K-Pop fever grips Delhi at KCCI's All India K-Pop Contest 2025
Delhi wins big This year, Delhi had more to cheer for, with homegrown dance team 3plus4crew bagging the top spot in the dance category. Their electrifying performance of Korean boy band Seventeen's 2023 hit 'Super' sent the crowd into an all-out frenzy. Led by dancer Nitin Theo, the 13-member Delhi-based crew is a returning champion—they previously won the dance category in 2016. Their choice to perform a Seventeen track was personal, tied to both their journey as a dance crew and the boy band's own rags-to-riches story. 'Seventeen was a group with many struggles who came together and decided to pull through as a team. Their journey during those hard times inspired us to perform 'Super',' says Theo. Theo, a fan of both Seventeen and BTS, says he is often inspired by the choreographers behind the scenes. One name that stands out is Keone Madrid. 'We were introduced to BTS through Keone Madrid,' he shares. The winner of the vocal category was Shylee Preetam from Hyderabad, who delivered a soulful rendition of South Korean singer Ailee's 'U & I'. Marking the 15th year of the contest, Hwang Il Yong, director of Korean Cultural Centre India, said, 'The contest stands as a symbol of the deep cultural bond between Korea and India. The love for K-pop and Korean culture in India has constantly been growing and I wish the bond between our two countries goes on to become even stronger.'

The Chola Tigers by Amish to release on August 29
New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) Bestselling author Amish's upcoming book 'The Chola Tigers", the second installment in his Indic Chronicles, will hit the stands on August 29, announced publishing house Harper Collins India on Tuesday. The historical fiction, which builds on the world introduced in the author's 2020 bestseller 'Legend of Suheldev", is touted to be a 'thrilling historical saga of defiance, honour and redemption it celebrates the indomitable spirit of India". The book's cover was released by Tamil superstar Rajinikanth. ''The Chola Tigers' is an exhilarating story in which Emperor Rajendra Chola, the mightiest man of his era, orders a daring surgical strike on Ghazni in response to Sultan Mahmud's attack on the Somnath temple. 'This work of historical fiction is linked to my 2020 release 'Legend of Suheldev'. It is about a mission ordered by one of the greatest Tamilians ever, Emperor Rajendra Chola," Amish, author of 'Shiva Trilogy' and 'Ram Chandra Series', said in a statement. The plot unfolds around Mahmud of Ghazni's devastating attack on the revered Somnath temple, sparking response from the era's most powerful monarch, emperor Rajendra Chola as 'he summons a squad of defiant assassins to embark on a perilous quest and bring the fearsome enemy to his knees". According to the publisher, 'The Chola Tigers" explores the profound question: 'How far would you go to defend dharma and your country's honour?" 'The new novel is vintage Amish — a sweeping historical saga that is pacy, dramatic, simmering with political intrigue and personal vendetta, and heart-rending in its scenes of sacrifice and retribution. At its heart it masterfully explores the depths of human courage and resilience, and the indomitable spirit of a nation that refuses to be broken," said Poulomi Chatterjee, executive Publisher at HarperCollins India. Amish's previous books have sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into 21 languages.
