who don't accept the desired file type. So you have two file types. If you're not sure what type of file they're asking for, send them both. 

And you must include your phone number in your profile. Because they are more comfortable calling or texting you than replying to an email. If there is a role you want, apply for it. 

⑩ Wait until the application deadline

If you have submitted your profile, you can be sure of your acceptance after the application deadline. If they reply to you, it's your first pass, and if they don't, you'll be rejected. If you pass, congratulations, and if you fail, apply again for another audition. Good luck. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
