Big Hit Music's hip-hop training program 'HIT IT BASE 2025', aimed at teenagers, successfully concluded.
The final 19 participants who completed six weeks of training took the stage at the 'HIT IT BASE 2025' final show held at Musinsa Garage in Mapo District, Seoul, on the 3rd. It was an opportunity to confirm the participants' potential and showcase the results of Big Hit Music's professional training to the public.
The event was hosted by comedian Son Min-soo, and singer Wonstein joined as a special guest, capturing attention. The participants were divided into four teams: 'Cosmic Swim,' 'Max Sun,' 'Swag Squad,' and 'HIB,' and performed on stage in a tournament format. The winning team, 'Cosmic Swim,' chosen by live voting, will feature in the introduction of the music video for the group song scheduled to be released in September and will have the first choice of parts. The group song will be a compilation of the songs performed by each team on the final stage, and all participants will grant.
Over the past six weeks, the participants received training directly from current hip-hop artists such as Max Daddy, Boo Hyun-seok, Choi Elbi, and Odi every weekend. They engaged in a comprehensive curriculum covering lyrics writing, stage direction, and performance. Prior to the final show, they also interacted with professional stylists for the use of costumes and accessories. The participants concluded the program after completing a high-level course and gaining practical stage experience.
Big Hit Music noted, "Through this 'HIT IT BASE 2025', we have once again confirmed new potential. We will continue to create an environment where teenagers can express their stories through music."
'HIT IT BASE' is a hip-hop project that Big Hit Music has been conducting since 2010. It was restructured into a training program for teenagers starting in 2021, shifting from its previous format of a rap tournament, showcasing Big Hit Music's interest and philosophy regarding hip-hop. 'HIT IT BASE' will continue to provide practical growth opportunities for teenagers who love music through diverse training processes and stages.
