Get ready, the K-pop world is preparing to experience a new planetary earthquake.
The South Korean entertainment giant Mnet has just struck a major blow by releasing the very first teaser video for “GIRLS PLANET 2027”, in partnership with REPUBLIC Collective. This vibrant teaser sets the tone for a competition of unprecedented scale, designed to scout the next international stars of the music industry.
The video opens with a captivating sequence of young talents from various backgrounds, practicing their passion in their daily lives: a dancer in a laundromat, a student reviewing to music, a cheerleader in a locker room, or an artist recording from her bedroom. These realistic scenes convey the diversity and universality of the talents sought across the world.
The atmosphere then shifts into a spectacular and futuristic dimension as a huge cosmic planet appears in the sky above several major cities. This celestial symbol, the visual signature of the franchise, illustrates the gathering of aspiring idols under a single banner. The teaser concludes with a vibrant call addressed directly to international participants.
For this new edition, Mnet does not limit itself to South Korea and is deploying an extraordinary global audition system. The goal is clear: allow any passionate young girl to try her luck, regardless of her nationality or place of residence, both in person and online.
The festivities begin immediately with a “Fast Track” option organized during KCON LA 2026, from August 14 to 16. Candidates present on site can go directly to the Los Angeles convention center, inside the KCON LA Festival Ground, to take their audition live and attempt to skip steps.
For those who cannot travel in August, a physical “GLOBAL AUDITION TOUR” is officially scheduled for early November 2026. This offline audition tour will make stops in three major international metropolises: New York, Los Angeles, and London, thus offering a direct opportunity to American and European talents.
If you are unable to travel, no panic: auditions are also open internationally via an online session. You simply need to submit your application and presentation video directly on the dedicated platform to be evaluated by the casting teams.
Whether you dream of singing, dancing, or expressing your charisma on the international stage, this unique opportunity could transform your life and propel you to the top of the international K-pop scene.
To apply right now and try your luck at the largest audition on the planet, head over to the official website: https://mnetplus.world/event/en/girlsplanetapply.
