FNC Entertainment, the K-pop agency behind groups N.Flying, SF9, Cherry Bullet and P1Harmony, will hold auditions in Thailand and Singapore, it said Monday.

"2022 FNC Pick Up Stage: Thailand & Singapore" will take place on Aug. 6 in Bangkok and Aug. 14 in Singapore. Applications for the Bangkok audition will be accepted from July 9 to 15. Applicants will be individually notified of their time slots to audition.

The Singapore audition will only accept walk-ins.

Anyone born between 2003 and 2010 can apply and will face three stages: the first local audition, the second audition in front of company executives, and the final audition. The second and final stages will either take place in Korea or be held via video call on Zoom.

Those who reach the final stage will be given opportunities to become trainees under FNC Entertainment and receive professional K-pop training.
