H//PE Princess to Take the Stage in Japan Before Debut

Dong-A Ilbo is excited to highlight the burgeoning international career of H//PE Princess. This talented 7-member group, formed through the Mnet audition program 'Unpretty Rapstar: Hip Hop Princess,' is set to make waves in Japan even before their official debut. Their upcoming performance at the prestigious Rakuten Girls Award 2026 SPRING/SUMMER in Tokyo is a testament to their global potential and the significant interest they've already garnered. This opportunity on a major Japanese fashion and music platform, which attracts tens of thousands of attendees and extensive media coverage, is a crucial stepping stone. The group's backing by Chapter-I, a joint venture between CJ ENM and Hakuhodo, and co-management by Amoeba Culture, led by Dynamic Duo, further solidifies their promising trajectory. The recent global contract with Warner Music Group and the upcoming release of their first mini-album, '17.7,' on May 27th, signal a strong push into the international market. For us in Korea, H//PE Princess represents the new wave of K-pop and K-hip hop talent capable of conquering global stages, showcasing the industry's continued innovation and reach.
