Many singers and idols from the three companies also help out in the preliminary audition process. Potential contestants may also audition through SBS Radio programs and bypass the preliminary auditions altogether. Preliminary auditions are held not only in South Korea, but around the world in Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia as well.
