Damian Bao Casting is collaborating with Mother Model Management to host a Midwest Open Call in St. Louis, MO on Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 12pm-5pm for a male model open call and the global talent search for the HYBE x Ryan Tedder Boy Group Project. Guys aged 13-23 of any ethnicity are welcome to attend the open call. We intend to discover fresh faces for the opportunity.

As previously announced by Billboard, HYBE has partnered with Grammy-winning producer and OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder to develop and form a new global boy group. This boy band initiative follows HYBE’s recent partnership with Geffen Records on the launch of the recently Grammy-nominated girl group KATSEYE, which was also trained under the HYBE artist development model.

WHEN: Saturday, March 28, 2026
from 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

WHERE: Mother Model Management
3147 Locust St, St. Louis, MO 63103
