Group Girls' Generation and actress Yoona revealed the behind-the-scenes of her audition for SM Entertainment.

On the 4th, Yoona and Ahn Bo-hyun appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yeob’.

On that day, when asked, "Have you ever auditioned for something?" Yoona replied, "There was a public audition where you just lined up in front of the company and went in one by one to sing, dance, and greet before leaving."

Yoona smiled as she said, "When you bought an SM artist's album, there was an advertisement inside. There was always a notice for the audition on Saturdays included. A friend from my class saw it and asked, 'Is anyone going to audition?' so we went together and I passed on the first try."

She continued, "A few months later, I got a call. They said, 'There was a big event, so the confirmation was delayed.' Later, I did a camera test and became a trainee."
