Responding to queries from CNA Lifestyle, Rachel Lee, marketing director of SM Universe (Singapore), shared that while Sophie Heng’s audition details remain “strictly confidential”, she “enjoyed the audition and she felt more prepared for the opportunity” after the PTP.
The PTP, Lee shared, is “designed to simulate the K-pop trainee training system” where students undergo 10 weeks of vocal and dance training in Singapore before heading to Seoul, South Korea for a week-long immersion at the academy’s headquarters.
At the end of the immersion week, all students can audition for invited K-pop labels in Seoul, while top performers will be chosen for private auditions with SM Entertainment.
Sophie Heng had exhibited “steady growth and a proactive ‘trainee mindset’” throughout the programme. “Her consistency and hunger to learn made her a standout candidate for the SM Entertainment audition,” Lee added.
