KOZ Entertainment is officially searching for its next generation of artists. The label behind Zico and BOYNEXTDOOR announced the launch of the KOZ 2026 Audition Tour – Korea, signaling its first large-scale audition in nearly three years.

The upcoming tour follows KOZ's nationwide audition held in late 2022. This time, the company is once again focusing on discovering passionate talent ready to step onto the global stage.

Auditions will take place across five cities in Korea: Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, Busan, and Jeju. Applicants born between 2008 and 2016 are eligible to apply, regardless of nationality or gender.

Participants may audition in one category—vocal, rap, or dance—with performances limited to one minute. Both online and on-site applications are available. Online pre-registration runs from January 2 to February 5 through the official website, while walk-in registrations will be accepted on audition days at each location.

The tour kicks off on January 24 in Daejeon at the Daejeon Youth WeCan Center and continues nationwide for approximately two weeks.

More details about the KOZ 2026 Audition Tour can be found on the official KOZ Entertainment audition website and social media channels.
