Nizi Project, an audition programme co-produced by Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Music Labels, and JYP Entertainment (JYP), is set for global release on March 6, 2020 at 19:00 (JST) when it will drop on YouTube.

Nizi Project was first announced by J.Y. Park at a press conference in February 2019. It is based on “GROBALIZATION BY LOCALIZATION,” one of the themes of J.Y. Park’s business vision JYP 2,0. The show aims to discover new talent for a girl group, train theme, and have them head out into the world.

Global auditions were held for Nizi Project from July to August last year in 10 places around the world including Japan, Hawaii, and LA. In September of the same year, 26 entrants were chosen from over 10,000. The chosen members gathered in Tokyo for a training camp that lasted 4 nights and 5 days. Nizi Project follows this training camp, covering the process the 26 short-listed applicants were put through. The show is available to watch on Hulu, but it’s heading to YouTube next month.

A compilation of the first four episodes will air on Hulu Kessaku Theatre in Japan on March 7, 2020 at 1:30 A.M.
