Prelude: The Final Piece
Prelude: The Final Piece is the working identity for HYBE x Geffen's next multinational girl group, a four-member build designed to test whether the company can repeat the model that first produced KATSEYE. Before the live finale, the lineup already had three locked members: Emily, Lexie, and Samara. The last open spot was left to ABEMA's World Scout: The Final Piece, where finalists Ayana and Sakura battled for the final seat. That structure is why the project mattered beyond survival-show suspense. HYBE x Geffen Records used Prelude to test whether its cross-border trainee system could produce a second commercially coherent act instead of a single breakout story.

What is Prelude: The Final Piece?
Prelude: The Final Piece is the working project identity for HYBE x Geffen's next multinational girl group. The lineup already included Emily, Lexie, and Samara before the May 12 live finale narrowed the last spot to Ayana and Sakura, turning the rollout into a direct stress test of the joint venture's post-KATSEYE system.
Who are the confirmed members of Prelude before the finale?
Before the final member was chosen, the confirmed trio consisted of Emily from the United States, Lexie from Sweden, and Samara from Brazil. That fixed core gave HYBE x Geffen a clearly multinational base and let the live finale focus on who best completed the chemistry instead of rebuilding the project from scratch.
When does Prelude: The Final Piece choose its last member?
The final member is chosen during the May 12, 2026 live finale of World Scout: The Final Piece on ABEMA. That event structure matters because it lets HYBE x Geffen turn the selection into a real-time launch moment, not a delayed trainee update buried after the fact.
