KOZ Entertainment is gearing up to debut their first boy group!

The music label KOZ Entertainment, founded and headed by Block B member, rapper, and producer, Zico, announced their global auditions for 2022 on January 3 KST, stating that they are planning to form a boy group known as the "Kings of the Z Generation."

KOZ is searching for trainees born in the year 2000 or later, according to the announcement. Auditions will be held online through the end of January on the agency's official homepage. Trainee candidates can sing, rap, or dance to whatever music they like (including original songs). They also welcome trainees who want to work in production.

Big Hit Entertainment (now HYBE) purchased KOZ Entertainment, which was launched on January 11, 2019. The label currently houses Zico and Dwvn.

Zico, the founder and CEO of KOZ Entertainment, is the singer and producer behind 2020's hit and viral song "Any Song" which earned several "Perfect All-Kill" and received attention due to the easy-to-follow and fun dance challenge. Later that year, Zico released "Summer Hate" featuring Rain, which was followed by his enlistment in July 2020. He is expected to be discharged from his military duty this year, and has already hinted that he is working on a new song on his latest Instagram post.
