To prepare for the biggest K-pop concert this year, Hotlink has also introduced its KPOP ACADEMY, where five of the biggest K-pop fans in Malaysia will be chosen to become Hotlink’s very own ‘ambassador of K-pop’. The fans who are chosen to join the academy will be groomed and transformed into their favourite k-pop superstar, where they will be given singing and dancing lessons, a makeover to look like their K-pop idol and ultimately star in Hotlink’s K-pop music video. Their experiences in the academy will also be documented as part of a web series which will be released in June on Hotlink’s Youtube channel.

To become part of the K-pop Academy, fans need to submit a video of themselves to hotlinkred@maxis.com.my. In the video, fans are required to:

1.  Prove just how BIG of a K-pop fan they are!
2. Show their best dancing and singing skills
3. In Korean, share something about themselves
4. Participants must be within 18- - 35 years old. 

      The closing date for the submissions is 14 May.
