Indian K-Pop Girlies, Get Ready! HYBE India Officially Launches Auditions for New Global Girl Group!
The wait is finally over! HYBE, the global powerhouse
behind K-pop icons like BTS, SEVENTEEN, and LE SSERAFIM,
has officially set its sights on India. On March 31, 2026, the agency’s
local subsidiary, HYBE India, announced its first-ever large-scale
audition project to form a brand-new global girl group.
If you’ve been dreaming of the global stage, this is your
"Dream Academy" moment right here at home. Here is everything you
need to know about the HYBE India Girl Group Auditions 2026, including
eligibility, categories, and how to apply.
The Vision: "Where Voices of India Become Global
Stories"
Under the leadership of Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, HYBE
is implementing its "Multi-home, Multi-genre" strategy. Following the
success of the multinational group KATSEYE (which features
Indian-American member Lara Raj), HYBE India aims to discover
"hidden gemstones" across the subcontinent.
Lee Woo-chang, CEO of HYBE India, stated:
"India has many talented and passionate individuals,
but there has been a lack of a consistent pathway to the global stage. This
audition will serve as a new starting point for young talent."
