JYP Project Noir 2026: can international males born in 2002–2012 apply?

Yes. JYP’s Project Noir band audition lists male applicants born from 2002 through 2012, with no nationality restriction. The four fields are vocal, electric guitar, bass and drums. These are Project Noir’s conditions; JYP’s ordinary online audition has a separate notice and cannot replace them.

Check the deadline before you plan submission. On the fully loaded official notice checked for this guide, the header ends on November 16, while the detailed announcement ends on November 15. The page does not explain the difference or provide a verified closing timezone. Plan well before November 15 while seeking current confirmation; that is a conservative planning suggestion, not a settled official cutoff.

Project Noir application check: source-based preparation summary Original Andxo checklist based on the official instructions checked October 9, 2026; not an agency form or applicant photograph.

Use your birth year to check eligibility

Check the year in your date of birth, not an approximate age from a social profile. A male applicant born in 2002 or 2012 is within the stated range; 2001 or 2013 is outside it. These examples explain the listed boundaries and do not create exceptions.

The lack of a nationality restriction answers the nationality question. It does not establish visa eligibility, travel funding, remote participation at every later stage or a trainee contract. Read any additional declarations in the current form before applying, and use later project-specific guidance if you advance.

Choose a band field and prepare its material

The notice lists vocal, electric guitar, bass and drums. Select the appropriate field and read its current video-upload instructions. A dance submission prepared for a general idol audition should not be assumed to meet this band project’s requirements.

For your own preparation, record a short test and listen to the saved sound. A performance that is audible in the room can become difficult to hear in a phone recording. If you play an instrument, check that its part is distinguishable in the exported file. Keep the performance in frame where practical.

Those are recording suggestions, not official requirements for a microphone, studio, song choice or repertoire. The checked notice does not provide a universal video length or file-size limit. Use the current form before your final export and keep your originals available for any format change.

Why the two closing dates need confirmation

The header and the detailed body are parts of the same official notice. There is no explanation confirming that the later date is an extension, grace period or timezone conversion. Do not assume that November 16 gives you an extra day.

Allow time to prepare your files and check the Apply route before November 15. If the official page later clarifies the closing date, use that clarification. Applicants outside Korea should also avoid converting an assumed midnight into local time: a calendar date without a stated time and timezone cannot establish an exact international cutoff.

The deadline shown during initial page loading may differ from the fully loaded notice. Recheck the complete announcement rather than relying on a preview, cached card or a countdown copied elsewhere.

Pre-application checklist

  1. Open the exact Project Noir notice, rather than only JYP’s general audition homepage.
  2. Check male eligibility and a birth year from 2002 to 2012.
  3. Select vocal, electric guitar, bass or drums and read that field’s upload instructions.
  4. Check the final video’s sound, playback and requested format.
  5. Compare the fully loaded header and body dates; confirm the cutoff through current official guidance.
  6. Keep any real submission confirmation and the instructions you relied on.

FAQ

Can a non-Korean male applicant apply?

The Project Noir notice lists no nationality restriction. Your birth year must still fit the 2002–2012 range, and the live form may contain additional conditions.

Does JYP’s general online audition have the same birth-year rule?

Do not transfer this rule to another audition. Project Noir is a named band project with a separate notice and category list. Compare official audition portals using each specific route.

Is November 16 a confirmed extra application day?

No. The detailed body ends on November 15 and the header on November 16. The source does not resolve the discrepancy, so do not rely on the later label.

Is dance one of the Project Noir fields?

The four listed fields are vocal, electric guitar, bass and drums. A general JYP dance route does not establish a dance option in this project.

Does a matching birth year guarantee selection or training?

It establishes only that part of the stated eligibility. The notice does not guarantee acceptance, a training contract or debut.

Official source and next step

Read JYP’s official Project Noir notice and its current Apply instructions. Checked October 9, 2026, Korea time, after the announcement finished loading. The dates remain unresolved in this source-based guide; the graphic is an original checklist, not agency artwork.
