Survival Audition K-pop Star (Korean: 서바이벌 오디션 K팝 스타) is a South Korean reality competition television series where three entertainment/talent agencies in South Korea hold worldwide auditions to find the next potential K-pop stars. Preliminary auditions are held around the world in Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia. The final winner debuts with the company of his or her choice, along with a cash prize of three hundred million won (approx. 300,000 U.S. dollars), two brand new vehicles, opportunities to become commercial models and casting in dramas, and many more benefits.[2]

The original three judges for the series were Yang Hyun-suk, founder of YG Entertainment and former member of the popular South Korean act Seo Taiji & Boys, Park Jin-young, singer/songwriter and founder of JYP Entertainment, and Korean pop icon BoA, from SM Entertainment. SM, YG, and JYP are the three largest management companies in Korea.[3] BoA was replaced by singer-songwriter You Hee-yeol of Antenna Music for Season 3.[4] With the changes in judges for the third season, the three judges no longer represent the "Big 3" management companies.

K-pop Star is a part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup, along with Running Man. The show's first season aired on December 4, 2011, every Sunday evening at 6:30 pm, until April 29, 2012. The second season aired from November 18, 2012 to April 14, 2013 at 4:55 pm. Singer Yoon Do-hyun and entertainer Boom hosted the live competition for Season 1 and 2.[5] Yoon Do-hyun narrated through the entire process in Season 1 and 2. The third season aired from November 24, 2013 to April 13, 2014, every Sunday evening at 4:40 pm KST.[6] Jun Hyun-moo and Yoo Hye-young became the new hosts of Season 3, replacing Yoon Do-hyun and Boom.[7] The fourth season aired from November 23, 2014 to April 12, 2015 every Sunday evening at 4:50 pm KST,[8] with Girl's Day's Yura as live host, replacing Yoo Hye-young.[9] The fifth season began airing on November 22, 2015.

The sixth season was announced to be the final season of K-pop Star, titled K-pop Star 6: The Last Chance.[10] Changes to the format have been made to the final season to encourage anyone to participate in "the last chance" to become a K-pop Star.[10] The final season aired in November 2016.
