For aspiring K-pop idols, a new opportunity is coming your way.
Source Music, home to K-pop girl group Le Sserafim, will hold its first-ever global audition to recruit male trainees, the company said Tuesday.
The audition is open to male applicants born in 2008 or later, regardless of nationality, with the application period running from January 5 to 25, 2026, Source Music said in a statement.
Applicants can try out in vocal, rap, dance or "any format that best showcases individuality and talent," the label said, with entries submitted via its audition website.
Source Music is a label under HYBE, the K-pop company behind popular acts such as BTS and SEVENTEEN. Currently, it only houses Le Sserafim, known for songs such as "Antifragile," "Crazy" and "Spaghetti."
The label previously created GFriend, another popular girl group, before the members departed the agency in 2021. GFriend later reunited in early 2025 under Source Music.
K-pop groups often include foreign members, and several Filipino artists have debuted in the industry, including Chanty of Lapillus, Gehlee and Elisia of UNIS, and JL of AHOF.
