Saint Satin’s Members Finalized, Completing the Multinational Four-Member Lineup

The lineup for HYBE and Geffen Records’ new global girl group Saint Satin has been fully determined. Japanese member Sakura joined as the final member, completing the group’s composition with Emily (USA), Lexi (Sweden), and Samara (Brazil). This formation represents the multicultural approach HYBE and Geffen Records aim to pursue in the global entertainment market.

The selection of Saint Satin’s members was revealed through ABEMA’s audition program “World Scout: The Final Piece” in Japan. Emily, Lexi, and Samara are all graduates of “The Debut: Dream Academy,” and they joined the new group based on their experience from the same audition program that produced KATSEYE. Sakura was chosen as the fourth member after demonstrating strong team chemistry and growth potential during the final stage.

Sakura shed tears at the end of the competition. She expressed her feelings by saying, “I wanted to become an artist who shines on the world stage,” and added, “I am extremely grateful that my dream has come true.” That moment, surrounded by congratulations from Ayana, marked the completion of the group’s four-member structure.

The group name “Saint Satin” combines “Saint,” which signifies a powerful musical presence, with “Satine,” which represents a soft and sophisticated image. The group will adopt HYBE’s T&D system designed to implement its “K-pop methodology.”

KATSEYE served as HYBE and Geffen Records’ first global girl group and achieved success on the international stage. Saint Satin builds upon that legacy under the same production team, aiming to make a strong impact in the global market. The group has begun intensive preparations with a goal of making its official debut in the second half of this year.
