A jury, featuring producer Kim Seung-nam from YG Entertainment, will select 24 teams to advance to the next round based on submitted videos on May 2. Korean teams will compete on May 23, while foreign teams will compete the following day. The final competition, featuring 12 teams, will take place on May 25, with the winner determined by judgements from K-pop experts and audience voting results.
In conjunction with the expo, the Independence Hall of Korea will host special exhibitions focusing on Korea's independence movement against Japanese colonial rule (1910–45), as well as exchange exhibitions highlighting independence movements from other countries, such as Greece, Hungary, and Morocco.
Additionally, a conference on Korea's cultural industry will be held, centering on nine fields including K-food, K-beauty, and K-webtoon.
Cheonan Mayor Park Sang-don expressed anticipation for the event, noting last year's attendance of approximately 130,000 visitors. This year, organizers aim to present an even more diverse range of programs, activities, and food to showcase the charm of K-culture.
