KCON LA Is Back and Bigger Than Ever

KCON LA is back this summer to connect even more fans, artists, and industry professionals for an unforgettable weekend celebration of K-Pop and K-Culture. KCON is the world’s No.1 K-Culture festival, and the Los Angeles convention is their flagship event. This year it is poised to be the biggest and best KCON LA yet.

This year, KCON returns with an expanded, 3-day show experience with full scale, which also means an expanded and even more star-studded artist lineup. Show attendees will be able to enjoy a wide range of performances, including collaborative stages, fan-engaging events, and the return of the fan-favorite DREAM STAGE. 

This year's KCON LA will have more fan-engaging programs and upgraded panels and workshops involving more artists. The convention portion of the weekend will reflect 2023's theme, "BE A KCONer." The convention area will feature various "missions" to take attendees on a journey through the world of K-Culture. Fan favorite panels and workshops like DANCE ALL DAY will return better than ever with a space at the convention to film short-form videos of the choreography they learn in the workshops, allowing KCONers to enjoy KCON to the fullest.

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. As KCON continues to serve as a platform for K-Pop artists and new acts to meet their global fans, the showcase will bring the artists to their fans for sessions filled with closer-than-ever interactions.

KCON LA 2023 will be presented by Samsung Galaxy as the title sponsor, ensuring a richer and more exciting experience for K-Culture fans by showcasing brand experiential zones and various artist collaboration content.

K-Pop is one of the biggest and most talked-about trends in the U.S. music scene today, and for 11 years, KCON has been a driving force. Globally there were 7.8 billion K-Pop tweets in 2021, and today there are more than 200 million fans around the world. Plus, the K-Pop events market is a $8.1 billion industry as of 2021, and it is estimated to reach $20 billion by 2031.

KCON LA is returning to the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Area on August 18-20, 2023.
