Cube Entertainmentwill be holding their first nationwide audition tour in 2012!
Starting on January 5th, the company will kick off their eight-city ‘2012 Cube Star Audition in Korea‘ in Junju, followed by Kwangju, Daegu, Busan, Daejun, Wonju, Seoul, and Jeju.
Contestants can apply in the areas of dance, singing, acting, modeling, and MCing. There are no restrictions based on nationality, gender, or age – anyone can participate.
4minute and B2ST showed their support to the auditioners by stating, “We’re looking for the next stars to follow in 4minute, B2ST’s, and G.NA‘s footsteps to becoming the future of Cube Entertainment. We hope that you achieve all that you have dreamed. We’ll always be supporting our future stars.”
4minute’s HyunA and B2ST’s Jang Hyunseung (a.k.a. ‘Trouble Maker‘) have been heating things up with their hot debut and Mnet Japan through their program “Exciting Cube” recently gave fans a behind the scenes look at the making of of their music video.
Opposite from how they portray themselves with a lot of sexual tension in the music video, you can see that they’re actually much more adorable behind the scenes.
As hinted in their earlier teasers, “Trouble Maker” is a MV that plays on the cat-and-mouse theme. Set in a lavish hotel room, the video is rife with gunplay and sexual tension — a combination that’s sure to make them a huge hit from the get-go.
Check out their MV below!
