Dance quartet Ruff Neck'z pulled off a live music video on stage to clinch the grand prize.
The tides may be changing soon as the next wave of K-Pop stars may just be emerging from Malaysia. This was quite evident at the finals of the K-Pop Hitz Talent Show which was organised by the Korean Tourism Organisation (KTO) & Astro Hitz.TV, which saw a host of young hopefuls thrilling the attending audience with their vocal, dance, and a bit of acting skills thrown in, that came close to matching the Korean stars they were mimicking. The event which was held at the Bentley Music Auditorium in Mutiara Damansara yesterday evening, saw eight finalists and a wildcard entry, facing off against each other to win a 4 days 5 nights trip to Korea courtesy of KTO, in a grueling competition that presented the very vocal audience the perfect finale, which was filled with heaps of thrilling action, clever stagecraft, live action MTV style video drama, heaps of humour and a few highly entertaining bloopers, that had everyone in stitches, thanks to quick witted host and producer Jehan Miskin.
At the end of the two hour fun ride, it was popular street dance crew Ruff Neck'z who impressed the judges, made up of popular actress Sazzy Falak, top dance choreographer Pat Ibrahim, singer Vince Chong and KTO's Managing Director Yun JaeJin, enough, to walk away with the grand prize ahead of second placed dance crew EGS Monsters and third placed dance duo Jay-Son.
