The most informative video on the Korean Ent. biz. Much appreciated. As someone in the entertainment biz for over 40 years in front and behind the camera and now back on camera. I want to experience South Korea. Many thanks.
This is has been great to understand and have more context around! I'm teaching here at the moment but I'm a muso/songwriter in my downtime and have often pondered how to navigate the job hunt or just anything around this. Thank you :)
It's nice how straightforward and honest you are! It seems that many have the dream of moving to Korea and becoming entertainers/models/etc just like that, so it's great to have this kind of honest material online. But this also made me curious, do random people contact you often and ask for you to recommend them despite them being strangers? Edit. Goshiwon can be as low as like 280,000w, that's at least what I paid for mine. But it was really small and kinda moldy too lol
I hv the same thought like u...i wish I could talk with u more
I'M SOOOOO THANKFUL I found you here!!! VERY detailed info ( you’re the only one 💕 ). My path is clearer after watching your videos!!!
Loved listening to this omg the amount of work and stress sis you must of gone through but hoping everything is working out well 💖
Don’t forget that if you rent an apartment here in korea you have to pay the key money up front too which can be 5-10 million won if you’re living in seoul
Again another great video! I am coming as a language student next month but this was still an interesting watch! Looking forward to more :)
Thank you for sharing this with us Chen 💕 it's really informative. Idk how you're able to manage that but that's a long process for visa process...😅 All the best in your career Chen 💕
Thank you for this great informative video. You are so helpful for many young boys and girls to make their dreams and wishes come true. Thanks again!
Hello, just wanna say that any agencies should NOT ask you for any money if they sponsors you. The models doesn’t pay anything for the agency ! all the process is from the agency.
Sometimes they can ask you about 2500 or 3000 for visa then it’s totally illegal.
So girls if agency ask you to pay money like that just find another agency, it’s already a bad starting. 😊
Thank you ,And what about living place?
This is quite helpful. I've researched these for a few years now. But My sister doesn't really know much so it's pretty helpful for her. And for those who are counting the money. I'd suggest you guys save up at least 10k dollars because of the rising prices of everything.
Pls don't fake your smile , btw thanks for the information , you are really good person
I love how direct your approach is by the way, followed u on IG
Thank you! I’m all about telling it like it is so I appreciate it 🙏
Thank you so much!
This is really really helpful!^^
This is super helpful and I can see folks really using this to their benefit. Also your hair has gotten so long
Ty for your video, really helpful for my long term project ,keep going 😊
Awesome video Chen thanks for making these. I was curious about something and I wanted to ask you this, the part where you talked about the agencies not really doing anything to help you find work. Is that mainly foreign entertainers who go through that or is it the same dilemma for the Korean entertainers as well?
That was a very helpful video!
Thank you for such a informative video 👏👏👏
So helpful! Thankyou so so much! Do you have any advice on finding agencies? Like what do you search on social media’s? Or what do you search in google?
Hey if you find something can you tell me? I'll search as well and i can help you as well
Ya same here i also wanna know I saw so many videos saying find the agency but thats the thing lie how
If you find any do reccommend to us also
“Outstanding takeaways….I worked for a few years in the community, I do not at all speak Korean. On average, I garnered attention to partner with a female roommate candidate (native) about twice in a calendar year….Recently, I’ve been out of touch, with her”
Wow thank you! Do you think this also cover artists? Or are there any options for artists? I work mainly with musicians drawing album covers and eager to try Korea ❤
Great video Chen very insightful! Do you by chance know if someone is able to work in entertainment with an F-4 visa (overseas korean) or if you know of anyone who has? Thanks!
What if you want a mother agent to get you into shows for fashion week. We don't need this do we?
I need the answer to this too 😭
😎Good video. What if I get a permanent residency F2 or F5? Could I find work and get paid without an agency?
Can you get the E6 visa and do content in Korea but also work your remote job from your home country?
Going to korea as a tourist is not a problem anymore as long as you have the money for the 7 day quarantine stay in the hotel
Thank you 🙏😊
Thank you for making this video. Quick question, what kind of jobs are you doing right now to sustain yourself and is a ballpark of what you earn and spend something you would be open to sharing? Once again, a very informative video, that I'm sure will help others a lot :)
Do you know how long the e6 visa lasts. And how many months a year do you have to spend in the country to keep it?
First of all thank you so much for this information. i have a question that, you said E-6 visa is for arts related so if person is related to sports then can he apply for E-6 visa ??, like after finding sports agency or something like that ??
Mam i m from India plz guide me where to apply how to apply to become an model
As this falls under the cultural aspects would a painter need an E6 or any other Visa which falls under cultural aspects too
Is it possible to become actor as an Indian
It seems like most of this is for legitimate consistently stable jobs like modeling, singing, acting, etc. so I am interested to know what differs for someone who is just a social media influencer. Do you need an agency to sponsor your UA-cam channel? Since Influencers make all of their money from social media or promotions for companies, it's not as much searching for jobs and more like talking with brands to advertise for them. I'm just curious how it would differ for specifically only online influencer career paths.
what if I save up enough for those 6 months and manage to start getting income, but I earn less than the monthly budget, wouldn't I be losing money then? If that were the case what would I do?
Sis if u could tell me which company will b good for acting in korea
during those few months after I get my visa and before I start getting income, am I allowed to do other jobs that are also part of the entertainment industry, such as modeling or make youtube videos?
Hi! i know this is really late but i would appreciate it so much if you could reply, im from the UK and want to audition to be a trainee because i love the feeling of being on stage and i’ve performed from a young age. If i were to be accepted at my audition would i be able to get the E6 visa and how often would i have to renew it? Thank you!
If you get accepted by an idol agency, they would take care of your visa process. An E6 visa needs to be renewed every year but your agency again would be able to take care of it
can a forgeiner get a lead role
Heyy I really want to come to seoul for being a model its been three years since i am trying i even aplied to JYP idk what is happening i am wishing u can help me please
Don't know if anyone can help. Does this visa cover areas within the media industry (radio, tv and or film) I'm trained within radio production and want to move out to south Korea (had some of the best experiences in my life there) If it doesn't could anyone recommend which route to go down. Thank you in advance
I wanted to come to Korea but the expenses and process of paper work is expensive I wanted to join entertainment being black woman s also another problem
Yes it is and if money is a concern, the entertainment industry here is not the solution unfortunately 😕
Please can u tell me can i switch my tourist visa in to E6 Visa. I'm planning to do an admission in some Kpop school if i can done it can u recommend me which visa would be the best for that,bcoz i want to work while studying(Dance+vocal+language)
This was so helpful! But I have a question, dont know if you can help me :)
I also read on the official website that this visa is for people who wants to work in the music, art, literature, sports industry and there's no University degree needed. I'm curious about what kind of "literature" jobs i could do with this Visa, do you have any idea?
Not sure but since this is an entertainer visa, technically writers could fall into this category but Ive never heard of any writers having an e6 visa personally
can work as a student who have d2 visa?
I’ve never been on a student visa so apologies as I’m probably not the best person to ask. I would contact Korean immigration directly to inquire
is Fashion styling considered
entertainment? also where do you find the casting calls and stuff?
No, that would have to be tied to a specific company under an E7
@@ChenFromBklyn You can also switch from a tourist visa to an E6 right?
I'm minor is minor can't get this visa???
Would I be able to do a non entertainment part time if I make enough to cover my E-6 visa
No, you are only legally allowed to hold entertainer related jobs under this visa
i have a question! i want to work in korea ent biz similar to youtube whitneybae, she's a black girl like me and did modeling, even working with kpop idols and started on yt. i want to know how i could do that...
also sundai love is a good example
How to apply as a staff in Korean entertainment industry? Is experience required? Is there a visa sponsorship?
Thats an E7 visa, you would have to get a visa directly through a specific company
I wanna be a Korean actor ☺️🐶
Me too
Can you work online (private tutoring for chinese students) whilst on this visa?
Technically no, that would be considered illegal under this visa
can a graphic designer apply for this visa
Im not sure. It could fall under this category but best bet would be to get an E7 corporate visa with a company
@@ChenFromBklyn thanks
So do the people who passed the auditions need E6 visa or can they just come with the tourist visa? They are not really trainees yet but do they need? I don't know anything about Visa so😅
Thank you for sharing the informations❤️
Idk anything about an E6 visit but I know you aren't allowed to work on a tourist visit anywhere. But a working holiday visa is basically a tourist visa you are allowed to work on because it last for a year but you need like $12k or something saved and be 30 or younger to qualify for that visa
@@Kez_hCan you audition if you enter Korea with a tourist visa?
@@sertralinadeavena provably since you aren't making money auditioning. if the company is willing to sponsor you if they pick you, then they would turn that tourist visa into a work visa.
Please save my life
Does arts mean modling
Modeling is included in the category 💕
@@ChenFromBklyn can it include content creators as well? Ik its an old video but please do reply
Is writing also a e6 visa job?
No, you would need to find a writing job with a company which would be an E7 visa
