Tonight, the collaboration between JYP Entertainment, Republic Records, and Federal Films will unveil the highly anticipated global K-Pop competition series, A2K, exclusively on JYP Entertainment's Official YouTube channel. The premiere is set for July 13 at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT.

In this debut episode, J.Y. Park, the Founder of JYP Entertainment, takes center stage as he introduces the visionary project, "America 2 Korea" (A2K). 

This extraordinary show will document the unprecedented journey of shaping the very first American girl group to be trained within the revered K-Pop system. Embarking on a nationwide search, auditions kick off in two of the five selected cities: Dallas and Chicago. As the episode unfolds, viewers will be introduced to a diverse array of talented candidates, all vying for the opportunity of a lifetime.

The aspiring trainees will be evaluated based on four crucial aspects: dancing, singing, star quality, and character. Guided through multiple rounds of intense auditions by top JYP executives, these hopefuls will face the ultimate test—an audition with none other than J.Y. Park himself. 

Amidst the fierce competition, three exceptional young women emerge, captivating audiences with their undeniable potential to become global superstars. The suspense builds as we eagerly anticipate who will be awarded the coveted A2K Pendant, the key that unlocks their next chapter: Boot Camp in the vibrant city of Los Angeles.

The series is spearheaded by J.Y. Park and Republic Records Founder and Chief Executive Monte Lipman. The all-girl supergroup comprised through A2K will partner with both JYP Entertainment and Republic Records for all future music releases.
