KBS Kpop World Festival London Finals 2014

HEY GUYS. Ranveer here, and I’ve mentioned this in our ‘Things We Like!’ video, but I’ll say it again: I. Love. K-pop. (Korean Pop) and yesterday, I went to the KBS Kpop World Festival London Finals at DSTRKT, with my two sisters, cousin and best friend (You may recognise her from the Hyper Japan vlog). ~ Well actually... It’s past midnight now, so the event was 2 days ago, but oh wellllllll, same thing!


We got to the venue at around 2:30 and so we made it just in time for the beginning of the competition. There were roughly 300 people in the club, cheering on the acts as they performed their covers of K-pop songs (singing or dancing). I won’t go into too much detail of each act because, to be honest, I will end up saying the same thing about them all, which is that they were amazing and so talented. 

In the end, there were two winners: one for dance and one for vocals, and the vocalist winner was a man named Jeffrey (I hope I spelt his name right, if not then I’m so sorry!!) and the dancing act that won was a group called prism, who performed an insanely amazing cover of BAP’s One shot. Loved it!


After, the winners and runner-ups were announced, it was time to set up the dance floor and well....DANCE, for the next two hours. The atmosphere was great and it was so much fun dancing along to some of my favourite Korean tracks with my friend. (My sister even joined in at one point...and she doesn’t really like dancing!) 

Please excuse our faces in these pics xD

Towards the end of the event, we decided to hop onto the stage and dance along with some other Kpop fans, until we got told off by the security for having too many people on the stage (Boo.) But it was totally worth it! :P We met some awesome people at the event and I will definitely be attending the KBS Kpop World Festival London Finals next year and who knows...Charlotte and I might even participate! But we can’t sing so dancing is our only option...and ummm you know how much of a flop we are when it comes to dance:


SO yeahhhh, we’re gonna need to step up our game if we want to take part. But we have a year. A lot can happen in a year. We just gotta make the most of our time and stay positive! I shall leave you with a picture of some cinnabons that we bought after the event. (2 for £1 wooooo)

They were so yummy! :')

I’ll talk to y’all very soon, but in the meantime, KEEP SMILING and STAY AWESOME :D xxx
