On June 15, 2025, the Korean Cultural Centre Canada and The Seoul Shinmun Daily co-hosted the 2025 K-Pop Cover Dance Festival at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary. This marked the first time the festival was held in Calgary. This year’s special guest, H1-KEY, lit up the stage with a special performance and also served as a guest judge for the event. A total of 11 top teams, who advanced from the online preliminary round, competed for the title of Canada's best K-Pop cover dance team. The finalists came from across Canada, including Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Saskatoon, Toronto, Waterloo, Ottawa, and Montreal. SolarV took 1st place, followed by ER:A Dance in 2nd, and SAVAGE UNICORNS in 3rd. As the national winner, SolarV will represent Canada at the 2025 K-Pop Cover Dance Festival Global Finals, scheduled to take place in Seoul this fall. It was a night filled with incredible performances and the shared joy of K-Pop. Congratulations to all the teams for their hard work and dedication.  ▲ Audience (Lobby) ▲ Audience  ▲GROUP PHOTO ▲ K-POP RANDOM PLAY DANCE TIME WITH ALL TEAM ▲ H1-KEY Special Stage ▲FourYou ▲C1PHER ▲DOMIN'O ▲SKDT ▲SolarV ▲LAVISH ▲0'Clock ▲With:Us ▲SAVAGE UNICORNS ▲ER:A Dance ▲HEARTBREAKERS ▲2025 KCDF WINNER SolarV ▲2025 KCDF 2ND PLACE ER:A Dance ▲2025 KCDF 3RD PLACE SAVAGE UNICORNS
