Do you have what it takes to make music for popular K-pop groups?

Belift Lab, the label behind boy band ENHYPEN, said Tuesday it was holding a global audition for producers specializing in pop music.

The audition, titled "2025 Next New Creator with BELIFT LAB," will run from March 10 to April 10, the agency said in a statement.

Applicants aged 18 and above can apply individually or as a team through the official Next New Creator website. They can submit up to five demo files.

"Individuality and unique style are a focus this year," Belift said.

Applicants who pass the the initial screening will be contacted directly to proceed to further stages, including the main competition. 

Finalists of the main competition will be awarded 5 million Korean won (around P197,000) and have the opportunity to work on Belift projects, the company said.

Belift Lab was founded in 2018 as a joint venture between South Korean entertainment giants HYBE and CJ ENM, until HYBE gained full control of the agency in 2023.
