T-ara appointed as mentors for the audition series "Global Super Idol"


Girl group T-ara will join contestants in a large audition series.

The girl group who recently has been promoting "Roly-Poly" will be serving as the "Super Idol Suppoters" in the ETN audition show "Global Super Idols" which airs this October.

T-ara will be part of "The Rookie Project" where they plan to be mentors, or "Super Idol Supporters" to the participants in the audition.

The audition will travel to six different regions across the country including Seoul and those who pass the preliminary round of auditions will then move on to the next part of the audition. During that second time of the audition process, the seven girls will serve as mentors individually to a rookie.

Hyomin, Jiyeon, Eunjung, Boram, Qri, Soyeon and Ryu Hwayoung will also be in a confrontation during the survival elimination part of the show because each of the girls will be mentoring their own rookie, so there will also be a competition between T-ara to see who's rookie will do the best.

An official for GSI said, "T-ara recently has become very popular with their retro fashion and has a lot of interest around them. They've released several albums and each of them had different concepts and costumes. They live as 'style icons' and they will be able to give a good experience and specialized training for the rookies before they are able to debut."

The winner of the series will sign a 1 billion won ($1 million USD) contract and get a foreign car as a prize along with an opportunity to sign a contract with Yedang Entertainment.

Meanwhile, "Global Super Idol" will be looking for contestants until mid-September and qualify people at the end of September. Tony Ahn is confirmed as the MC and T-ara have the role of mentors.
