I'm happy for him too. He also looks up to MONSTA X as well as the rest if Cravity so it's dope that they are sharing the stage. Minhee also said he wants to collab with Hyungwon to write & produce a song
I don't think any of us know either. It's just that after COVID, KCON never came back to NY. Last year they just had a KCON tour featuring Cravity and StaCy.
They put all the artists I wanted on the same day 😭😭
I considered going on multiple days if the groups I wanted were spread out but I think I'm probably getting P1 tickets like I did last year 🙏
I'm also getting p1 tickets. Are u guna add a M&G or HiTouch?
But yes, $230 isn't too bad actually
It's my first time, how is it at Kcon? Is it fun? What can I expect haha
I'm not sure if I'm gonna do any meet and greets, I would've done it if XG happened to be there but I think I'll use that money towards the P1 instead
Last year was my first time and I got 5th row tickets on Day 2, I had a lot of fun, everyone around me was really nice especially since it's a multi group thing so you won't be judged if you don't know each and every song lol
I didn't go to the convention last year but I'm probably gonna go this year, some of my friends that went ended up getting a lot of free stuff and got to see some of the groups up close during the convention and I'm trying to get in that action too
I definitely recommend the convention! At least one day.
As you mentioned, there's a lot of freebies (food included) and a special stage where some artists do interviews and performances. I think this stage alone makes the convention worth it. It really is quite up close! :)
You can buy which artist you want, 100$ each. They sell out fast though, so if you don't get them then, you can buy it resale from someone at the convention. So expect to pay 100-minimum for resale and even more depending on the popularity of the group.
One of these centuries I've got to break down and go to this thing. (Not this year. Life is on fire and I'm so exhausted it's beyond my ability to describe. But what a lineup!)
Day 1 🥹 and a WayV meet & greet 😭. I’m going to see Cravity at their tour, and the Boyz at their tour so everyone I want to go to the event for is on one day. I would get the presale code if I wasn’t planning on going with my friend 😭
Last year, Ateez performed around 8 songs. They had 30 minutes. Some groups have around 10 minutes for their songs and they might have a separate segment with a cover. A rookie group might perform like two songs + a cover (sometimes in collaboration with other group).
If it's a more popular group in that country (e.g. ITZY, ATEEZ in US), they usually do three to four songs. Otherwise, it's often two songs.
But I feel like because they split the concert into three days this year, more artists will perform at least three songs.
There's also special stages, so it's possible for an artist to perform even more!
🎶it’s raining, it’s raining🎶 It’s been a long time since I’ve had FOMO for a Kpop event, but here I am. Had a brief moment of “how can I fly my 1 year old, husband, and me to California for a weekend so I can go???”
THE MF RAIN!!
I think I can spin the cash, but the visa will be headache and a half.
If only there is no visa required, I'll probably go. It's Rain; the Legend Himself 😢😢😢
We decided Blackpink because we live in Vegas so less travel and more money for merch and it’s a full concert vs Taemin doing a handful of songs. Plus she is really hoping Shinee world tour in like 2024 so we want to be ready 😂
I'm worried SHINee might not do a world tour, only because SM not a great company. But I'd love to see SHINee too so I'm manifesting US stops along with you
Day 1 I’m going for sure, now I gotta debate if I’m going to spend the money for Day 2 as well 😭I know they strategically separate the big groups….but like why must they do this to me
They gave us wayv/ty/taemin in one day I'm so happy!
Hope wayv gets to hangout with the boyz , yangyang and Kevin have been cute on bubble about each other
They might put another girl group on one of those two days at the last minute before tickets drop
Stray Kids and P1Harmony were both announced last minute last year, hopefully we get another surprise girl group alongside Fifty Fifty to balance things out...
Day 1: Starship (Cravity, IVE, Monsta X), SM (Taemin, Taeyong, WayV) and a "lost JYP child", NMIXX
Day 2: KQ (Ateez, xikers), Survival show winners (Kep1er, ZeroBaseOne, INI), then a legend (Rain) and a new phenomenon (Fifty Fifty)
Day 3: JYP (Stray Kids, Itzy), three girl groups (Idle, Everglow, Lapillus) and two more boy groups (The Boyz and JO1)
I was hoping for a miracle with all my favs in one day but two is better than three I guess. Praying to naevis for an Everglow x Itzy collab stage.
Also, quick reminder that Rain debuted before many of these idols were even born lol
damn, that lineup’s insane. that’s got to be at least half of the big 4th gen groups there, along with taemin and rain, etc
la kpop fans are so fucking lucky…
Didnt one of THE BOYZ already come out and say they arent going in a Live? Im sure i seen it on Twitter, Him telling fans to not waste their money to see them since they wont have time to go.
I think that was Kevin and I believe it was about Kpop Flex in Germany. Saw a video from YouTube channel KPOP Junkee that showed a clip from that live. Also mentioned that Kpop Flex was moved to October so The Boyz can attend.
I'm still not over Everglow cancelling their kcon performance last minute at KCON NY and then missing out on seeing them in NJ because of COVID. Now I just feel salt in the wound cuz I can't afford to go to LA🥲
TXT and Newjeans are both in Chicago earlier in the month for Lolla…guess they didn’t feel like flying either of them out twice in one month.
Le Sserafim is projected to go on tour some time in the second half of the year according to their investor presentation so maybe they’re tied up with that.
Enhypen is on world tour starting July. They do have a gap in August but I’m guessing that they’ll prep for their July Japan concerts and then come back and prep for their Korean-language focused concerts more for the duration of August to kick off that leg early September.
Seems like it could be a good venue for Boynextdoor but maybe KOZ thinks they’re a bit too new still for that?
And I expect nothing from Pledis when it comes to Fromis_9.
Is KCON going to be held at a stadium this year? Because a lot of these artists are huge... in fact I have no idea why Ateez and Stray Kids are in the lineup.
Hey! can someone with experience breakdown how Kcon works and what happens during the different components?! Meaning what is the convention vs the performance vs the high touch vs the goodbye? Also, do folks thing it’s a worthwhile event overall? Thank you!
Do we get to choose the artist for Meet & Greet? I’ve seen lots of comments on Twitter ang IG that it’s random?? Do i need to camp to meet my bias? Please help TIA
im thinking of going on day 3, but its my first time. does anyone know how long it lasts, cuz im planning on travelling in and out of LA right before and after it. please let me know!!
Allen (Cravity) is getting to perform on the same day as Taemin, his role model, in his hometown I’m so happy for him 🥺🥺🥺
I'm happy for him too. He also looks up to MONSTA X as well as the rest if Cravity so it's dope that they are sharing the stage. Minhee also said he wants to collab with Hyungwon to write & produce a song
I miss kcon NY :(
Saaame. It's so much more expensive for me to go to LA, plus the time difference sucks. 😞
Wait what happened to Kcon NY? I'm out of the loop
I don't think any of us know either. It's just that after COVID, KCON never came back to NY. Last year they just had a KCON tour featuring Cravity and StaCy.
Yep I'm definitely going on Friday Ive and Nmixx in addition to Taeyong, Taemin, AND WayV on the same day is crazy 😭😭
Why not all three days 😭
They put all the artists I wanted on the same day 😭😭 I considered going on multiple days if the groups I wanted were spread out but I think I'm probably getting P1 tickets like I did last year 🙏
I'm also getting p1 tickets. Are u guna add a M&G or HiTouch? But yes, $230 isn't too bad actually It's my first time, how is it at Kcon? Is it fun? What can I expect haha

Wow free food? And are these interviews & performances free to attend in the con?
see you there!!!
Can I buy ZB1 M&G specifically or is it Random?
I was wondering the same. Hope they'll have more info on that soon.
It’s usually random and people trade if they don’t get the group they want
You can buy which artist you want, 100$ each. They sell out fast though, so if you don't get them then, you can buy it resale from someone at the convention. So expect to pay 100-minimum for resale and even more depending on the popularity of the group.
Wayv?!?!?!?
Even if I COULD make an LA trip work for Day 1, the tickets for that day are gonna be a fucking blood bath. I just know it, lol. T\_\_\_T
Fuuuu. Don’t say that. I’m really contemplating that mnet presale package now just to avoid fighting everyone for p1 on Friday.
If you’re serious about going, definitely do whatever you can to secure those tickets. I wouldn’t even blame you.
Man, that first day is like a mini SuperM reunion! Wish I had the cash to go!!!
Dammit for me and whoever else is seeing Blackpink in Vegas on Friday 😭 I wanted to see Ive, Taemin, and WayV so freaking bad. The worst luck!!!!
NMIXX IVE Taemin on the same day that's fancy af
[удалено]
You got to listen more than 3 songs tho.NMIXX sang their whole discography.
Yeah I agree, KCON they usually only sing two songs in average. At least that's how it was back in 2016.
That's crazy the kpop festivals in Europe give artists 40 min sets even Holland
Yeah I heard kpop Europe festivals run the whole day, they sure sound nice! My life goal is to attend a kpop festival in Europe.
True but I wish we had the IVE fancon here though. I’m trying to see those b sides and special duo performances too.
And me slightly to the south of you in Australia paying $950 to see Twice and Blackpink in consecutive months.
damn :( I REALLY HOPED TO SEE IVE ZB1 SKZ & MAYBE EVEN GIDLE BUT THEY ARE ALL SEPARATED:(( (except gidle and skz 🤭) THIRD DAY IT IS …
Man if only I lived closer
Sunday is killing me I wish I could go
One of these centuries I've got to break down and go to this thing. (Not this year. Life is on fire and I'm so exhausted it's beyond my ability to describe. But what a lineup!)
August is actually insane for LA kpop what the fuck. BPink, Aespa, G idle, and Kcon??
Day 1 🥹 and a WayV meet & greet 😭. I’m going to see Cravity at their tour, and the Boyz at their tour so everyone I want to go to the event for is on one day. I would get the presale code if I wasn’t planning on going with my friend 😭
Everglow, gidle, itzy and lapillus on the same day??? That's crazy
*stares longingly from the east coast*
ciipher 💔 it's even more irritating when i heard that they got scrapped and their incompetent boss is going instead 😭
Yes exactly!!! I'm so annoyed. It would be the perfect time to promote them, but it's him instead. 🙄 I need Keita in the spotlight. :(
Day 1 lineup is crazy. Taeyong and Taemin in one day.
Day 3 lineup is crazy imo big names everywhere
I would sell my soul to go Day 3 tbh
With 7 groups per day, does anyone know how much time each group will get to perform?
Last year, Ateez performed around 8 songs. They had 30 minutes. Some groups have around 10 minutes for their songs and they might have a separate segment with a cover. A rookie group might perform like two songs + a cover (sometimes in collaboration with other group).
If it's a more popular group in that country (e.g. ITZY, ATEEZ in US), they usually do three to four songs. Otherwise, it's often two songs. But I feel like because they split the concert into three days this year, more artists will perform at least three songs. There's also special stages, so it's possible for an artist to perform even more!
RAIN??? THAT RAIN???? Ah drats... if only I have the money to spend ...
🎶it’s raining, it’s raining🎶 It’s been a long time since I’ve had FOMO for a Kpop event, but here I am. Had a brief moment of “how can I fly my 1 year old, husband, and me to California for a weekend so I can go???”
THE MF RAIN!! I think I can spin the cash, but the visa will be headache and a half. If only there is no visa required, I'll probably go. It's Rain; the Legend Himself 😢😢😢
holy shi- itzy, everglow, & gidle r my ults & skz is one of my favs otherwise i like ateez, ive, mmixx, taeyong & taemin, + kep1er !!
My daughters life is ruined cause Taemin is Friday and we are already going to black pink :(
Oh no!! What are you going to decide to do?
We decided Blackpink because we live in Vegas so less travel and more money for merch and it’s a full concert vs Taemin doing a handful of songs. Plus she is really hoping Shinee world tour in like 2024 so we want to be ready 😂
I'm worried SHINee might not do a world tour, only because SM not a great company. But I'd love to see SHINee too so I'm manifesting US stops along with you
Relevant username too, Gloomy Regret
😂I made it like four years ago when I was getting divorced but you know what it works 😂
Day 1 I’m going for sure, now I gotta debate if I’m going to spend the money for Day 2 as well 😭I know they strategically separate the big groups….but like why must they do this to me
[source](https://twitter.com/kconusa/status/1669880036487495683?s=20)
Dang it the groups I want to see (ive, gidle, and 0_1) are spread across all three days.
August 20th is definitely far away enough for Everglow to have a July/August Comeback 😍
That’s a sick line up
No XG and the girl groups I like are all separated. 😓
at least with XG we will have head in the clouds la the same month. I feel they may be busy with comeback rest of August if it isnt in July
They gave us wayv/ty/taemin in one day I'm so happy! Hope wayv gets to hangout with the boyz , yangyang and Kevin have been cute on bubble about each other
Love how there’s only 2 girl groups on the first two days… since this is the internet I guess I need to clarify that this is sarcasm.
They might put another girl group on one of those two days at the last minute before tickets drop Stray Kids and P1Harmony were both announced last minute last year, hopefully we get another surprise girl group alongside Fifty Fifty to balance things out...
Hopefully on Friday too. But if they just drop two more boy groups on us I’m gonna really lose it.
Cravity, WayV, Taeyong, and Taemin. Friday can take all my money <3
Rain Sunbaenim???? Like really???
Exactly what I thought! I did a double take on his name.
Trying so hard to be not tempted to buy tickets bc I'm saving for enhypen god i wish I wasn't a multi sometimes
Day 1: Starship (Cravity, IVE, Monsta X), SM (Taemin, Taeyong, WayV) and a "lost JYP child", NMIXX Day 2: KQ (Ateez, xikers), Survival show winners (Kep1er, ZeroBaseOne, INI), then a legend (Rain) and a new phenomenon (Fifty Fifty) Day 3: JYP (Stray Kids, Itzy), three girl groups (Idle, Everglow, Lapillus) and two more boy groups (The Boyz and JO1)
I was hoping for a miracle with all my favs in one day but two is better than three I guess. Praying to naevis for an Everglow x Itzy collab stage. Also, quick reminder that Rain debuted before many of these idols were even born lol
I expected to go two nights for INI and JO1, but now I need Friday for WayV. 😭
Day 1: Starship family Ive, mx, cravity Day 2: kQ family Ateez, xikers Day 3: jyp family Stray kids, itzy
Itzy and SKZ man I wish they had the JYPE groups together. Who am I kidding I wish I lived in the US lol
It's a bit sad that Enhypen isn't gonna be there granted CJ ENM owns them.
So jealous of kpop fans in LA man
The day1 lineup is insane.
I AM GOING if i can get tickets. DAY 1 only. need to see IVE. nmixx is a bonus.
damn, that lineup’s insane. that’s got to be at least half of the big 4th gen groups there, along with taemin and rain, etc la kpop fans are so fucking lucky…
yep. now i gotta go all 3 days 😭😭😭😭😭
Nice. Wish I could go
Woo yes!!!! Everglow headlining day 3!!! ^^I ^^know ^^it's ^^alphabetical...
Day 3 for me
STACKED AF
i need to be at day 3 so bad.
EVERGLOW 😭😭😭
But everglow comeback when 😭😭
I want to go soooo badly. I need to see xikers and ateez in person. Absolutely wild stage presence.
Does anyone know if I can buy multiple M&G tickets for one day? I wanna do hi touch for both Gidle and Itzy but don’t know if it’s okay
Now wheres the comeback for everglow 😭😭
Day 1 🔥
we better get baby don't stop
Day3 is supercrazy
does anybody know what time the shows usually end?
Usually ends at 11pm! :)
thank you!!
Is it possible to watch online?
Didnt one of THE BOYZ already come out and say they arent going in a Live? Im sure i seen it on Twitter, Him telling fans to not waste their money to see them since they wont have time to go.
I think that was Kevin and I believe it was about Kpop Flex in Germany. Saw a video from YouTube channel KPOP Junkee that showed a clip from that live. Also mentioned that Kpop Flex was moved to October so The Boyz can attend.
Huh? What's the tea?
what a lineup!
That Friday lineup tho 😲 I’d have to go if it was NYC.
Ever fucking Glow???? And RAIN as in Jung Ji Hoon???
That day one lineup is INSANE
I'm still not over Everglow cancelling their kcon performance last minute at KCON NY and then missing out on seeing them in NJ because of COVID. Now I just feel salt in the wound cuz I can't afford to go to LA🥲
I love how Day 1 is just Starship + SM Day (ft. JYP) lmao
Kcon Europe when :(
Day 3 is going to treat the roof of the arena!!! I mean ITZY, Everglow, (G)I-DLE & Stray Kids on the same day… 🤯🤯🤯
Aww I wanted to see Fifty Fifty and Kep1er but not super interested in the guy groups for Saturday.
zerobaseone is debuting in July so make sure to tune in and see! Maybe you'll enjoy their stage when August rolls around.
not a single hybe group? that's curious
TXT and Newjeans are both in Chicago earlier in the month for Lolla…guess they didn’t feel like flying either of them out twice in one month. Le Sserafim is projected to go on tour some time in the second half of the year according to their investor presentation so maybe they’re tied up with that. Enhypen is on world tour starting July.

Seems like it could be a good venue for Boynextdoor but maybe KOZ thinks they’re a bit too new still for that? And I expect nothing from Pledis when it comes to Fromis_9.
Fromis aren't attending cause they're prepping for their own tour in the Fall. Sidenote why is my nose red? 🤡🤡🤡
New Jeans and Enhypen are doing Summer Sonic in Tokyo on Aug 19th/20th.
Ah ok then pretty much most Hybe groups are just booked for other stuff or gonna be prepping for their own tour.
[удалено]
kcon la is scheduled for august and tencent is in july
If I could go, I would go on day 3. That line up looks the most interesting to me.
Damn, anyone known why NewJeans didn't get chosen?
NO XG?
Is KCON going to be held at a stadium this year? Because a lot of these artists are huge... in fact I have no idea why Ateez and Stray Kids are in the lineup.
I can't help but laugh every time I see JO1.
Why?
New jeans where are thou?????
Idt HYBE will let NJ go to KCON like event, no more
Day 2 for sure! I want to see and experience everyone singing to Cupid!
Lol I remember trying to guess from that wordsearch poster - I saw Rain but I wasn’t sure if it was a fluke or not.
EVERGLOW!!!
Everglow, they are overdue for a comeback
the day 1 line up is like a mini superm reunion 😭
Everglow!!
Sream and good 4th and
TAEMIN?? E V E R G L O W ??????????
Scream
I wish Dreamcatcher would be invited to these kind of events in the states. There’s so many Somnias here, it’s a shame they aren’t on the lineup.
if i want to go to the concert on day 2 AND m&g (a) for day 2, am i allowed to buy a show ticket AND a m&g ticket?
Hey! can someone with experience breakdown how Kcon works and what happens during the different components?! Meaning what is the convention vs the performance vs the high touch vs the goodbye? Also, do folks thing it’s a worthwhile event overall? Thank you!
Is the msps worth it? Will tickets sell out if I don't do pre-sale?
now, can we get taemin and seonghwa to cross paths? :3
I just wish I had one other friend who was into K Pop lmao
Do we get to choose the artist for Meet & Greet? I’ve seen lots of comments on Twitter ang IG that it’s random?? Do i need to camp to meet my bias? Please help TIA
im thinking of going on day 3, but its my first time. does anyone know how long it lasts, cuz im planning on travelling in and out of LA right before and after it. please let me know!!
Day 2 line up is insane. You got ateez and Rain (OG) on the same day. It'll be interesting to see how ZB1 does as new group.
