JYP YG, and SM Entertainment questions/ audition and general?

Bio: I’m a blonde haired blue eyed girl standing at 5’6″. I am also 18 going on 19 in July (:D Yay! <3) I plan on auditioning for the 2010 auditions for JYP, SM, and YG. To get prepared, I plan on hitting the gym 5/7 days a week, go on a healthy diet, and will attend Korean language classes starting June 18th all the way until I complete all courses available. I am also going to attend various vocal coaching classes and start dance lessons later on this year. I also hope to make my body similar to KARA’s Nicole. (She looks absolutely fantastic :] ) Since I have this planned out, I have some questions to even have a better understanding of what I need to do to make sure I am at my best.

1) I understand they say any nationality is accepted, but is it really unbiased? Since I am an american girl from California, I just want to make sure, because I’ll do whatever I can to overcompensate for that.
2) Are there any recommended exercises I should work on specifically to accomplish my goal?
3) When are auditions usually held? I understand we do first submissions via sending in a recording. Do they want both our vocal abilities as well as our dance in it? I want to make sure I can do a fantastic video.
4) For recording the audition, what electronic is best for sound and visual?
5) Are auditions held just in NYC (like for JYP) or other places like LA or Korea?
6) If they like your mail submission, how do you know if you are accepted, and what happens next?
7) If you manage to get through, and you go to the auditioning place, what do you recommend to wear?
8) At the interview what happens? Is it just questions or do you perform for them?
9) Any specific music they look for in auditions?
10) Where are auditions held for JYP, SM, YG?
11) I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this, but we pay for our own plane tickets and lodgings correct?
12) If you pass the second audition, what happens from then?
13) For training, do you move over to Korea and train? I know you can be trained for 2-6 years, but with everything I’m preparing for beforehand, it should be in the early range?
14) What is taught during training?
15) For the first step, which is submission, are there specific websites? Or via e-mail? When should I submit? (for example August, September?)
16) With the first submission, should I include a professional picture? And if possible, a CD containing my vocals?
17) Is it required to play an instrument? A plus? (ie. the piano? :] )
18) Though I’m pretty sure they only ones able to answer these questions would have to have experience with these companies, for those who do, what is it like? I’m very curious and I feel so much better when I know beforehand what to expect.
19) Is there any advice you could give me?
20) Including everything in my bio, does it sound like I’d have a sound chance?
21) Oh, just remembered! I’m letting my natural hair grow out in order to have natural, healthy hair. Should I dye it? If so, is blonde acceptable, or is it a negative point for these guys?
22) Any specific types of dances I should learn?
23)For each individual company, what is it each are looking for?
24) What are the judges like? For example, I know JYP for JYP, but would the other judges be other workers from that company or some of his other talent like 2PM of Wonder Girls?
25) For music, does it have to be american, or can it be korean as well? I was thinking about it, and it wouldn’t be wise to use music from other companies right? For example, BEAST’s “Shock” for a JYP audition.

If there is anything else you can help me with, that would be absolutely wonderful! Thank you all so much for answering my questions! You have no idea what kind of help this is!

What is this Asian drama?

I was visiting a friend in NYC (Brooklyn) and couldn’t sleep one night. I turn on the television and all that is on are telenovellas, qubo, and this asian drama. It had subtitles so i started watching it and I really was getting into it.

First off, sadly, I couldn’t tell what language it was in. Someone made a joke about translating Korean to English, so Korean is my best guess.

Its about a girl who works at a television station. She has a team of friends helping her and her career, but that’s not the main story. She is in her 30s and starts dating a guy in his early 20s. He is a musician and dyes his hair a mousey blond color. He has a mother who tells both of them that they can’t see each other any more. The mother is unhappily married and there is another guy vying for her attention (I’m pretty sure he’s younger too). The main girl (the one that works at the tv station) has 2 friends, one of which is getting married. Her fiancé’s father doesn’t approve, so they went through this elaborate scheme to get his to realize that his son could do a lot worse.

Point is, I want to watch the rest of this show and sadly I can’t find it anywhere no matter how many different combinations of searches I try. I hope someone knows the title!

Is it OK for a man to get serviced at a spa?

I went away on business. I was in a NYC suburb. I went to a “men’s spa”. It wasn’t a whore house. I had a steam shower and yes a scantily dressed Korea girl washed me, ALL of me and I liked it, but nothing happened.
I got a massage, facial, haircut, shave and manicure. All done by sexy, young Korean women. They did a heck of a job, but nothing happened.
While all this was going on, the washed my shirt, slacks and underwear. They pressed my sport coat.
The shirt had ring around the collar. Not anymore. My wife wants to know how come I came home “looking good, smelling good, and cleaner than when I left”
That’s a good thing isn’t it? Just because it was done by sexy young Korean women doesn’t make it bad? Seriously, nothing happened. You don’t believe me, how can I expect my wife to believe me?
Colonel… I agree. I’ve been playing dumb and it wasn’t brought up again, but I know it is only a matter of time. I live out in the sticks. If I could find a place here, that wasn’t a whore house, I’d go again. If I told her it was a man, she might think something else. I’m stuck. I don’t want to reveal any details that are unnecssary…
Kip and others: The sexy part is part of the fun.. it is harmless. The person who cut my hair and shaved me displayed a license. The place was legit. It was designed to have a high level of appeal to indulge a man’s fantasy, but nothing happens here, at least to me!
