HYBE Labels and Geffen Records have officially begun introducing the contestants for their upcoming global girl group debut project, 'The Final Piece.' The program, which kicks off its broadcast in spring 2026, will determine the next girl group to debut under HYBE x Geffen, following the success of KATSEYE.
Since August 25, HYBE and Geffen have unveiled the first three contestants through the 'Prelude: The Final Piece' photo series: Emily Kelavos, Samara Siqueira, and Lexie Levin. The project has already sparked massive interest online, with netizens praising the visuals of the trainees.
