HYBE x Geffen reveals a new girl group

HYBE x Geffen has officially introduced SAINT SATINE, its new global girl group after KATSEYE, who are also under the same two companies. In 2025, it was revealed that the same team behind KATSEYE’s creation was putting another global girl group together, with a new show called World Scout: The Final Piece. The series aimed to find the fourth and final member of the group. The quartet’s name, SAINT SATINE, was announced on May 12, 2026, along with the group’s website, social media accounts, and Weverse platform.

But before this new quartet even got started, the three former Dream Academy contestants were named as members in a short film titled Prelude: The Final Piece, looking for their debut as an official group. That is one of the reasons why the then-trio was temporarily named Prelude by viewers who were waiting for the final lineup.

Former Dream Academy contestants join the lineup

The group includes Emily Kelavos, Lexie Levin, and Samara Siqueira, who all appeared on the show that put KATSEYE together, Debut: Dream Academy. Emily, a dancer from Texas, reached the finale and later performed with XG at Coachella 2025. Lexie, from Stockholm, Sweden, left the competition after seven weeks with a controversial exit. Samara, who is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, finished in seventh place and had appeared in music videos before joining the show.

Sakura Tobi completes the group

To round up the group, Sakura Tobi, who was announced as the winner of World Scout: The Final Piece. Sakura is 16 years old and comes from Toyama, Japan. After the finale, SAINT SATINE performed and released their song “Party b4 the Party.” The quartet also unveiled “We Ride,” a second track featuring contestant Ayana, who did not make it to the final lineup. HYBE x Geffen has confirmed that SAINT SATINE is preparing for a global debut in 2026.
