Overview
- Ooak Records opened submissions worldwide for trainees born between 2006 and 2011 with no nationality or gender restrictions, closing Thursday at 10 p.m.
- A closed, in-person audition is scheduled for Sunday at Feedback Dance Studio in Songpa-gu, a venue widely regarded as one of Korea’s top dance academies.
- The audition criteria and messaging suggest the company is weighing both girl group and boy group projects, according to industry reporting.
- Corporate filings show the new firm is registered near Sinsa-dong with business lines spanning artist management, music production and distribution, concerts and events, and brand management, with Min listed as an internal director.
- The recruiting push follows an October court ruling upholding ADOR’s exclusive contract with NewJeans and comes as Min continues a separate legal dispute with HYBE over a shareholders’ agreement and put option, with ADOR still in talks with three NewJeans members about their return.
