This Monday, July 25th, JYP Entertainment, Republic Records, and Federal Films announced their joint venture: America2Korea (A2K). Their goal is to find the next global girl group!

"The name of this project is A2K, which is an abbreviation of America2Korea so the final artist that comes out of this procedure will be the first American artist made out of the K-pop system," says J.Y. Park (founder and chairman of JYP Entertainment).
