[event]K-Pop World Festival-Tunisia Preliminary

I'll spare you my nag about my long absense and go strait to the point.

Some big news has, few days, been spread around the web in Tunisia and of course it is not up to the Tunisian community of KPOP fans to miss it. Me neither actually :-p

Anyway, the BIG news is nothing else than the Korean Band Lunafly (루나플라이)coming to Tunisia. 

So it is party time. 

Now let me tell some details about this event. 

1st of all, the news was introduced on Lunafly's facebook page.

•  [notice] LUNAFLY will participate in the "K-Pop Worl Festival-Tunisia" on 1st July.
•  [공지]루나플라이가 7월 1일 튀니지에서 열리는 "K-Pop World Festival-Tunisia Preliminary"에서 공연을 선보일 예정입니다 ^^ 튀니지 루키 여러분들 조금만 기다려주세요 ^^

As mentioned on the Facebook notice, Lunafly is comong to Tunisia in order to participate in the Tunisian preselection session of Participants in the "KPOP WORLD Festival 2013" that will take pace in Changwon City on October 20, 2013. 

In fact the 25th of April, the Ministry of foreign Affaires of the republic of Korea launched this event by calling overseas diplomatic missions and cultural centers of the Republic of Korea to hold regional preliminary competitions to select teams for their host countries, who will later take part in the final round in ROK.
