The journey to discover the next HYBE Labels x Geffen Records global girl group is just around the corner, as the upcoming debut competition program begins introducing its contestants. 

Since August 25 EST, HYBE Labels x Geffen Records has been introducing the contestants who will compete on the new global girl group debut competition project, previously known as 'The Final Piece'. 

Through a series of photos titled 'Prelude: The Final Piece', HYBE Labels and Geffen Records introduced the first contestant Emily Kelavos on August 25 EST, Samara Siqueira on August 26 EST, and Lexie Levin on August 27 EST. 

Meanwhile, earlier this month, HYBE and Geffen announced auditions throughout Japan titled 'World Scout: The Final Piece', recruiting contestants from Japan who will compete on 'The Final Piece'. 

The contestants of 'The Final Piece' will undergo a rigorous K-Pop training program and regimen in the United States from October through December, before beginning a survival training camp which will be broadcast in the form of a competition program. The winning members will debut in a global girl group co-produced by HYBE and Geffen Records. 

If you're curious about the girl group that will become the next KATSEYE, you can catch 'The Final Piece' on air beginning in the spring of 2026.
