YG Entertainment, home to K-pop stars Big Bang and Psy, announced Thursday it will launch a mobile game in which its entertainers will appear as characters.

In a joint-enterprise with game developer Hanbit Soft, YG will develop a mobile dancing game called “Audition,” in which the characters will wear the same costumes the stars have worn on stage in real life.

The first series of “Audition” hit South Korea in 2004. Over the years, it has grown a solid base of regular users.

The newest series of the game incorporating YG artists’ songs, images, and videos, will launch in the second half of 2015 and be exported overseas.

YG is a management company and is home to K-pop stars such as Big Bang, 2NE1, WINNER, and Psy.
