Are you considering attending just to catch a glimpse of the hosts?
KCON USA, the prominent festival celebrating Korean culture and K-Pop, is set to return for its 2024 edition. The event, hosted by M Countdown of CJ ENM’s KCON, has been a staple in the United States since 2012, only taking hiatuses during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has since branched out globally. KCON USA is a haven for international K-Pop enthusiasts who look forward to performances by their favorite groups and artists. Yearly, the event attracts thousands of fans eager to experience live music and culture.
This year, however, the buzz is not solely about the musical performers but also the hosts of the event.
KCON LA is scheduled for July 26-28 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The debut announcement of the event’s artist lineup and hosts has sparked considerable excitement. The lineup includes notable artists like ZEROBASEONE, ENHYPEN, TWS, BIBI, BOYNEXTDOOR, P1Harmony, SHINee‘s Taemin, Jo Yuri, Kep1er, NMIXX, DRIPPIN, DXMON, and others.
The announcement revealed that the event hosts would be the accomplished former SF9 member and actor Rowoon, the beloved K-Pop soloist Jeon Somi, and the celebrated Queen of Tears actor Kim Soo Hyun, each hosting on a different day—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively. Previous years have seen individuals like IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, Stray Kids’ Bang Chan, Rain, Eric Nam, among others, taking up the hosting mantle.
The prospect of top-tier actor and Korea’s highest-paid K-Drama actor hosting a day at a K-Pop convention has taken netizens by surprise. Many fans are contemplating attendance exclusively for the hosts, with a particular prominence on Rowoon.
There’s some disappointment among the fans about the timing of the host announcement, as some have missed the initial ticketing window. The hope that Rowoon would be performing as well as hosting is a common sentiment.
Would you consider going to the event just for a chance to see the hosts?
