YG’s Toronto audition is Saturday. Here’s what hopefuls have one minute to show.
After Vancouver on Wednesday, YG’s Canada walk-in moves to KCCA Toronto on Saturday, 1 to 4 p.m. Hopefuls born 2008–2015 get one minute of vocal, rap, or dance.

YG’s Canada stop already ran through Vancouver on Wednesday. Toronto is next. On Saturday, November 14, the agency behind BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER holds a walk-in at KCCA Toronto, the Korean Canadian Cultural Association at 1133 Leslie Street in North York. Registration is 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. local time, with no online pre-sign-up on the Canadian dates. Miss that window and the notice does not list a later line for this city.
Applicants need to have been born between 2008 and 2015, any gender and any nationality, which covers most early-to-late teens. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or legal guardian’s consent, or the guardian comes with them. Photo ID with a date of birth is required, whether that is a passport, driver’s licence, or the equivalent. YG also allows only one try across the whole 2026 Global Audition schedule, so a Toronto audition rules out Sydney, Auckland, or any other stop later this year.
Hopefuls pick one category, vocal, rap, or dance, and stay inside one minute. Canada’s notice leaves out the “Other” option some Asia-Pacific cities still list. Dancers have to bring a YouTube URL for their track and enter it on the form at the venue; edited files and links from other platforms do not count. The Canada notice does not say whether vocal and rap must be unaccompanied, though other 2026 city notices do. Singers and rappers who want fewer surprises should rehearse a cut they can carry without a backing track, or ask audition@ygmail.net before relying on karaoke. YG has not named preferred songs or required choreography. Bring something you can finish cleanly in sixty seconds.
The rest is getting there on time. YG is not providing separate parking, so TTC or a drop-off makes more sense than hunting for a spot on Leslie. From Line 2 at Leslie Station, the 51 Leslie bus passes the building, and KCCA’s directions also route people from Eglinton to nearby Leslie Street stops. Test any dance YouTube link on the phone you bring, have under-18 consent sorted before you arrive, and check YG’s Vancouver-Toronto notice again Friday night in case the hours or venue shift. Vancouver used the same 1-to-4 window at Element by Marriott Vancouver Metrotown in Burnaby. Sydney and Auckland are still on the December calendar, but the once-per-tour rule still applies. For GTA hopefuls who last saw a local YG desk in 2024, Saturday is the next open door.
