HYBE and Geffen Records have launched “World Scout: The Final Piece,” a global audition to form a new international girl group following the success of KATSEYE. Open to women and non-binary individuals aged 15 to 24, the audition runs from August 6 to September 22, with final selections made in the U.S. after intensive training. The process will be featured in a reality series airing on ABEMA in spring 2026. Building on the model of The Debut: Dream Academy, which created KATSEYE, the project aims to replicate its global impact and chart success, including Billboard hits and festival performances.
