PETALING JAYA, 25 June 2023 – Sixteen dance crews across the peninsular met head-to-head at the K-pop Dance Cover Competition Grand Finale 2023 held at CITTA Mall. Over the past three weekends, three preliminary rounds took place at Ipoh Parade (11 June 2023), Klang Parade (18 June 2023) and CITTA Mall (24 June 2023), whereby the top 6 winners from each round converged on 25 June 2023 for the Grand Finale.At the Grand Finale, judged by Andy, Jing Han and Iylia who are all accomplished Malaysian K-pop dancers, MULAN, a team comprising of 6 female and 6 male dancers, claimed the Champion title by performing a riveting version of Oneus’ “Lit” and “No Diggity”. In an interesting plot twist, it was the female crew members who played the main parts, each one taking on a character from the boy band. They performed a highly energetic, and accurately punctuated performance, which included a flute solo and a dress change!
