Ipoh Parade K-Street Carnival is Back!

It’s the second half of 2018 already and Malaysians are still very much obsessed with Korean food, culture and tradition; basically, anything remotely Korean. That’s how strong the Korean Wave (Hallyu) is!

To douse (or feed) this fever, depending on how one looks at it, Ipoh Parade is hosting a carnival that spotlights Korean culture, to further introduce a variety of Korean-themed attractions and activities to the masses.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural Korean Carnival, this time, Ipoh Parade is working closely with Korean organisations: Shin Sun Mi, Gyeonggi MICE Bureau and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation.

This K-Street Carnival kicks off on 3rd July and wraps up on 8th July. Here is the schedule:

3rd – 8th July
10am – 10pm: Mini Korean Fair
10am – 10pm: Phototaking with Hanbok

6th – 8th July
10am – 10pm: Korean themed Arts & Crafts

7th July

8th July

2pm – 6pm: K-Pop Dance Cover Competition

Highlight of the carnival is, no doubt, the much anticipated K-Street K-Pop Dance Cover Competition! Jointly organised with Peanut Butter Studio and the Rejuvenate Dance Crew, the competition begins on 8th July, at 2pm.

Participants compete against one another in a battle that prioritises flawless mimicry of their favourite K-Pop groups. Therefore, points are given based on impersonation, recreation and emulation of a single, uninterrupted dance choreography by famous K-Pop groups.

Groove like K-Pop stars and stand a chance to win prizes worth over RM4,500. For entry forms and further information, log on to Ipoh Parade’s official Facebook Page.
