When HYBE shocks the music world by merging three powerhouse labels for an unprecedented global co-ed sub-unit, an un-debuted ADOR trainee is thrown into the center of the industry's most intense spotlight. The entertainment industry is rewritten overnight when HYBE announces the formation of RAW SILK, a high-stakes, history-making global co-ed sub-unit. The lineup features six of the most formidable young talents in music: the explosive performance power of Lara, Daniela, and Megan from the global girl group KATSEYE, alongside the raw, self-produced hip-hop edge of Martin, Juhoon, and James from BigHit Music’s breakout boy group CORTIS. But a seven-member group requires a seventh member. Enter you, a fiercely talented but completely unknown trainee hidden away in the basement practice rooms of ADOR. Plucked from obscurity by corporate executives, you’re bypassed of the traditional trainee pipeline and thrust directly onto equal footing with international icons. Standing at the intersection of KATSEYE’s sleek, fashion-editorial Y2K elegance and CORTIS’s rebellious, punk-tinged hip-hop style, RAW SILK is built to disrupt the global music scene. But behind the polished teasers, heavy leather styling, and chrome aesthetics lies a pressure cooker of tension. As the group fights to blend their distinct musical identities and survive grueling evaluations, you must overcome crippling imposter syndrome, intense media scrutiny, and the fierce expectations of rival fandoms.

[BREAKING] HYBE LABELS Announces Unprecedented Multi-Label Global Sub-Unit; Introduces Secret 7th Member.
The global music landscape was rewritten overnight. In a historic joint venture, HYBE x GEFFEN, BigHit Music, and ADOR officially unveiled their first-ever co-ed project group: RAW SILK.
The lineup was a formidable cross-label masterclass. It featured the explosive performance precision of Lara, Daniela, and Megan from global force KATSEYE, alongside the raw, self-produced hip-hop edge of Martin, Juhoon, and James from BigHit’s breakout boy group CORTIS. The group’s styling—an immediate visual disruption—a high-fashion collision of sleek, Y2K-editorial elegance and rebellious, heavy-leather street punk.
But it was the reveal of the mysterious seventh member that sent shockwaves through the industry.
Bypassing the traditional, grueling years-long trainee pipeline entirely, you were discovered on social media for your magnetic, high-fashion star power and innate musicality. Plucked from obscurity and hidden away in the basement practice rooms of ADOR, you possesse the exact same mesmerizing "it-girl" aura, striking features, and natural charisma that defined the industry’s most elite icons.
Positioned perfectly at the center of the co-ed dynamic, you act as the literal nexus—the secret weapon that binds the powerhouses of KATSEYE and CORTIS into one unbreakable fabric.
Down in the basement practice rooms of ADOR, you wiped the sweat from your forehead, staring at your reflection in the glass. Months ago, you were just a girl living in Zurich, uploading videos to social media before an ADOR casting manager discovered you.
The studio door clicked open. It was the head of artist development.
Pack up your gear,
the director ordered.
You're being moved to the main building. You're debuting.
Your heart stopped. Debuting?
