STAR HUNT ACADEMY: A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF PPOP IDOL DEVELOPMENT

Why "Star Hunt" had the perfect example when it comes to development in PPOP industry?

1. NATIONWIDE SEARCH

The "Star Hunt Academy" started off on its nationwide search called "Star Hunt" way back 2018, that was held on various places in the Philippines, and even worldwide. The "Star Hunt" is a "one-stop-shop" nationwide-search from ABS-CBN that can offer you to be part of various TV shows from the said network (Ex. "The Voice", "PBB", and "I Can See Your Voice") 

Having this kind of audition search on a nationwide-basis is a great choice of choosing the "best-of-the-best" auditioners and became PPOP idols one day. It is also a great opportunity to audition for those who are far away. 

2. HIGH-PROFILE COACHES

When Star Hunt Academy started around August 2019, there were great coaches who are mentoring to the trainees.In fact, 19 trainees at that start of training. Here are some of the coaches that had:

  · Mickey Perz (well-known dancer, and mainstay of ABS-CBN for long time)

  · Kitchy Molina (veteran music professor, and vocal coach in Pinoy Dream Academy in 2006, where Yeng Constantino won the show)

  · Doctor MU (Korean mentor, known for mentoring Stray Kids Changbin)

3. HURDLES DURING THE PERIOD

 

In span of more than a year, just look at what happened on that period.

  · March 2020 - COVID-19 lockdown and limited movements on all sectors.

  · May 2020 - Shutdown of ABS-CBN free to air network as an order from National Telecommunications Commission(NTC) Due to its Franchise Expiration

  · July 2020 - The ABS-CBN's sister channels went back, however, it went closed few days later as an order from NTC came for clarification.

Not to mention also that trainees are fighting the home sickness while they are in lockdown, and some of them are came back from their hometown for urgency, that led to the quarantine period to the trainees.

4. DIREK'S COMMITMENT

Despite the hurdles came in just a short amount of time, there's one thing that made SHA Trainees successful: The commitment of Direk Lauren Dyogi.

The head of Star Magic has been very committed to the people whose have potential to become successful singer, dancer, or actor one day. And one of it is the development of SHA Trainees for more than a year, which the products became BGYO (male PPOP group) and BINI (female PPOP group).

PPOP is happening, PPOP is rising!
