RETOPIA SALON is launching a global audition to pick the final member of its boy group slated to debut in 2027.

On the 16th, RETOPIA SALON revealed the poster and a guide video for the '2026 RETOPIA SALON Global Audition' via its official social media, officially kicking off recruitment.

Running from April to June, the audition tour will visit 18 cities across the globe, including Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, the United States, and Canada. Applicants must be born between 2008 and 2014, and anyone can apply regardless of nationality or gender. In addition to selecting the final boy group member, the company will also scout talent for a future girl group project.

The newly released guide short film outlines what applicants should prepare and the evaluation criteria. More than a simple notice, it delivers an encouraging message for those chasing their dreams.

RETOPIA SALON is an entertainment company founded with the participation of figures behind BTS's global success. Alongside the boy group launch, the company is producing various content and drawing significant attention across the industry.
