It's really amazing to see just how big K-Pop has grown over the years. I only wish it was as big when I was growing up...unfortunately it didn't become a global phenomenon until about around 2011. I've been going hard for K-Pop since 2001.

Every mention of BTS made my heart skip a beat haha ♥️♥️ just love how big kpop is growing :) I've been listening to kpop since I was 6, it's insane seeing how huge it's gotten!

melbourne!! kpop!! LOL i should audition (if only i could sing, dance, rap and had the beauty of a goddess. if only) ;)

Just saw myself... I look great.

yaasss so much feels!!! go Pepero!!!!!\^0^/

SONAMOO!!!! OH MAN I wish KBS would come to Brisbane

I liked pepero!!! go kara

omg I literally saw pepero two days ago, I feel special and proud for them knowing that they've achieved to reach this far

" i thought Taemin was a girl" hahahah

I was there at the Korean festival and got the rose the guy threw in the crowd hahaha

.OMG MY COUSIN IN AO DANCE CREW CRAPPPP IT MAKES ME FEEL SO WEIRD

i like pepero!!! their dance are amazing

What about the singing competitors? Because honestly how can you host a competition using the same criteria to judge both singing and dancing? And where are the legit judges that are deemed qualified to judge the performers in their field? Everyone brought their A game because this is a competition, but using such a system to host this competition is an insult to both the performers and Melbourne itself. I hope this gets rectified if there will be a future competition because at the moment you're just turning off future performers. Regards The Performers PS: "The judges didn't miss a thing!". Yeah they did, our fellow performers who already performed witnessed some of them walk out while our other friends are on stage. PPS: "The Kpop world festival in Melbourne will sure be remembered by many Kpop lovers!" for dodgy judging and biased group outlook. What an utter joke of an event. To performers in other countries, if this shit happens, we feel you. Much love from Melbourne.

OMG EVERYTIME I SEE OR HEAR BTS MY HEART SKIP A BEAT OMG! THEY ALL GAVE WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES. Cheers from Morocco!

I swear I got a heart attack every time BTS was mentioned and when the song a song came I died.

MY FACE POPS UP LIKE 5 TIMES OMG IM SCREAMING

Yeh if anyone was wondering, the events didn't go like this at all. All the placed teams got exclusive interviews at special locations before the actual competition (not fishy at all). And no one was suddenly worried about Pepero being a 'dark horse' LOL what stories, we were just enjoying the performances. The teams are all friends anyway and KBS is just spinning lies and hosting bogus competitions. There were so many other good groups and performers that they should have featured here too.

Yay Melbourne!! Sad I missed this. Oh well next year for sure

pepero you guys are amazing!!

How cool so there are heaps of kpop fans in Melbourne I guess most of them will be going to Bigbang concert next month

The amount of screening time is so unfair though? what about the other competitors that had less screen time than the audience?

pepero was AMAZING

OMG u danced to KARA! yaay its kaara

Am i the only one that screamed when BTS - Danger came up

AO CREW!!

Pepero deserved It Great Job u Guys

"erm i got into kpop first..2010" yeah okay no need to get defensive *shudders*

Does Cheri have their own youtube channel?

I can't even twirl

I cringe when she said Melbourne, I feel offended

ASDFGHJKL HOW DID I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS AO CREW OHMYGHUF I SHOULD'VE AUDITIONED MATE

This is a singing programme or dancing?

when was this helc?

wheres the sydney people?

why don 't adelaide have this?? wae?? WAEYO??!! >____

I don't know why but all the performances were so lackluster, the dancers didn't really hit the moves right and so they lost some of the effect. I can't say anything about the singers and rappers since we barely saw them.

does kbs really hate YG that much?

So, was it KBS employees that picked winners? Pepero??? Seriously? Over that AO Crew with the awecome choreography? Or did Pepero do something wild that wasn't included in the film?

plsss come visit morocco we have a lot of talents here please 😢
