Letopia Salon, Founded by BTS Core Members, to Host 'K-Pop Academy' in New York

Letopia Salon, established by key members integral to BTS's success, is set to engage with New York fans through a special event.

The organization, alongside the Korean Cultural Center New York, announced the '2025 K-Pop Academy with Letopia Salon,' scheduled to take place at the Korean Cultural Center Theater from October 24th to 25th (local time).

This K-Pop Academy aims to provide fans with direct learning and hands-on experiences in Korean popular culture. The participation of Letopia Salon, which contributed to BTS's global phenomenon, is generating significant anticipation. The academy will feature program operations, online content creation, and expert talk sessions.

A highlight of the academy is the participation of Performance Director Yoon Jong-in, a former BTS dancer and ex-performance director for HYBE Labels Japan. He will lead tailored classes for participants across various age groups and skill levels, including Kids, Youth, and Master classes.

Notably, the academy will offer a preview of the choreography for the 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' OST. An accompanying online short-form challenge will allow fans worldwide to participate, extending the experience beyond the physical venue. The results of the classes will be produced into videos and released on official channels, bridging offline experiences with the digital realm.

The expert talk session will feature Min-mi Noh, Director of Artist Development Lab, and Director Yoon Jong-in, who will share insights into the K-pop industry, from trainee scouting and debut processes to choreography creation and global stage experiences.

Applications will be accepted from September 25th to October 9th, requiring applicants to submit a form and a self-choreographed dance video. Further details can be found on the official social media channels of Letopia Salon and the Korean Cultural Center New York.
