Parastar Entertainment has officially launched the BIG OCEAN Audition to recruit the 4th member. It marks the latest global initiative from Parastar Entertainment to expand the world’s first K-pop idol group made up of deaf and hard-of-hearing artists.
The audition is part of BIG OCEAN’s continued global growth and reflects Parastar Entertainment’s commitment to redefining accessibility and representation in mainstream pop music. Through the BIG OCEAN 4th member audition, artists are invited to join a group that centers Deaf identity, sign language, and visual performance as core elements of its artistry.
Who Is BIG OCEAN and Why Join the Audition?
More than an idol group, BIG OCEAN is a global platform where Deaf artists lead on their own terms. By challenging the idea that music must rely solely on sound, BIG OCEAN proves that rhythm can be seen, emotion can be signed, and performance can connect across cultures and borders.
The BIG OCEAN audition offers a rare opportunity to become part of this movement as the group’s 4th member.
As international attention around BIG OCEAN continues to grow, Parastar Entertainment invites Deaf and hard-of-hearing performers worldwide to step forward. Not just to debut, but to help shape the future of inclusive global entertainment through BIG OCEAN.
Why the BIG OCEAN Audition Matters
The BIG OCEAN audition is not a common recruitment process. Organized by Parastar Entertainment, it provides a global stage for Deaf and hard-of-hearing artists to train, perform, and grow as K-pop idols without being asked to adapt to hearing-centered standards.
Through the audition, selected applicants will join BIG OCEAN as the 4th member. Together, you will be performing internationally while embracing Deaf culture, sign language, and visual storytelling—core elements that define BIG OCEAN.
