HYBE, the parent company behind K-pop sensation BTS, is looking to India as its new talent base. The entertainment giant has announced open auditions for aspiring music talent from India and the Indian diaspora.
The HYBE INDIA Audition aims to identify and nurture artists who can represent India on the global stage. The program will offer a rare opportunity to selected applicants to enter the company's world-class training and production ecosystem.
HYBE launched its India subsidiary in Mumbai in November 2025, with the prime initiative of turning voices from India into global stories. The move gained significance as fans speculated the possibility of a BTS tour of India.
The Indian audition will be conducted through a combination of online and offline formats, with in-person auditions planned across key cities. The effort reflects the belief in the dynamic potential of Indian youth, with a vision to shape the next generation of Indian music and entertainment.
