Audition was held in five Indonesian cities (Jakarta, Medan, Makassar, Surabaya, Semarang) for about a month and half and over 3 thousand people in each city (over 10 thousand people in 5 cities) applied for the audition.


Popular Korean songwriter Kim Do Hoon and other jury members selected the winners from the final audition and they received tickets to Korea with the opportunity to be trained as K-pop stars for six months by the Rainbow Bridge Agency.
Eleven challengers got tickets through the final audition and they will arrive in Korea on March 16. They will be trained in Rainbow Bridge Agency as K-pop stars and they will experience a variety of Korean cultures visiting sightseeing spots while they stay in Korea.
The show, which is drawing a lot of attention from the public and the media, airs every Sunday at 8 o’clock at night (local time). Since K-pop is currently a hot topic for the youth of the world, This will be a great help for K-pop culture to land in Indonesia and other nearby countries.
CNW1 and Rainbow Bridge Agency will continue to create and promote K-pop culture to communicate with the world through the show. Global star project show Galaxy Superstar, with a firm star training system, will be unveiled during a press conference on March 16.
