HYBE × Geffen's New Global Girl Group 'SAINT SATINE' Revealed at 'World Scout: The Final Piece' Finale

On May 12, 2026, HYBE × Geffen Records reveals their new global girl group, SAINT SATINE, in the finale of the survival show 'World Scout: The Final Piece' airing on ABEMA. The four-member lineup: Emily (USA, 20), Lexie (Sweden, 21), Samara (Brazil, 20), and Sakura (Japan, 15) — the latter selected from over 14,000 applicants as the fourth and final member via the survival format, defeating runner-up Ayana. Two debut tracks were released globally on streaming platforms the same day: 'WE RIDE' and 'PARTY B4 THE PARTY.' Three of the four members — Emily, Lexie, and Samara — previously appeared in the HYBE × Geffen Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE project, signaling HYBE's continued use of global multi-national girl group constructs. SAINT SATINE represents HYBE's most prominent Western-facing act after KATSEYE and arrives during BTS's ARIRANG World Tour peak revenue period, giving the company the financial runway to fund a major global act launch.
