I kind of glad about this news at least they have a TV program. but hope it's air in free TV for more people gonna know them more.

but that's mean 1st gen are going to reveal in next 2 month. wow that was fast.

 

It look like even our BNK aren't dubut yet but their are another idol group yet to be birth in our country. Recently the Yoshimoto company announced that they will open audition in thailand as well. The most interesting is Yoshimoto is the company that connect with the NMB48 girl and recently they aim to many country in south-east asia example they already make an audition in indonesia. It look like this is the first challenge for BNK48.



Even BNK is a big name becuase it one of '48' group but Yoshimoto has many advantages from the experience that they work in Thailand and the backup power from the main company.

I am really excited but feel fear for the girl. It look like their time has to be a little bit more challenge.

 

Goood neewss
Age for audition was extended to 12-22 years old.

 

OMG! YAS! I am in LOVE! Can't wait to see the older crowd too~

 

BNK48 1st Generation Audition Application will finish in 24 more hours.

 

I think that the first 3 years will be very crucial For all of 48g ..

But it's depends of operation team and staffs how to market this lovely girls to the people and fans and strategies to grow and gain more..

Isn't that... low?

 

Yup.. Lower than the other 48g..

 

I don't think that's low. Because J idol is kind of new to Thai people. and another reason is the condition of applicant is make parent don't let their child to audition because worries about their education.

I think it's good number.

 

This amount is really reasonable. Sorry to tell you the truth our thai show&music business now is really depressing. The girls have to risk their future to be an idol. With that risk themselves and family have to make the hard decision. I can tell you that me too can't image what await BNK in the future. I don't even know that 48G marketing can be effective in Thai or not so what we can do now is wait and see. I will continue to update the news for you guys to know what happen here.

 

I have to agree. You have to sacrifice so much time to be in showbiz. It's scary. I'm applying for a different audition and being out of high school I need a job however can't get one because of the audition. I imagine it's worse for school because for the 3+ months of training your education is put on the back burner. The 1000+ applicants I feel is a healthy number.

My personal opinion is that girls should be able to balance there life and if they can't do that then they shouldn't apply because their just adding more issues to the table.

 

And in thailand they really really care about education with entrance exs everywhere

sadly I can't read Thai alphabet ;__; in the document, there are names of successful applicants. From the list, I saw a few foreigners though, some of them Indonesian.

 

When they announced the final result. I will do my best to translate their name to you. Lol when our name translate to english it troublesome sometime really long and hard to read. Just like you said some of them are foreigners. I saw some Japanese name too.

 

The simplest Thai name I ever heard is Blackpink's Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban. The others, just as hard and long as snakes.

 

As for people can't view the list of passed applicants for 2nd round .. I snapshot some of PFA file list into my iPhone ..
Here it is...

 

Arina Andrievskaya

Russian ?

 

Yup... The rumors said to be she's residing at Bangkok..
I'm just waiting some info's on that applicant @ the net
