A groundbreaking fusion of technology and entertainment is set to transform the K-Pop landscape as Galaxy Corporation announces its “2025 GLOBAL VIRTUAL ARTIST AUDITION,” scheduled for September 8, 2025, at the historic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.
The audition marks the first major talent search under Galaxy’s newly formed artist division, which aims to redefine the future of K-Pop through inclusivity and technological innovation.
Unlike traditional idol group formations, Galaxy’s vision centers on creating “entertainers without borders,” where selected artists will embody their voice, movement, and personality into fully virtual avatars. This approach eliminates physical and cultural limitations that have historically defined the industry.
Candidates must submit a video of at least one minute showcasing their talents before participating in the in-person Los Angeles audition, with plans for subsequent rounds in other major global cities.
The selection process will evaluate potential for vocal, rap, dance, and digital performance capabilities, seeking diverse global talent that can transcend traditional idol group boundaries. The pioneering audition is open to candidates of any age and gender, removing conventional restrictions common in traditional K-pop recruiting.
Successful applicants will undergo extensive training including specialized motion capture sessions to translate physical movements into virtual avatar expressions and instruction on digital stage presence for immersive platforms. Vocal training will emphasize proper breath control techniques to ensure performers can maintain quality sound across virtual performances.
Galaxy’s Creative Technology division has developed advanced motion capture and virtual reality technologies to create realistic, dynamic avatars that perform across multiple platforms.
These technologies will facilitate live connections with global audiences without geographic constraints, pushing the boundaries of identity and performance in K-Pop entertainment. Successful virtual artists will have their content distributed across streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Tidal to maximize global reach and engagement.
The audition is part of Galaxy Corporation’s broader entertainment portfolio, which includes the hit Netflix series Physical 100, demonstrating the company’s established credibility in creating compelling content.
