It looks like their private auditions and even usual auditions barely attracted anyone

And even though they’re announcing that they’re only recruiting people who are talented

It looks like nobody even writes any “accounts” of their auditions with SM anymore.. 

And this year, it feels like nobody auditioned..

For real it feels like it’s becoming so rare to find people who can sing, dance and play an instrument

1. I know that SM usually only selects a small amount of people, but looks like they really picked nobody this time 

2. Is it possible that they all went for Hybe instead?

3. Of course nobody will go for SM anymore, if you look at what their trainees are saying, and just looking at the comments above, it’s obvious that they’re all flocking to one specific place

4. Still seeing how aespa and RIIZE succeeded, I can’t understand why people wouldn’t want to try with SM? Even though they might not be #1 anymore, they’re at least #2

5. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ People really don’t know anything… You really think people have stopped trying for SM?

6. It’s always been hard to pass any Saturday auditions there

7. They said that there are around 100 people in their basements 

8. It’s freaking hard to pass their Saturday auditions..

9. But I’ve barely seen anyone debut from their Saturday auditions though..

10. There aren’t any talented kids anymore so they’re not picking anyone, what “people don’t go to SM anymore” …
