Have you got what it takes for the Korean Wave Contest?

Call yourself a K-pop fan? Then we bet you have some Kpop-influenced talent just waiting to be discovered.

Kick, kick: Can you flick that leg?

Here’s your chance to show Malaysia what you’ve got – the Korean Wave Contest organized by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO). If you can sexily flick your leg like SNSD or chest pump like the 2PM boys, come show us!

Pump, pump: Can you do the chest pump?

In conjunction with Korea Be Inspired Festival 2010 and Visit Korea Year 2010 – 2012, KTO is organizing a competition for all Malaysians and K-pop fans in Malaysia. You must be able to sing, dance or impersonate a Kpop star. (We know you've been doing it in the shower, now take it to the stage!)

Up for grabs are tour packages to South Korea, a cash prize of RM1,000 and gifts.

Come audition

Of course, we need to see what you’ve got first. KTO is looking for 8 finalists (whether teams or individuals) for this grand event.

Auditions will be held on April 17 at Korea Plaza (Ground Floor, Menara Hap Seng, Kuala Lumpur) from 2pm – 5pm.
