Of all the popular idols in the K-pop industry, many have been recruited to their agencies through street casting.
And while street casting has helped discovered many talented singers, netizens have been praising one SM Entertainment girl group Red Velvet for being the only group in the agency to have members who’ve all joined the company solely through auditions.
