BIGHIT Already Searching for Its Next Stars After CORTIS

BIGHIT MUSIC, the label behind BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER and CORTIS, is launching a global audition to discover its next generation of male artists.

The label announced on Sept. 14 that it will hold the "2026 BIGHIT MUSIC GLOBAL AUDITION." A poster released alongside the announcement shows boys running across an open field beneath a wide sky.

The audition will be held both online and offline. Any male born in or after 2008 can apply, with no restrictions on category or format.

Online applications will be accepted through BIGHIT MUSIC's official audition website from Sept. 14 to Dec. 5. Applicants may submit material that showcases their individual talents and character.

Offline auditions will run from Oct. 3 to Dec. 5 at 15 locations worldwide, including Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Singapore. No advance registration is required, and applicants may register at the venue on the day of the audition.

"We welcome every applicant pursuing their dream," BIGHIT MUSIC said. "We encourage those with individuality and talent across a wide range of fields to take part."

Further details, including the full offline audition schedule, are available on BIGHIT MUSIC's official audition website.
