‘House of Girls’ Premieres with Fierce Untitled Artists Ready to Break Through

May 22, 2025

Get ready for a dopamine-packed ride with ENA’s latest music reality series, ‘House of Girls’, premiering on Friday, the 23rd at 11 PM KST. This 100-day journey showcases 10 untitled artists—rising stars from Korea’s indie music scene—as they compete through a series of challenges to release compilation tracks and ultimately transform into a power trio.

Serving as the ‘Artist Makers’ are industry veterans Kim Youn-ah, Yang Dong-geun (YDG), Shin Yong-jae, and Soyou, while the multi-talented Lee Yi-kyung steps in as the witty and grounded managing director and MC.

This fresh mix includes contestants Bamsaem, View, Seori, Xyion, Ara, Youngju, YooA, Yul, Giselle, and Kisec, promising to flood Gen Z’s playlists with original performances you won’t forget. From bold declarations like “We’re not here to make friends,” to intense mutual evaluations before even stepping on stage, the show sets the stage for cutthroat competition and inspiring growth.

Seori, who’s gained attention from BTS’ Jungkook, stands among this dynamic lineup, each artist pushing boundaries to prove they’re more than just untitled hopefuls.

The show doesn’t just highlight vocals. It dives deep—exploring each contestant’s songwriting, arranging, rapping, and stage performance talent. Raw beginnings and uncertain identities only magnify the surprises in store, especially as early mission stages already spark praise and tears alike from the mentoring panel.

In the first mission, a cover song challenge, the intensity reached new heights. Kim Youn-ah offered sharp critiques—commenting that some looked like they were “wearing the wrong outfit,” while Yang Dong-geun confessed he felt more nervous than the participants themselves. Shin Yong-jae and Soyou added dynamic and emotional feedback, moving both the artists and viewers.

Production teases unexpected collaborations with top-tier guest artists, ensuring that every week delivers replay-worthy performances and plot twists. Viral clips from pre-recordings have already stirred buzz across social media, hinting at the show’s potential to be Korea’s next pop culture staple.

Whether you’re here for hard truths, pure musicality, or just addictive personality clashes, ‘House of Girls’ promises to deliver a powerful blend of K-pop energy and underdog spirit every week.
