The clock is running out for India's K-pop dreamers. HYBE India, the Indian arm of the company behind BTS, will close online applications for its HYBE INDIA Audition: Final Call on Saturday, 31 October 2026. The search is for members of a new global girl group based in India.
Who can apply
- Young women born between 2005 and 2011
- Five categories: vocals, rap, dance, acting and modelling
- Applications online through the official HYBE India audition website, where you choose your preferred city
- Shortlisted candidates are sent venue details later
The eight new cities
The Final Call added Lucknow, Dimapur, Kohima, Shillong, Jaipur, Indore, Goa and Kochi to the on-ground audition map, reaching far beyond the metros. Tess Joseph Casting is running the on-ground auditions, while Panchami Ghavri Casting handles online casting in India and abroad.
How we got here
HYBE India's first girl-group audition opened in March 2026 and closed on 31 July. The response pushed the company to launch the Final Call on 2 September, and applications have now come in from all 28 states and six union territories, and from more than 1,650 cities across 116 countries. In September, actor Rashmika Mandanna joined the campaign, sharing her own journey to encourage young women to apply.
HYBE India CEO Damien Woochang Lee has said the response showed the depth of talent and ambition across the country.
Why it matters
HYBE's training system produced BTS, SEVENTEEN, TXT, ENHYPEN and LE SSERAFIM. An Indian girl group backed by that machinery would be the most serious attempt yet to build a homegrown pop act for the global market.
