06Good to know
The entry fee is 4,500 HUF per person, including admission to Hungarian K-pop Day from 10:00 to 18:00; contestants do not need a separate visitor ticket. A regular visitor ticket does not replace the entry fee. Choose SOLO (1 fő) for a solo entry, or the GROUP product matching your final group size of 2–9 members. Each group receives one shared barcode. Pre-registration is free; paying the fee alone does not complete your application. Pay the entry fee (opens in a new tab).
No. Pre-registration only expresses interest; it is not a competition entry and does not reserve a place. Once applications open, you can apply without pre-registering; a ticket number and video will be required then. Your pre-registration details are not transferred to the application.
A group can have 2–9 members. A contestant may enter as a member of one group and separately as a solo performer. A contestant cannot enter with more than one group.
Before submitting your application, you can add or remove members within the 2–9 member limit and edit their details. A group pays the entry fee for all members through the GROUP product matching its size and receives one shared ticket number. Verification uses the number of members on the submitted list.
A selected group may change approximately 20% of its line-up before the final — for example, replacing 2 members in a group of 9. The 20% is a guideline; notify the organisers so they can discuss your particular situation with you.
Use the required checkbox on the application form, in accordance with section 10 of the competition rules. This does not replace the signed parental or legal guardian consent required for a contestant under 18.
When you apply, together with the video. Every contestant under 18 needs a separate signed parental or legal guardian consent form. For both Drive links, use “Anyone with the link” → “Viewer”. The organisers manually check the documents and video.
The organisers check ticket numbers once a day. Your application remains pending until it has been checked. If we cannot find your ticket number, this does not automatically mean your application has been rejected. An incorrect number can be corrected, and the organisers review any discrepancies.
The entry fee is 4,500 HUF per person, including admission to Hungarian K-pop Day from 10:00 to 18:00. You can express your interest by pre-registering or apply directly with your video and ticket number.
After successful pre-registration, we send a confirmation email with competition details and a link to the competition website. The email also includes the entry fee payment link; you do not need to pay to pre-register. After applying, you receive a separate acknowledgement that your entry is pending review, followed by another email when the organisers approve it. To request a change or correction, you must provide your application ID and the email address used for your application. Send both details with your request to hungariankpop@gmail.com. For corrections to pre-registration details, email hungariankpop@gmail.com from your contact email address. We send further event and ticket offers only if you opt in.
There is no age limit. Every contestant under 18 needs consent from a parent or legal guardian; in a group, each member under 18 needs a separate signed consent form.
Overall winners of previous competitions cannot enter again in the same category.
No. The professional jury decides the results of both the qualifier and the final.
You must perform the same song, music edit and choreography in the final as in the qualifier. You may only make minor adjustments to your stage formations.
Set sharing to “Anyone with the link” and “Viewer”, then check the link while signed out or in an incognito window. The jury must be able to open your recording without requesting access.
