Korean Cultural Centre India (KCCI) and LG Electronics are organizing the All India KPOP Contest 2023 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and India. Kohima hosted the regional round at the Heritage, Old DC Bungalow, Raj Bhawan, where 10 teams, including dance and vocal, participated with great energy and were cheered by K-fans.
The contest is held over six months with four rounds: online, regional, semi-finale, and grand finale. The online qualifiers round were held from April 26th to May 13th, with 11,071 teams participating from Pan India. The selected participants from online preliminaries will participate in the regional round to be held in 11 cities.
Hwang Il-Yong, director of Korean Cultural Centre India said, “K-pop is not just Korean pop song, but has become a medium to connect people around the world. There are many young people in India also who love K-pop and are talented in it. Commemorating 50 years of Korea-India diplomatic relations, we have wanted to create a platform where Indian youth who love Korea and K-pop could stand on stage, enjoy the show, and continue to pursue their dreams.”
