“After a 20 min long walk from the Cheongdam subway station (thank god it’s still spring, ie. cool at night), I reached at almost 840, got my identity and SMS verified, then joined the line. As we entered SM Entertainment’s office at 9pm sharp, they told us to switch off our phones, put it into our bags – then they told us to leave our bags outside. (T_T there goes my hope of recording any audio, so that I can listen and translate it next time. Looks like we can only look for translations of korean fanaccounts then – I noticed that a couple of chinese and japanese fans got in also) They allowed the substitutes to come in too though. The room was really a tight fit! It’s a small dance studio in the basement, with the huge SM global audition poster covering the entire left side, and EXO-K posters on the right (over the mirror). After about 15 mins, we heard some voices from behind the stage in front of us, and EXO-K soon appeared, all dressed in a casual manner, except Chanyeol who had a blazer on.”………
