Singapore Is Opening The First K-Pop International High School So You Can Train To Become An Idol

K-Pop International High School In Singapore

K-pop idol hopefuls and fans who dream of attending the same school that famous idols like BTS’s Jungkook and IVE’s Jang Wonyoung did, are in luck. The School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA) is collaborating with Singapore Raffles Music College (SMRC) to launch the first-ever K-pop international high school in our Little Red Dot. 

Read on to find out more information about this exciting educational venture in Singapore. 

The international high school

True blue K-pop fans will recognise SOPA, the alma mater of numerous K-pop idols such as EXO’s Sehun and Kai, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, and NCT’s Mark. The prestigious high school is also known for its iconic yellow blazer.

Solidifying its reputation as an exemplary educational institution in Korea, SOPA has recently partnered with SMRC by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a K-pop international high school, SOPA-SMRC.

They invite students from across the world to immerse themselves in a K-pop-centric educational programme. Yup, that means even you could enrol in the school.

Classes will be conducted entirely in English by faculty members of SOPA, offering a variety of performing arts programmes such as singing, dancing, and acting. Given that the current curriculum at SOPA incorporates subjects like science, mathematics, and languages alongside these specialised classes, there is a possibility that SOPA-SMRC will adopt a similar system.

At the time of writing, SMRC has yet to reveal enrolment details and the estimated launch date of the K-pop international high school. 

 

SOPA-SMRC Is The First K-Pop International High School In Singapore

The success of the K-Pop industry has inspired countless individuals to pursue their dream of becoming a K-pop idol, and the establishment of SOPA-SMRC will serve as a stepping stone for those who aspire to enter Korean showbiz. Perhaps with this new K-pop international high school, we might just uncover budding talents that bring pride to our nation.
