Hi! We are the osu!kpop community and we are happy to announce our first kpop mapping contest! Our goal is to promote kpop as well as discover new and talented mappers, as well as spread and share our love for the korean culture. All the information regarding organization, prizes and possible questions including the contest rules can be found below.
We are osu!kpop community, which is currently a relatively small Discord server where we, fellow kpop fans, gather to discuss various kpop news, events as well have a bit of a general chat with friends and talk about mapping various things. Long story short, we love kpop and we want to share the love with others as well as spread our love and get new kpop fans to join us along the way.
This, however, is quite hard to achieve as kpop is not often talked about and there is only a very small number of kpop songs being ranked these days. Therefore, we decided to run a kpop mapping contest. Our goals are simple, we love kpop and we want to share that love.
