Show attendees will be able to enjoy performances, collaborative stages, fan-engaging events, panels, workshops and the return of the Dream Stage, according to a release. The convention portion of the weekend will also reflect 2023’s theme, “BE A KCONer,” by featuring various “missions” to take attendees on a journey through the world of K-culture.
KCON LA 2023 will be presented by Samsung Galaxy as the title sponsor.
Additionally, after making its debut at KCON Japan 2023, “SHOWCASE: NICE TO MEET U” will come to KCON LA to showcase K-pop artists and new performances.
Last year, KCON 2022 Los Angeles reported more than 90,000 fans in attendance in its first in-person event since 2019 — a major hurdle to jump over as KCON celebrates 10 years in the SoCal area.
