Kochi : HYBE India is expanding its ‘HYBE India Audition: Final Call’ initiative to four more cities with the launch of new pop-up parks. Following the overwhelming response to the first edition, the pop-up parks will now be hosted in Chennai, Kolkata, Kochi and Chandigarh, strengthening HYBE India’s engagement with India’s growing K-pop and youth communities while bringing the audition experience closer to aspiring young talent. The audition is open to female applicants born between 2005 and 2011, with participants invited to showcase their skills in vocals, rap, dance, acting and modelling.
A key attraction of the new pop-up parks will be live on-stage auditions. Applicants can register at the venue without prior application and, on a first-come, first-served basis, get an opportunity to perform before the HYBE India team and its casting partners. The number of audition slots will be limited. In addition to auditions, the pop-up parks will feature interactive activities centred around music, fandom and creativity. Tickets for the experience will be available through District. Sarthak Arora, Head of Business Development, HYBE India, said the first edition, held across six cities, received an overwhelming response from audiences. He added that the tickets selling out within 24 hours of release demonstrated the strength of India’s K-pop community. Presented in collaboration with KIA India, Nongshim and Project B, further details regarding the dates, venues and eligibility criteria for the new pop-up parks will be announced through HYBE India’s official social media channels and the audition website.
