It all started when I auditioned for Big Hit Entertainment at a talent casting in Los Angeles. I was 17 years old, senior in high school, and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I had no huge goals and dreams like everyone else did. I saw the flyer taped onto the back door of my favorite little coffee shop downtown. It was that upcoming weekend and I had no plans, so I thought I might as well go and try out. I had no prior knowledge of Big Hit, and the only thing written on the flyer was, 'Looking for singers, dancers, actors, ages 10-19.' I didn't tell anyone about auditioning, not even my family. So when they told me they wanted to fly me to South Korea for a second audition I didn't know what to do. Obviously I had to do a little background information on Big Hit. Once I realized what was happening I thought, this could be an amazing opportunity, I had to do it. So I did it. I left everything behind, used the money I had saved up for college and bought a plane ticket. Once in Korea, I started to question on if I had made the right decision, or was I too naïve. I wasn't sure what exactly I was expecting to happen at this audition, but if I didn't get accepted into the trainee program, what was the worst that could happen? After my second audition I was brought into another room. There were two man standing in front of me. The older looking man wearing a suit began speaking in Korean, and I froze, not having a clue what he was saying. Thankfully the man to the left of him began to translate.
"Maya, before accepting you into our trainee program, we want to make sure this is what you want," the second man stopped, looked over at me and then back at the first man. When I didn't answer, they continued. I waited for the translator.
"This is our first time accepting someone with no Asian descent, but we believe you have a lot of potential, and would love to have you train with us."
"Yes," I said without hesitation. "I would love to. Thank you so much." But I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
