"I have wanted to form an international group based on K-pop methodology for a while," HYBE Chairman Bang Si-Hyuk said as reported by Billboard.

He continued: "To do this, I believed we needed a capable partner. When I met [Interscope Geffen A&M Records CEO John Janick], from the first moment, we both felt instantly that we had a connection, musically and creatively. I am very proud of the rich history we have made and the tremendous talent we have found. I am proud of the opportunities we have created within the K-Pop universe."

Meanwhile, John Janick remarked that teaming up with the HYBE chairman to form a global group will be a special moment for the music world.

"Since we began our partnership two years ago, Bang and I have often spoken about our shared beliefs in artist development, music and creativity. To develop a global group with Bang, with the best of K-pop methodology, and our Geffen team, is truly special and will bring to life a first-of-its kind experience in music," he remarked.
