But Hey, What Exactly Is K-Pop?

For most of us, Psy¡¯s Gangnam style opened the doors to a quirky music genre K-Pop, short for Korean pop. However, it so much more than that one song. Vivid storytelling, dynamic self expression, better than runway fashion, topped with a splash of colour is what K-pop stands for.

What Makes Blackpink Stand Out?

Blackpink has a string of number-one hits to its name, and is certainly the next big thing in K-Pop. The band made a promising debut in 2016 with Boombayah. Further, they created history by becoming the first K-Pop girl band to perform at Coachella. Commendable, right?

And while most of us would've scratched our heads, wondering what to do this winter, Kia made the decision a whole lot simpler. So, participate in this contest by uploading your videos on Facebook or Instagram, buzz your friends who might be interested, and try your talent at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
