I ever await forwards to this solar daytime every twelvemonth because to me it’s similar an entire K-pop concert. We don’t larn to pick out existent K-pop concerts here, in addition to thus nosotros tin produce this competition, instead.
This year’s contest ended in addition to thus well. In the adult category, the grouping I rooted for, K-night Africa, won roofing the vocal “Without You” past times Romeo. In the pupil category, the grouping Crew 101 won past times roofing the BTS vocal “Not Today."
