The Korea Beatbox Championship is the official national beatboxing competition of South Korea.
For other national championships see the National Championships page.
History[]
Korea Beatbox Championship started since 2007. In the past, it was conducted in a way that participants participated directly on site, but now, participants are selected through wildcards and then proceeded to the elimination, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. As an exception, from KBC2017 to KBC2022 also featured the round of 16. Also, in 2015, KBC was exceptionally held twice. Therefore, KBC2015 is divided into 1st Half and 2nd Half.

- It is confirmed that there was a beatbox championship held in December 29th, 2012, which was won by the well-known beatboxer and musician Big Marvel (known at the time as Lil Marvel) against the beatboxer Suya. However, this championship is not counted by Korea Beatbox since it was organized by BBOXKR, a different organization. Moreover, Big Marvel was evicted from KBC due to various controversies during its time as a YouTuber, so KBC2012 was treated as an unofficial competition.
