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

Touching on their international competence, HYBE will steer the uncovering and progress of the group, interactions with fans, and more. Geffen Records will make use of their far-reaching connections in the industry to manage the production, promotion, and distribution aspects.

HYBE also recently held a year-end briefing where they announced upcoming plans and projects for the company and their artists.
