Two years after the successful debut of KATSEYE in 2024, HYBE and Geffen Records have finally introduced the complete lineup of their second global girl group, SAINT SATINE.
Following the finale of the Japanese survival show World Scout: The Final Piece, SAINT SATINE are now welcoming their much-anticipated fourth and final member, Sakura (Japan). Known formerly as Prelude, fellow members Emily (USA), Lexie (Sweden), and Samara (Brazil) have been waiting for the final piece of their pre-debut group since the release of their intro film on YouTube in August 2025.
Airing on the Japanese streaming service Abema from February to May, World Scout: The Final Piece is the joint project of HYBE and Geffen Records, wherein 14,000 Japanese applicants auditioned in the hopes of becoming a part of their next powerhouse girl group.
On May 12, the 16-year-old Tobi Sakura from Toyama, Japan was announced as the winner during the show’s finale in Los Angeles, joining the former The Debut: Dream Academy contestants — Emily Kelavos from the United States, Lexie Levin from Sweden, and Samara Siqueira from Brazil — as the final lineup of SAINT SATINE.
Marking their first-ever group appearance, the four-member multinational act came together on the World Scout finale stage to perform their first single, “PARTY b4 the PARTY.” Released on major streaming platforms, the group also unveiled a second single titled “WE RIDE,” giving a glimpse into their chemistry and sound.
SAINT SATINE are expected to make their debut by 2026. Stay tuned for more details through their Weverse.
