Singer Lee Hyori has recently become the judge and the core committee audition show ‘Mnet SuperStar K’ taking place on 26th and 27th June in CoEx together with other veteran singers like Lee Seung Chul, In SoonI, Yoon Jong Shin etc.

There were many instances when Lee Hyori would pose challenging and embarrassing, to some extent, questions to the people auditioning. For example there was a 18-year-old innocent looking student and she had ordered, “Try dancing without any music companion”.

She explained, “Being kind will be one big obstacle to you as a singer. You will need to be able to build up the charisma on stage and your strong will to win. Even if you sing well, if you are not ambitious, you will not seemed like you have capabilities on stage. You may even need to be a little imprudent. Try to scold everyone from your heart for one month.” giving a little advice on that.

She continued, “To start with, trying to curse (scold) these judges sitting right in front of you. Tell yourself ‘I’m the best’.” She had taught her know-how to be able to be one of Korea’s sexy top stars to the participants at the audition without holding back.

Not only so, she revealed at the judging, “I don’t like the pretty boy style”. She revealed, “Recently even though there is much popularity with this pretty boy thing, I prefer boys with individuality and more boyish.” She would say things like “That’s my style” to male participants who are further away even with the pretty boys standing nearer to her.

Lee Seung Chul who is also one of the judges, “I am really surprised by the type of guys that Lee Hyori likes.”

‘SuperStar K’ will start airing on Mnet from 24th July.

i think hyori is right...there are people who are amazing singers but they are innocent and shy or something and you have have something that will catch their attention...that is really good advice...hyori is right about pretty boys that's too common and everyone seems to be doing that..they should have something different that way they can stand out..

Sooo true. I wish she was a Supergirls judge.

so right. if you ever audition for something you have to be damn confident that you're the best.

aww Lee Hyori is looking out for to-be singers...she gives good advice

She is so right and true to the bottom. You have to be vicious if you want to success and the confidence: you are the best.

Wow, yelling at someone for one month...I can't think of anyone that would do that for practice (besides some sort of auditioning gig).

The way she carries her attitude is right. I think there was a former Big Bang member (or some other boy band) who was kicked out because of his stage fright, his shyness, or something similar to that. So being totally confident can be your one way ticket to serious fame. But if I yelled at everyone for a month, they'd probably all disown me LOL jk.

it sounds really harsh, but hyori knows what she's talking about. after all, she made it following that advice didn't she? =)

wow..that's harsh---but GREAT advice!! VERY TRUE! really, it's true wat Hyori unnie says..if you're too nice you'll get left behind or looked over. i wonder wat that girl's expression was..just thinking about i wonder wat i would've done. it's a true test when someone says 'just dance'--you've gotta give it your all! i really wanna see this!

i think a lot of people were probably thinking Hyori unnie would be like paula abdul. i'm glad she isn't---well that's wat it seems like here. you can't sugar coat it for people. give them the harsh reality that it's a tough world in entertainment!

Such true and good advice! Lee Hyori makes a perfect judge! not to harsh but true in her words

Yep, she tells it like it is! I personally think the korean entertainment industry is one of the hardest to get into because these idol groups train at such young age and there is so much competition that you gotta be strong or you're gonna get overlooked!
Guess Hyori is going to be the Simon of this korean show! I'm pretty sure she won't be as mean though! U-GO-GIRL!

Haha wow being a singer sounds so tough. I don't think i can have that much confidence and to be so mean to everone for a month. Wow i am speechless.

Hyori has been in the business for over a decade and is stilll at the top so she definitely knows what she's talking about! I'm pretty sure it's a lot tougher than we think it actually is!
Simon is mean, but Hyori is just tough.
