With the strong admiration and following of K-Pop in the Philippines, the Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) successfully concluded the first-ever K-Pop Academy. The Academy, a groundbreaking event which ran from July 5 to August 2, culminated in a dazzling recital on August 3, showcasing the talent and hard work of its participants.
The K-Pop Academy featured a comprehensive program designed to immerse students in the vibrant world of K-Pop, with classes led by renowned mentors including AUSPICIOUS from Korea, P-pop girl group KAIA, and Ace Dance Studio’s esteemed Ciel Go. These industry experts provided invaluable insights and training, helping students hone their skills in dance, performance, and stage presence.
During the final recital, the BOY GROUP DANCE class delivered a high-energy performance of The Boyz’ “Thrill Ride,” while the GIRL GROUP DANCE class captivated the audience with their rendition of Twice’s “Yes or Yes.” Both performances demonstrated the dedication and progress of the students throughout the Academy.
“Congratulations once again, and we hope you continue to shine and pursue your dreams and goals with the same passion and determination that brought you here today,” said Kim Myeongjin, Director of the KCC during his opening remarks.
The KPOP Academy will return once again next year and the center is planning on making it an annual event.
