In particular, guide videos with experts of each genre and popular K-POP artists, MONSTA X, LOONA, Weki Meki and WEi, are provided, for the purpose of inducing K-Community to participate. There are also videos of K-POP artists learning these aspects of culture from different mentors, with Korea’s main scenery and landmarks as background.
Applicants will watch tutorial and guide videos and make their own challenge video no more than 90 seconds long, upload it on their social media, and submit the link using the application form provided in K-Community Festival’s official website. The application period is from July 5 to September 13, and the winning team will receive traditional clothing and other instruments for later performances as prize.
The winning teams will be announced at “K-Community Festival (Online)” on November 6. K-POP artists who took part in this challenge will introduce Korean traditional performances and will have interactive time with the winners.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
