Audition for the biggest K-pop cover competition starts

The biggest annual talent search competition for Filipino K-pop performers and cover groups begins as Korean Cultural Center in the Philippines (KCC) launches the online auditions for the 2019 Pinoy K-pop Star.

The 2019 Pinoy K-pop Star is the Philippine finals for the Changwon K-pop World Festival in Korea. This competition will have two categories: the vocal category, a singing competition; and the performance category, which is both a singing and dancing competition.

Interested parties, preferably 18 years old and above, need to upload audition videos to YouTube and send them to the Korean Cultural Center on or before June 26. Former grand prize winners of the Pinoy K-pop Star competition who already represented the Philippines in Korea for the Changwon K-pop World Festival are no longer eligible to join the contest.

The announcement of finalists is on July 10. The grand finals will be held on July 27,  2019, Saturday at Samsung Hall, SM Aura, Taguig City.

The grand prize winners of these two categories will represent the country in the first round of semi-finals of the Changwon K-pop World Festival which will be held online. If the Philippine representatives qualify for the grand finals in Korea, they will fly to Korea to join the grand final competition on October 11.
