Girls Planet 2 Global Audition Application: Eligibility, Mnet Plus, and KCON Audition Dates

Applications for the Girls Planet 2 global audition opened on May 1, 2026 at 8:00 a.m., giving eligible applicants a route into Mnet’s planned 2027 girl group debut project. The key points to check first are the birth-date requirement, the online application channel, and whether an on-site KCON audition fits your location or travel plans.¹

Mnet Japan presents the project as “GIRLS PLANET 2,” a new 2027 large-scale girl group debut project from the production team associated with “Girls Planet 999,” “BOYS PLANET,” and “BOYS II PLANET.”² The available sources confirm worldwide online recruitment and KCON-linked local auditions, but they do not provide every operational detail, such as exact booth hours or a final online application deadline.

Girls Planet 2 Global Audition Application Essentials

The confirmed eligibility standard is broad. Applicants must have been born before January 1, 2013 and should be aiming to debut in a global girl group. The Korean announcement states that there are no restrictions by nationality or region of residence, and that individual trainees, agency trainees, and people with previous debut experience may apply.¹

Online applications are available through Mnet Plus. An English-language report republished by Yahoo News / Forbes states that the application service is provided in Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish, and that applicants must be able to travel overseas without restriction. The same report says the application period remains open until a later notice is announced.³

The production team’s stated concept is centered on participants from different backgrounds moving toward one shared dream. In the Korean announcement, the team said that girls who grew up in different places and run toward the same goal beyond language and background barriers “will shine more brightly than ever.”¹

KCON JAPAN 2026 and KCON LA 2026 On-Site Auditions

Girls Planet 2 recruitment is not limited to online application. CJ ENM Japan’s PR TIMES release states that on-site auditions will be held in connection with KCON JAPAN 2026 and KCON LA 2026.⁴

KCON JAPAN 2026 is scheduled for May 8 to May 10, 2026 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. During that period, Japan on-site application reception and auditions are planned, and the production team is expected to announce first-round results at the venue.⁴ Mnet Japan also states that KCON JAPAN will include on-site application reception and auditions, with first results announced locally.²

For applicants who can attend KCON JAPAN 2026, the on-site route may be useful because it combines application reception, audition activity, and first-round result handling during the event period. However, the provided sources do not state the exact daily audition hours, the booth location inside Makuhari Messe, or whether separate KCON event access conditions apply.

KCON LA 2026 is also listed as part of the audition plan. The PR TIMES / CJ ENM Japan material says North American on-site auditions will be conducted in August at KCON LA 2026.⁴ The available sources do not provide a specific LA venue, date range, or first-round result procedure for that event.

How to Read the Application Requirements

The safest way to approach the application is to separate confirmed requirements from details that are still pending. Confirmed requirements include the birth-date standard, the absence of stated nationality or residence-region limits, and the acceptance of individual trainees, agency trainees, and applicants with debut history.¹ The confirmed online channel is Mnet Plus, while language support has been reported as Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish.³

Applicants considering the KCON route should treat Japan and LA as separate local audition opportunities. KCON JAPAN 2026 has confirmed dates and venue details in the source material, while KCON LA 2026 is confirmed only at the broader level of an August North American on-site audition.⁴

The project also signals a wider recruitment direction than the previous “Girls Planet 999” structure. Mnet Japan notes that the earlier season focused on 99 participants from Korea, China, and Japan, while this season expands through worldwide online applications and local auditions.² In the English-language report, Kim Sinyoung is quoted as saying, “we felt it was the right time to expand beyond Asia,” and also that the team will discover participants more actively from North and Latin America.³
