THEBLACKLABEL launches global auditions to find the next Rosé and MEOVV

THEBLACKLABEL, home to Taeyang, Rosé and MEOVV, is staging large-scale auditions across 17 cities worldwide to find the next generation of K‑pop stars.

THEBLACKLABEL, the global entertainment company headed by Teddy, is searching for new talent to dominate the next generation of the K‑pop market.

THEBLACKLABEL said on the 22nd that it will hold the "2026 THEBLACKLABEL TOUR AUDITION PART 2" and has begun recruiting applicants. THEBLACKLABEL was founded in 2016 by Teddy, who served as main producer for BigBang, 2NE1 and Blackpink. It currently represents top-tier artists including BigBang's Taeyang, Jeon So‑mi, Zion.T and Blackpink's Rosé, alongside in-demand actors Park Bo‑gum and Lee Jong‑won. Notably, the company recently proved its planning and production capabilities again by successfully debuting its first girl group, MEOVV.

17-city global tour backed by joint venture with Thailand's CP Group

Applicants born between 2009 and 2016, regardless of nationality or gender, are eligible to apply. Beginning in August with Bangkok, large-scale in-person auditions will be held across 17 major cities worldwide — including Tokyo, Osaka, Toronto and Sydney — spanning the Americas, Asia and Oceania and concluding in Seoul.

Auditions in Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, will be organised by THEBLACKSEA, a joint venture established by THEBLACKLABEL and Thailand's largest conglomerate, CP Group (Charoen Pokphand Group). It will use local infrastructure to identify talent more effectively.
