AsianInspired"We are planning to debut a new group in partnership with Universal for the global stage and will hold a global audition. We are aiming to air this audition program with a U.S. media partner in 2022."
Because this new group will be trained in a K-pop style, which means the new form of 'Hallyu' is coming and would be a new milestone for the K-Pop era.

Big Hit Entertainment also announced recently a trilateral partnership with Naver's streaming platform 'V Live' and record label YG Entertainment. Gaming company NCSOFT too setup its K-pop fan platform 'Universe' which had over 4-million subscribers a week before launch.
industry experts say South Korea is leading the way when it comes to online platforms, where artists and fans can communicate freely.
"The online concert and fan platforms are already active. There's competition to proactively take control of the market. In Europe and States, it is usually artist-centered, but Korea has come up with platforms centering on fandom."
With this big collaboration of BigHit Entertainment and UMG, K-pop has now the ability to reach an even wider global audience through introduction of fan platforms.
