This was their notice for their lead and supporting roles audition

"A memory that suddenly crossed my mind while news about actor Kim Soohyun gets uploaded every two hours.

The public audition for the movie Real was held at Octagon Club back then. The audition instructions were, "Since you're supposed to be in the club, attend in club attire."

During the day, young actresses stood in line in revealing outfits in front of Nonhyeon Intersection, and the club was filled with young women doing their best for the movie casting, dancing on tables, hanging from the bar.

I vaguely remember camera operators filming the scene, but did any actresses actually get cast from that audition...? I never heard any news about it.

More than the opportunity of a public audition, I received late-night calls from film directors, production company representatives, and even managers. I ended up changing my phone number and leaving that place ten years ago.

From the perspective of the public, I still feel this has never changed."

"It's just like those circulating audition reviews ㅋㅋ. Here's what I strongly felt after that experience: an over-the-top and "acting without acting" audition.

The production company, labeled as a "cultural industry professional company," felt like one of those fly-by-night operations. But it's not uncommon for a company to be set up just for a specific project, so I guess it could be okay.
It was strange that the audition was held in a club during the day. The notice did say to wear club attire, but I ignored it and just wore whatever I felt like. Some girls wore something like a hostess dress, but there were also some who just came in normal clothes.
When I arrived at the club, they handed out stickers to put on our phone camerasㅋㅋㅋ They told us not to film, but who's going to stop someone from filming? It all started feeling over-the-top.
All the audition participants were sitting around, but the staff were acting like they were at the club, and they said they'd just film us if we were having fun. At this point, I started to think it was weird.
Because how can they know who the good candidates are if they're filming? The place was dark, you couldn't see anyone acting, and there were no participant numbers or name tags to help identify anyone.
They didn't make us act at all. Before the audition started, it suddenly got really quiet, and I heard a candidate from the staff’s side doing a monologue, but I think they just asked randomly without any purpose. They'd only film if you were having fun.
Normally, auditions have you prepare a free performance, and then they give you specific scenes to act, but there was none of that here.
Then the lights went out, and the "real" audition(?) started. A few people with cameras started walking around filming, haha. Even though it was an audition, I was scared they'd film me, and when the camera came close, I got annoyed. I seriously considered leaving and going home. I thought, "Are they filming aspiring actors just to use it somewhere else?"
In the end, I decided to leave, but the guard or staff member standing by the door was like, "Oh, why are you leaving so soon?" They acted like I was a guest ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I wonder if that movie will do well (it felt like it was being done on a whim). It wasn't an audition; I strongly felt like I was just a bystander. I don't know, everything about it felt off.
There was nothing typical about it, and I couldn’t help but think, "Is it really worth it for the actors?" So I went for coffee instead... Inside the club, it felt almost like a blind, aimless atmosphere, which made me feel uncomfortable. It seemed like a very, very strange group."

1. This sounds f*cking disgusting

2. The more you peel... If this was in 2015, it means that it only got exposed 10 years later... Wow this is crazy. This p**v*** f*cker is part of a gang or something... I hope the rest of the celebrities in his company escape

3. They weren't assessing the actors' acting skills, but they were using it as some kind of job interviews for shady businesses

4. Don't they usually ask your contact information and put it somewhere in auditions? This is so weird...

5. Wow this is such a mess

6. Crazy, you can see the intentions are clear

7. F*ck this is so creepy and weird. Is this real?

8. What the? This is crazy. Their weird s** kinks are so trash

9. Auditioning in a club...??

10. Kim Soohyun was at his peak at that time, so it makes you wonder why he would act in a movie like Real? You can clearly see his dark side here. They're no different from Burning Sun. Wow I pity the women ㅠ
