Shillong: The Shillong auditions for Livon’s India’s Top K-Pop Stars saw a footfall of close to 100 die-hard K-Pop fans on Thursday.
St. Anthony’s College buzzed with excitement as enthusiasts prepped for their chance to impress Alobo Naga, AluneTetseo and KuveluTetseo — popular musicians and jury for the contest.
Livon’s India’s Top K-Pop Stars had kicked off its on-ground auditions in Guwahati on November 6, followed by Shillong and shortlisting of winners and mentoring sessions in Mumbai.
Participants lined up since the morning and one could see them practising their songs across the campus.
The enthusiastic crowd, including the other contestants, were singing and harmonising along with the singers on stage.
Styled their best, youngsters had travelled from other cities also to audition for the hunt for India’s first-ever All Girls Korean Pop (K-Pop) band. The chosen band of five Indian girls will get a chance to record their K-Pop music video and release it on-air with 9XO.
Open to all K-Pop enthusiasts in India, the talent hunt is aimed at finding and honing the best K-Pop talent from across the country.
Recognising a growing affinity for the genre in India, Livon is looking for India’s top K-Pop stars in partnership with international music channel 9XO.
The K-Pop genre has created one of the biggest waves in the global entertainment circuit and gained immense popularity with gen-Z across the world.
With K-pop stars becoming major global fashion influencers and shaping fashion trends worldwide, styling has become critical for any emerging talent in the genre.
