The Gurin Company has partnered with US-based K-pop firm Titan Content to create a slate of new projects.

The first to be announced is 10-episode talent show format K-Pop Dreams (working title), which aims to uncover new stars hailing from cities across the US.

It will offer viewers “unparalleled insights” from the discovery process, through to the group’s debut show.

The deal between The Gurin Company and Titan Content – launched by Nikki Semin Han – has been packaged through United Talent Agency (UTA) and will see the two companies collaborate on the show.

The Gurin Company will produce the series and TGC Global Entertainment (TGC GE) – Gurin’s year-old international distribution company – will represent the finished show and format on the global market.

Semin Han was previously CEO of SM Entertainment, which represented Korean acts including BoA, Girls’ Generation, EXO and Super Junior.

He said: “This collaboration is not simply a talent search, it is about showing the audience the real K-Pop as a lifestyle, and how we work together to make the dreams of numerous future K-Pop star wannabes come true in a way never seen before.”

Phil Gurin, president and CEO of The Gurin Company and TGC GE, said: “Nikki is genuinely a titan of K-Pop, but his vision goes far beyond nurturing new US-based music talent. He wants to spark a global K-revolution and part of that entails creating television concepts that bridge the gap between East and West, as well as the gap between traditional technology and futuristic innovation.”
