HYBE to Curate New Indian Girl Group
The South Korean media giant is currently hosting auditions throughout the country
HYBE, the global media conglomerate based in South Korea, is currently holding auditions for an Indian girl group. This will be the first Indian group under the HYBE umbrella, which also curated the mega stars, BTS.
Why it matters:
India is currently experiencing a major concert boom.
This influx of live music is fueled by a majority young population. 65% of the 1.5 billion people living there are under the age of 35.
How it works:
HYBE has opened a portal calling on girls born between 2005 and 2011 to audition.
They can audition in the following categories: vocals, rap, modelling, dancing, or acting.
Auditions will take place across 10 cities in India, including Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai.
What they said:
HYBE India: “We expect strong potential from India and young people of Indian origin, and will spare no effort in supporting outstanding talent so they can bring their cultural identity to the global stage. The combination of HYBE’s global system and the creative energy of local Indian experts will generate positive synergy.”
