HYBE Announces Complete Lineup for New Girl Group SAINT SATINE
The entertainment company confirmed on the 13th that their latest girl group, formed in partnership with America’s Geffen Records, now has all its members finalized. This marks the second collaborative project between the two companies following KATSEYE.
Four-Member Formation
The quartet includes Emily (United States), Lexi (Sweden), Samara (Brazil), and the newly selected Sakura (Japan). Emily, Lexi, and Samara had previously secured their spots through the audition program ‘The Debut: Dream Academy,’ which also produced KATSEYE.
Final Member Selection
Sakura emerged victorious from the Japanese streaming platform ABEMA’s competition show ‘World Scout: The Final Piece,’ which concluded recently. She overcame remarkable odds of 14,000 to 1 to earn her position. (Note: This is a different person from the Sakura in LE SSERAFIM under HYBE’s Source Music label.)
Group Name Meaning
The name SAINT SATINE combines concepts of “powerful charisma and musical presence” with “smooth, elegant, and sophisticated imagery.”
The group plans to debut in the latter half of this year and is currently preparing for their official activities.
