JYP Entertainment is set to launch a girl group audition project called A2K in collaboration with Republic Records on July 13th. Through this project, JYP aims to debut a girl group that will become the "Nizyu" of the United States. Even with just the teaser announcement of this project, JYP Entertainment's stock has received significant attention, causing fluctuations. Let's take a brief look at the A2K project.
1. A2K (America2Korea) Project
The A2K project is a global girl group launch project initiated through a collaboration between JYP Entertainment and Republic Records. Auditions were held in five major cities in the United States, including Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Dallas, and LA. The participants who pass these auditions are currently receiving K-pop training at JYP headquarters in Korea. If this girl group succeeds, they will follow in the footsteps of NiziU, the Japanese sensation, becoming a successful girl group in the U.S. market based on the K-pop system and JYP's localization for global expansion.
(* Republic Records: A label under Universal Music that serves as the North American label for TWICE.)
