HYBE and Geffen Records have introduced Saint Satine, a new global girl group consisting of four members [1], [2].

The group represents the second major collaboration between the two music giants following the launch of Katseye. This expansion signals a strategic move to scale the global pop model by utilizing survival-style competition shows to build immediate fan engagement across international markets [1], [4].

Saint Satine made its official debut during the finale of "World Scout: The Final Piece," a survival show broadcast on the ABEMA streaming platform in Japan [2], [4]. The group delivered a live performance of the track "WE RIDE" to conclude the months-long competition [1], [2].

The group consists of Emily Kelavos, Lexie Levin, Samara Siqueira, and Tobi Sakura [1]. The final member of the quartet was revealed May 12, 2026 [1].

This launch follows the established blueprint of the HYBE x Geffen partnership, which blends K-pop training methodologies with Western music industry infrastructure. By hosting the finale on a Japanese platform, the companies targeted a key Asian market while maintaining the group's global identity [2], [4].

The formation of Saint Satine concludes the selection process for "World Scout: The Final Piece," which sought to identify a specific set of talents to fill the final vacancies in the lineup [1]. The group is now positioned to begin its promotional activities and recording schedule under the joint management of the two labels [1], [2].

The debut of Saint Satine indicates that HYBE and Geffen are moving from a single-group experiment with Katseye to a repeatable system for creating global pop acts. By leveraging the survival show format and Japanese streaming platforms, the partnership is attempting to institutionalize a cross-border talent pipeline that minimizes market risk through pre-existing audience investment.
