FOURTEENthe project that aims to create the first Italian-European K-Pop girl band, starts from Naples: official castings open on 13 and 14 June 2026 in the Campania capital, the first stop on a selection tour that will cross Italy until the end of June.
The project is developed in collaboration with the RAI and has a declared great ambition: to bring the K-Pop language to Europe for the first time through a completely Italian production, but with an international outlook. To produce is Joy Production & Sustainability Srl.
What FOURTEEN looks for at castings
Production searches four girls between 13 and 22 years old who know how to sing and/or dance, with personality and the desire to get involved. The four selected will make up the girl band protagonist of the project.
However, the casting does not stop at the band. Selections are also open for co-stars of the TV series and for i male and female dancers from the official ballet company. Registration and info on fourteenplanet.com.
Casting dates throughout Italy
The selection tour visits three cities:
- Naples – 13 and 14 June 2026
- Milan – 20 and 21 June 2026
- Rome – 25 and 26 June 2026
- Final callback in Rome – 27 and 28 June 2026
Not just music: TV series on RAI and tours in 2027
FOURTEEN is more than a band. The industrial plan of the project includes a original album with related video clips, one TV series to be broadcast soon on RAI networks and a national live tour in 2027. A format halfway between record production, generalist fiction and transmedia marketing operation, built with Italian entertainment players.
What does “Italian-European K-Pop” mean?
K-Pop is a musical and production language born in South Korea with very precise rules: years of training for the girls before their debut, meticulous choreography, structured fandom system. Translating it into an Italian key, within a RAI schedule and with four girls found at castings in three weeks, is a significant productive gamble. The risk is that the “K-Pop” brand becomes just a positioning label.
The real issue, for those thinking of sending their CV, will be to understand the contractual details of the project: transfer of image rights, management of relationships with minors between 13 and 17 years of age, duration of the constraint and exclusivity clauses. At the moment the press release does not specify them and fourteenplanet.com will be the right place to read them before signing up.
The dream of going on stage, says the statement, “can become reality”. The idea of an Italian K-Pop girl band produced by public TV is interesting. The test will be the quality of the final musical product.
