Hive-GeffenRecord's second audition program "WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE" will premiere on Japanese OTT platform ABEMA at 8 p.m. on the 24th.

"World Scout: The Final Peace" depicts the journey of finding the last member of a new four-member girl group to command the global stage. More than 14,000 participants flocked to the audition to select just one person, heralding fierce competition.

The final contestants will debut within this year with Emily Kelavos, Lexie Levin, and Samara Siqueira, who made their faces with the audition program "The Debut: Dream Academy," which produced KATSEYE.

The studio panel is also spectacular. Sakura and Kazuha of LE SSERAFIM, Iroha and Mocha of ILLIT, and producer and actor Rino Sashihara from AKB48. They will support the program by watching the participants' growth process and important moments of choice with a warm gaze.

Son Sung-deuk, general creator of HxG, serves as a judge. Known as a choreographer for BTS, he previously oversaw all areas of planning, music, visual, and directing of "The Debut: Dream Academy" and raised the potential of participants. His cool-headed yet delicate advice is expected to shine again this time.

Global music industry officials are paying attention to the expansion of the "K-pop methodology" advocated by Chairman Bang Si-hyuk of Hive. The core is Hive's unique infrastructure, which finds potential prospects, grows them into "completed artists" through vocal, dance, and personality education, and provides an organically connected system to communities where fandom can be formed.

KATSEYE proved this. KATSEYE, which is currently active, has achieved remarkable results in the U.S. Billboard "Hot 100" and "Billboards 200," as well as the U.K.'s official "Single Top 100" and Spotify Global Chart less than a year after its debut. At the 68th Grammy Awards, they were simultaneously nominated for "Best New Artist" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance."
