In 2019, Angela worked with Global K Center to organize the biggest Kpop Bootcamp in the company’s history with 100 trainees flying in from all over Australia and Singapore to Seoul for a 10 days bootcamp at the famous Produce 101 filming site.
Due to Covid, Kpop bootcamp had to be put on hold and Angela Lee decided to devote her time in the setting up of a Kpop dance programme in Sydney, with the first dance class kicked off in October 2020. Seeing the need to provide a higher recognition to Kpop as a dance genre, Angela decided to develop a systematic Kpop dance programme for Sydney studio with certification from International Certification of Dance Studies.
