The finale of Japanese survival show World Scout: The Final Piece, revealed 16-year-old Sakura as the fourth and final piece of the lineup. The group, known mainly as Prelude until now, will officially be called Saint Satine.
Saint Satine is a four-member multinational group formed under the HYBE x Geffen Records joint venture, which was established in 2021 with the stated goal of creating acts that, in the company’s own words, “transcend national, cultural, and artistic boundaries.” The group brings together Emily (20, USA), Lexie (21, Sweden), Samara (20, Brazil), and Sakura (16, Japan). Three of the four members — Emily, Lexie, and Samara — were first introduced to global audiences through reality show The Debut: Dream Academy (later immortalized in the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy) which documented the creation of HYBE x Geffen’s first group and drew 120,000 applicants from around the world.
