According to a staff member at the Cultural Institute in Washington D.C., a total of 250 teams had submitted approximately 270 video clips featuring their ability to dance, sing and play instruments.  It has been reported that countless contestants were at the same level of talent as some of the top girl groups of Korea. The contest was announced through Facebook aimed at K-Pop fans.

There were many contestants who had submitted several video clips and others waited until the last minute to show off what they got. On the last day of the contest, more than a hundred new video clips were entered to be judged. A staff member at the Cultural Institute revealed that they were flooded with phone calls regarding the contest results.

Winners of the contest included contestants not only from the U.S. but from Canada, Mexico, Belgium, Spain, China, Romania and more. The first place went to the Rogers siblings. In their award winning video, Janey Rogers, the older sister, sings and Simon Rogers show off her dance moves to the songs "History" by Exo-K and "Lucifer" by SHINee.

They revealed that whenever their favorite K-Pop groups release a new song, they put it on repeat and practice singing and rapping. From all the practicing, their ability to sing along to their favorite K-Pop songs is mind-blowing and sound as though a native Korean speaker is singing the songs.
