SINGAPORE – Do you have what it takes to be a K-pop idol?

Ador, an independent label under South Korean entertainment giant Hybe, announced on March 3 that it will be launching a global audition to look for members for a new boy band.

The audition in Singapore is scheduled to be held at 6pm on March 28 at DF Academy, a hip-hop and K-pop performing dance school with outlets in locations such as Jurong East, Ang Mo Kio and Tampines.

Interested applicants can register at adoraudition.world

Auditions are scheduled to be held in 10 other cities in South Korea, Japan, Canada, United States and Australia on different dates.

The audition is open to male individuals who are born in 2007 or later, and they can apply individually or in groups.

Applicants can showcase talents such as singing, dancing, rapping, acting, songwriting/composing, vlogging and photography.

Ador is the label of K-pop girl group NewJeans, who were in a year-long legal stand-off over the unilateral termination of their contract in November 2024.

Members Hanni, Haerin and Hyein have since returned to Ador, while Minji is still in talks. Danielle’s
