Kim Namjoon! Kim Seokjin! Min Yoongi! Jung Hoseok! Park Jimin! Kim Taehyung! Jeon Jungkook! BTS!

It’s BTS’s 4th anniversary and ARMY all over the world are celebrating!

In true ARMY style there are so many fan projects to be seen. China have a BTS ad on YouTube and this incredible display in Time’s Square, New York City! Chilean ARMYs have had an epic anniversary party and here in the UK we have a billboard of our very own in central London!

What could the #OMY team be up to today? HMMM Korean food, the K-Pop World Festival, UK Regional auditions AND a K-POP concert to boot - EXID we see you! No prizes for guessing right! The London Korean Festival 2017 with Feel Korea is exactly what is needed on this glorious Saturday but what is it all about?

The London Korean Festival 2017 with Feel Korea heralds an official year-long cultural exchange between the UK and Korea, set to bring the best of Korean art to the UK. Korean cuisine, Korean martial arts demonstrations and drumming from TAGO, who performed sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2016, are among the attractions for families at the free day event, full of the sights, sounds and scents of Korean culture.

The wonderful people behind this event hail from The Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCC UK). KCC UK was opened by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in January 2008 in London with the aim of enhancing friendship, amity and understanding between Korea and the UK through cultural and educational activities.

Here at #OMY we also strongly encourage the cultural exchange and are very much looking forward to today. One thing in particular is of course the K-Pop World Festival, UK Regionals. At 2pm today would-be UK K-pop stars will compete for the opportunity to attend the festival in Korea as representatives of the UK.

While the daytime activities end at 5;30pm do not be disheartened as at 7pm doors open for a concert featuring four K-pop sensations, including Highlight (formerly known as Beast) and EXID an #OMY team favourite. At just £30 tickets are a steal!

Welcome to the annual KPOP World Festival!

This years’ audition may send you to the finals in Changwon!

You have a choice of 3 categories to show what you can do and a chance to make your dream come true! The KPOP World Festival has given rising stars the opportunity to compete with KPOP cover dancers and singers from all over the world since 2011. You could be sharing the stage with world-famous idols like as TWICE, BTS, Sistar and VIXX.

Annual auditions are being held in over 60 countries and only the best teams will be invited to Korea so they can immerse themselves in Korean culture and gain a deeper insight into the hidden world of their idols.
