Entertainment agency iNKODE is looking for the next generation of K-pop stars. Founded by singer-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 iNKODE's first rookie girl group SAY MY NAME, which was personally produced by Kim Jaejoong in October, the company has continued to attract international attention. The French national broadcaster even featured iNKODE's talent development system in a documentary, highlighting the company's growing global presence.
Building on this momentum, iNKODE Entertainment will launch the '2025 iNKODE GLOBAL AUDITION' starting on January 11, 2025, in Seoul. The auditions will then be held in five major cities across Korea (Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, Busan, and Jeju), as well as in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka), China (Beijing, Shanghai), Thailand, and the United States.
The goal of this global audition is to debut iNKODE's first-ever boy group, with plans to recruit talented individuals who will lead the next generation of K-pop.
Adding to the excitement, key industry figures will be directly involved in iNKODE’s artist development. This includes Jang Yoo Jin, who discovered former Wanna One members and current AB6IX members Lee Dae Hwi and Park Woo Jin, and who also served as the Co-Producer at Brand New Music. Jang Yoo Jin will now oversee iNKODE’s rookie development as its Head of Talent Development, raising anticipation for the birth of a new K-pop sensation.
The 2025 iNKODE GLOBAL AUDITION officially began accepting applications on December 16 at 6 PM KST via iNKODE Entertainment's audition email. Anyone born between 2005 and 2015 is eligible to apply, regardless of gender or nationality. Applicants can choose one of the following categories: singing, rapping, dancing, or visuals.
