Did You Know That You Can Train Like Your Fave K-Pop Idol In Singapore?

What’s really wild is that this isn’t just a local operation. The curriculum is delivered by an all-Korean training team, made up of industry veterans from SM Universe’s main campus in Seoul. The goal is to create a tangible pathway for students, with top performers in the program getting the chance to audition with actual South Korean entertainment agencies. Imagine: you could go from practising in Singapore to performing on a stage in Seoul! While the academy doesn’t list individual trainers by name with their specialisations in a public profile, it’s clear they are bringing the real deal to Singapore. The website mentions mentors with impressive backgrounds, including an A&R for Girls’ Generation and NCT, and dance and vocal managers with experience teaching SM Entertainment trainees.

It’s a huge deal for anyone in the region with big K-pop dreams. This is a chance to get world-class training without having to pack your bags and move to Korea overnight. Based on information available about SM Universe’s Singapore curriculum, the 21-week intensive training course is designed to mirror the rigorous training that K-pop idols undergo, but is structured to fit an after-school schedule. 

The curriculum covers a comprehensive range of skills essential for aspiring performers, including: vocal training, dance, music production, stage presence, and audition preparation. In addition to the main program, the academy offers shorter, more focused courses for those who want to get a taste of the training or focus on a specific skill, such as a five-day “K-pop Basics” or “K-pop Advanced” program.
