HYBE is significantly expanding its talent scouting scope.

HYBE INDIA announced on the 2nd (local time) via its official SNS that it will hold 'HYBE INDIA AUDITION: FINAL CALL'.

This project extends the girl group audition (HYBE INDIA GIRL GROUP AUDITION) that began last March. Any woman born between 2005 and 2011 can apply, with participants being recruited across various categories including vocals, rap, dance, acting, and modeling.

The previously held girl group audition was a great success. Applicants, including overseas-based Indians, flocked from not only 28 states and 6 union territories in India but also from 165 cities in 116 countries worldwide. This demonstrates the high expectations of prospective global artists for Bang Si-hyeok's 'Multi-home, Multi-genre' strategy led by Chairman Bang, the 'K-pop Methodology,' and the T&D (Training & Development) system.

Accordingly, HYBE INDIA has decided to further broaden the venues for in-person auditions. Eight additional cities have been added: Lucknow, Dimapur, Kohima, Shillong, Jaipur, Indore, Goa, and Kochi. Following the first-round auditions held in 10 Indian cities and 5 overseas cities, the total number of in-person audition venues will now reach 23 cities.

Lee Woo-chang, CEO of HYBE INDIA, stated, "The interest poured into the audition reveals the depth of talent and ambition present throughout India." He added, "Applicants from very diverse regions and backgrounds participated together, which has firmly reinforced our belief that there are still many outstanding talents yet to be discovered everywhere." The CEO further noted, "In Do-reul (CEO)Our goal is to discover and systematically nurture and develop individuals with the potential to thrive on the global stage. We look forward to encountering new voices, talents, and stories in this process."

HYBE has already been concretizing its 'Multi-home, Multi-genre' strategy by discovering and nurturing talented artists in regions such as the United States, Japan, and Latin America. Representative examples include KATSEYE under HYBE-Geffen Records, &TEAM under YX Labels, a subsidiary of HYBE JAPAN, and SANTOS BRAVOS presented by HYBE LATIN America. Among these, Lala, a member of KATSEYE which recently topped the U.S. 'Billboard 200,' is an artist with roots in India.
