20 K-POP Dance Influencer Teams with Total 70 Million Followers to Perform on Global Stage in Hanam

Hanam City in Gyeonggi Province is emerging as a new hub for K-POP culture by hosting the “2025 Global K-POP Dance Challenge in Hanam” over three days from October 21 to 23. Organized by the Hanam Culture Foundation, this event features 20 world-class K-POP dance influencers who collectively have 70 million followers across the globe. The highlight of the festival, the “Dance Performance Concert,” will take place at 7:30 p.m. on the 23rd in the main theater of the Hanam Arts Center. Twenty influencers, including Ukraine’s “Ten Yujin” (with 23.16 million followers) and Australia’s “Hannah Kaye Balanay” (with 18.36 million followers), will compete in an impressive dance showcase. The concert, seating 750 people, sold out immediately on the first day tickets went on sale, demonstrating the strong interest from K-POP fans. Admission is free for anyone aged 5 and above. Prior to the main concert, large-scale stages will be set up throughout Hanam on the 21st and 22nd. Cover dance videos by these K-POP influencers will be filmed against the scenic waters of Misagyeongjeong Park, the serene natural environment of Dangjeongdeul, and the stunning view of Union Tower. K-pop cover dances represent one of the most powerful social media content types, enabling communication across nationalities and language barriers through the universal language of dance. Every gesture and step performed by the participants has the potential to become a new global “challenge” for fans worldwide. The concert closing the festival will feature witty hosting by broadcaster Christian Burgos, along with special performances by guests Lee Chan-jae and Ahn Gyeong-ja. Hanam City Mayor Lee Hyeon-jae stated, “This ‘Global K-POP Dance Challenge’ serves as a crucial starting point to showcase the successful vision for building a ‘K-culture complex’ to the world. Through this event, Hanam City aims to prove the infinite possibilities of K-culture and transform itself into South Korea’s first ‘global performance culture hub’ visited by people from all over the globe.” It is expected that the content created by these influencers will spread spontaneously through social media among millions of users, establishing Hanam as a new “holy land” for K-POP worldwide. Hanam City and the Hanam Culture Foundation plan to ensure this event does not remain a one-time occurrence but instead becomes a foundation for building a lasting global K-POP network.
