Pinoy dance crew among winners at K-Pop dance cover fest in Seoul

By Jonathan Hicap

Now in its 16th year, the 2026 K-Pop Cover Dance Festival featured over 100 participants from 13 countries.

During the final round, Meraki performed K-pop group TWICE’s “Ooh-Ahh” and “Heart Shaker.”

They were named winners alongside male cover dance group EXNITE from Indonesia, and K*Dear from Japan.

The judges were Choi Young Jun from Team Same, Nohwon from 1Million Amazon, Paperman from Lock’N’Lol Crew and Ryuo from Auspicious Crew.

Meraki earned the right to represent the Philippines in the KCDF World Final when they won the local round in June during the “Everyone’s KPop: KPop in Colors."

The world final in Seoul was hosted by The Seoul Shinmun Daily and sponsored by the Korean Cultural Center, Seoul Metropolitan Government, Korea Entertainment Producers Association, Federation of Korean Music Performers, Seoul Tourism Organization and Black Clover.
