iNKODE Launches Global Audition to Discover Next K-Pop Stars

The global entertainment group iNKODE is on the hunt for the next generation of K-Pop stars. Founded by singer and actor Kim Jaejoong and former Cube Entertainment Vice President Noh Hyun-tae, iNKODE is set to kick off its 2025 global audition. Following the successful debut of its first girl group, SAY MY NAME (세이마이네임), which Kim Jaejoong personally produced, iNKODE has garnered significant international attention, even being featured in a recent documentary by French public broadcasting.

The auditions will commence on January 11, 2025, starting in Seoul and expanding to five other cities across South Korea (Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, Busan, Jeju), as well as Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, Beijing and Shanghai in China, Thailand, and the United States. iNKODE aims to debut its first boy group through this global audition, seeking to discover talents who will lead the next wave of K-Pop.

Notably, iNKODE has enlisted former Wanna One members Lee Dae-hwi and Park Woo-jin, with Jang Yu-jin, a co-producer from Brand New Music, overseeing the development of new talent.

The global audition opened for pre-registration on December 16 at 6 PM via iNKODE's audition email. Anyone born between 2005 and 2015, regardless of gender or nationality, can apply by selecting one area of expertise: singing, rapping, dancing, or visuals.
