Do You Need a Dancing Video in Your JYP Online Audition?

When applying for JYP Entertainment's online audition, you might wonder whether you need to include a dancing video. This article will guide you through the audition process, and provide tips on how to make the most of your submission, whether you're more comfortable with singing, rapping, or dancing.

Categories and Preparation

You can choose the category that best suits your strengths. For the second round of the audition, you'll likely be asked to perform all three: dance, rap, and sing. If you're not a dancer, it's okay, as long as you're confident and practiced in your chosen category. JYP will ultimately assess your potential regardless of your skills in all areas.

Should You Submit a Singing or Rapping Video?

While you can choose to submit a video showcasing your singing or rapping skills, it's important to consider the emphasis JYP places on dancing. If you don't feel confident in your dance skills or haven't uploaded a dance video, it's recommended to practice more before auditioning. However, if you want to submit a singing or rapping video, here are some tips:

Tips for Submitting Your Video

Expressive Face: Maintain a natural and expressive face; avoid looking mechanical or expressionless. Expressions help convey the emotions in the song and make your performance more engaging. Single Focus: Ensure that the background is free of distractions. Singing alone (acapella) can help your performance stand out and avoid any unwanted background noises. Suitable Song: Make sure the song aligns well with your voice and preserves the emotion of the lyrics. Avoid songs that may not suit your vocal range or style.
