Competing in the NCC
Represent your country in the world's best cosplay show!
Qualifying
Each participating nation has qualifier representative(s), selected by the NKC, tasked with finding and sending the best kpop dance troupe of their nation to the NKC. They may do so in any way they choose so long as the qualifying process maintains legitimacy in the eyes of the nation's own kpop community.
