■About『WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE』

『WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE』 is a scout project by HYBE × Geffen Records, a collaboration between HYBE, which has produced numerous global artists including BTS, and Geffen Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, one of the world's largest music companies, aiming for full-scale entry into the global market. In this project, the top scout team from HYBE × Geffen Records will visit Japan with the goal of a global debut in 2026, conducting a large-scale audition targeting the entire country. Alongside the three participants who were part of 'The Debut: Dream Academy', EMILY, LEXIE, and SAMARA, the project aims to discover the "single artist" who will become the final member of a new global girl group to debut from HYBE × Geffen Records, in Japan.

The studio cast for this project includes Rino Sashihara, and from HYBE MUSIC GROUP LABELS, SAKURA and KAZUHA, members of the globally active five-member girl group LE SSERAFIM (SOURCE MUSIC), as well as MOKA and IROHA, members of the five-member girl group ILLIT (BELIFT LAB). This豪華 cast will watch over the growth and decision-making moments of the participants who are challenging for their dreams.

In episode #6, airing on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, HIORI, AYANA, SAKURA, and AOI, who have passed the third round of auditions, will finally travel to Los Angeles, USA. Along with their shared living experience there, a new challenge towards the final selection will begin. The content of the final mission will also be announced, marking the start of rigorous training that demands world-class performance.

Furthermore, top-tier coaches selected by HYBE × Geffen Records, who have worked with artists such as Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, and Ariana Grande, will gather. The candidates will push their limits in an environment that is more high-level than ever before.

Additionally, in the studio, SAKURA and KAZUHA of LE SSERAFIM, and MOKA and IROHA of ILLIT will discuss the difficulties of overcoming language and environmental barriers, and their growth processes, based on their own experiences of working overseas.
