HYBE is set to excavate girl group lumber in India.
HYBE INDIA announced on its official SNS on the 31st that it will hold a girl group audition (HYBE INDIA GIRL GROUP AUDITION). It plans to debut a "global girl group" as the first runner to expand from India to the world by discovering and fostering gemstones with great potential through large-scale auditions.
According to the recruitment guidelines, any woman born between 2005 and 2011 can apply for the audition. Participation categories are also expected to be well received by opening up various possibilities such as vocals, rap, dance, acting, and modeling.
Audition applications will run until July 31. Hive India previously said it would hold in-person auditions in major Indian cities such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Pune as well as online. Detailed city-specific schedules will be released later on the official Hive India audition website (https://india.hybeaudition.com ).
"There are many talented people and passionate people in India, but there was a lack of a consistent path to the global stage," said Lee Woo-chang, CEO of Hive India. "Hive India has established a systematic T&D (Training & Development) system locally." This audition will be a starting point for new opportunities for young people in India," he said.
Major global companies and brands as well as the local entertainment industry are paying attention. Various brands, including Samsung, H&M, Nongshim, and Shoppers Stop, will join Hive India's girl group audition project. Snapchat and BookMyShow participate as media partners and ticketing partners, respectively.
Hive India was established in June last year in accordance with HYBE's "Multi-home, Multi-genre" strategy led by Chairman Bang Si-hyuk. It plans to promote various projects based on the HYBE's capabilities across music, platforms, and IP. Through this, it is expected to establish itself as a cultural hub in South Asia, while contributing to the global spread of the 'K-pop methodology' and the diversification of IP in HYBE in the long run.
