Musinsa is holding an audition in collaboration with BigHit Music starting Monday to recruit a member for an upcoming boy band, the local fashion e-commerce site said Thursday.
 
Titled the “Snap Casting” event, the audition will take place through Musinsa Snap, a feature in the Musinsa app in which users can post pictures of their outfits and styling tips.
 
The audition aims to find a “stylish” person who has a good sense of fashion with a perceived potential for stardom.
 
Males between the ages 14 and 18 can participate by uploading a picture on Musinsa Snap that shows their entire body in an outfit of their choice along with the following hashtags in Korean: #SnapCasting and #BigHitMusic.
 
The winner will receive the opportunity to become a member of BigHit Music’s next boy band, as they will be given the chance to sign with the agency and become a trainee. Currently the agency is managing boy bands BTS and Tomorrow X Together.
 
The audition also offers prizes to the runner-ups. The top three people, regardless of gender or age, with the most likes and comments on Musinsa Snap will be able to take profile pictures at the HYBE headquarters in Yongsan District, central Seoul, and receive a 500,000 won ($390) Musinsa voucher.
 
More information will be posted on the Musinsa app starting from March 27 at 11 a.m.
 
The audition lasts through April 9.
