Production

In November 2019, Lionsgate acquired Seoul Girls, a K-pop comedy written by Rebel Wilson. Wilson was attached to star in and produce the film through her Camp Sugar banner, alongside Alison Owen and Debra Hayward of Monumental Pictures. The screenplay follows a Korean American high school student and her friends as they enter a global talent competition for the chance to open for the world’s biggest K-pop boy band.

In February 2020, Wilson said that her interest in K-pop reflected the Asian cultural influences she experienced growing up in Australia, which was also being considered as a filming location. She described Seoul Girls as a Pitch Perfect-style film about a diverse group of teenage girls, and said that her first screenplay aimed to expand opportunities and representation in terms of ethnicity, body type, and identity.

In 2025, Wilson was additionally attached as the director with Matt Williams of Future Artists Entertainment and Live Nation Entertainment joining in as a producer. Owen and Hayward dropped out. Wilson departed from the project’s original K-pop premise, reworking it into a broader pop-music comedy. The producers conducted a nationwide US search to cast the young performers playing the girl group Wilson's character would mentor.
