This year, a total of 105 video submissions were received for the performance segment. Out of these, 15 groups were selected to perform live yesterday at IUB's auditorium. The selected performers included Rudhin, HHSBD, Hridita Maitra, A-Maze, OMADA, Tahana Prionty, Rakuzan Klan, Knight Sisters, Lumen-I, Acu-Bi, Lazina Chowdhury, Lost Dynasty, Heaven's Law, Last Min8, and Renessus. During the event, five standout teams were awarded for their stage performances.

The winners from Bangladesh will be recommended to the organisers of the 2025 K-Pop World Festival, scheduled to be held in October in Changwon, South Korea. If chosen by the festival organisers, these finalists will be invited to compete in the grand event in Korea.
