Withus Entertainment Announces New Girl Group Project with Nationwide Karaoke Auditions

Withus Entertainment, the agency behind popular K-pop group Apink, is gearing up to launch a new girl group.

On the 30th, Withus Entertainment (hereafter referred to as Withus) announced, "We have embarked on a project to create a new girl group, initiating the search for members and building the concept." They further stated, "Without setting a specific debut date, we prioritize perfection in training and aim to present a new paradigm in K-pop."

This marks the first new artist project since the debut of the rookie boy group The Wind in 2023, three years ago. Since 2025, Withus has expanded its diverse lineup of K-pop artists by signing Apink members Park Cho-rong, Yoon Bo-mi, Kim Nam-joo, and Oh Ha-young, as well as Wheein from Mamamoo and Hui from Pentagon.

The project will kick off with nationwide karaoke auditions. From May 1 to May 31, Withus, in collaboration with karaoke brand TJ Media, will hold auditions for aspiring female vocalists and rappers born between 2005 and 2012.

Starting with the May karaoke auditions, Withus plans to develop the new girl group launch project through various methods.
