The girl group will prepare and make their debut in Los Angeles, California, where their music will be unveiled under HYBE's upcoming JV label. HYBE is one of South Korea's leading entertainment companies and is behind global pop superstars BTS.
The JV label will then join forces with UMG's Geffen Records which has produced legendary music acts like Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, as well as this year's breakout star Olivia Rodrigo.
