"Audition Online" was developed by T3 Entertainment and was released to Korean publisher 'Royworld' during July 2005. During June 2006, YeDang Online took "Audition Online" and named it "Club Audition". The game also saw its first release outside of Korea in 2006 in the South-East Asian region, the Japanese region under the name "Dancing Paradise" and the Vietnamese region. In 2007, major publisher Nexon localised the game for the American audience.

In June 2008, "Audition" saw the first release of the Season 2 update where the new game mode "Beat Rush" was added, updated graphics and adjusting the aspect ratio to 1024x768.
