K-pop agency iNKODE will host global auditions to find new talent, it said Thursday.

Singer and actor Kim Jae-joong founded the agency in May. iNKODE released a poster on Wednesday, announcing auditions will kick off in Manila, the Philippines.

Hopefuls can apply to the “iNKODE 2023 On-line Audition” by first trying out via the vocal analysis app Tunegem. The first round is open until Saturday through Tunegem, and those who pass will be invited to audition in Manila on July 27. Walk-ins will also be accepted at the Manila audition.

Kim will attend the second round and meet talents to discover new K-pop talent.

iNKODE recently signed an exclusive contract with child actor Oh Ji-yul, best known for portraying the antagonist Yeon-jin’s daughter in the hit Netflix series “The Glory.”
