WAKEONE audition introduction: can foreigners use their native language?

Yes. WAKEONE’s English audition page asks foreign applicants to include a self-introduction in their native language. Prepare it as part of the required application package: the application form, a brief introduction video and a talent video. You can choose up to two fields from singing, dancing, rapping and acting; two is the maximum, not a requirement to perform two skills.

Confirm where to submit before sending your files. The main instructions display audition@wake-one.com, while the FAQ displays wakeone_audition@wake-one.com. Both appear on the official page, but the checked text does not explain their relationship. Do not send duplicate private material to both to test which works. Recheck the current official WAKEONE audition page for clarification.

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

Record the introduction as its own preparation task

The source describes Korean self-introduction and specifically asks foreign nationals to include their native language. It does not establish that foreigners must pass a Korean-language examination or memorize a Korean script. Follow the current form for any information it asks you to include.

Use a front/head shot in landscape orientation. Position the camera so your face stays visible and make a short test to check sound. A written outline can help you introduce yourself clearly; it is preparation advice, not an official mandatory script. Do not add private information that the application does not need.

The talent-video limit is not a verified introduction-video limit. The FAQ calls the introduction brief but does not publish an exact duration in the checked text. Read any newer form instructions instead of applying the performance limit automatically.

Prepare talent material for one field or two

You can choose one field, or up to two. If you choose singing and dancing, list the material needed for each before recording. The main instructions specify full-body landscape performance material under 2 minutes 30 seconds by category. The FAQ says a video within 2 minutes 30 seconds; exporting below that boundary is a practical way to satisfy the stricter main wording.

The page’s general instructions do not settle every packaging detail. Check whether the current route asks for separate files or a particular arrangement. Do not assume one mixed clip meets both category fields.

Play each saved export from beginning to end. Check whether movement stays visible, sound remains audible, the orientation stays horizontal and the file opens correctly. Keep originals until the final format and delivery conditions are clear.

Resolve the destination discrepancy before submission

The two official email labels are a real uncertainty. This guide does not establish that both addresses are active or interchangeable. The FAQ also mentions the agency’s audition Instagram route, but that does not explain which email should receive your package.

Use current official contact guidance to resolve the route. While that is pending, you can complete the form and recordings. Avoid sending personal details through an unofficial fan account or an address copied from an unrelated guide.

Final preparation checklist

  1. Read current eligibility, including qualification to travel abroad.
  2. Complete the current application form and required contact details.
  3. Record the native-language introduction using front/head-shot landscape framing.
  4. Prepare one or up to two talent fields with the stated framing and duration.
  5. Replay all files and check the current packaging requirements.
  6. Confirm the submission destination before sending the package.

FAQ

Must a foreign applicant introduce themselves in Korean only?

The English instructions ask foreigners to include a native-language introduction. Check the current form’s specific fields, but do not replace that instruction with an invented Korean-only rule.

Must I choose two fields?

No. “Up to two” permits one field. Choosing a second field solely to fill the maximum is not a stated requirement.

Does the talent limit also apply to the introduction?

The main page separates those materials. An exact introduction duration was not verified; it should not be inferred from the performance limit.

Will everyone receive a reply in three weeks?

The FAQ gives a general one-to-three-week estimate and says only successful applicants are contacted. It does not promise every applicant an answer by a fixed day.

Can I change my material after applying?

The FAQ distinguishes already submitted files from updated materials and ordinary reapplications. See WAKEONE’s update and reapplication guide before preparing another package.

Official source and next step

Read WAKEONE’s official English audition page and FAQ, including its current application form. Checked October 9, 2026, Korea time; the page is undated. This is source-based preparation guidance, not a personal audition account. The original graphic summarizes material preparation and does not verify the unresolved delivery route.
