Weekend in LA | DAY 0: A Foreword

8/17/2017

 
KCON LA is a three-day convention held between the Los Angeles Convention Centre and Staples Centre that celebrates “All Things Hallyu”. The event celebrates a broad selection of interests, ranging from Korean dramas (“K-Dramas”), traditional and modern Korean food, Korean pop music and pop culture (“K-Pop”), Korean Beauty (“K-Beauty”), and much more.
​
KCON also exists in other parts of the world such as Mexico, Japan, and France, with some executed as a joint effort between Mnet / CJ E&M. As one largely unfamiliar with the event(s)’ past happenings, further comments cannot be made on the basis of insufficient knowledge. Readers are encouraged to learn more about the event and its history on the official website.

​KCON LA 2017 comprised of two portions: Convention and Concert. The Convention included panels, gatherings of like-minded fans, and a range of special events, while the Concert spanned two nights and included a lineup of twelve artists/groups and two special guests.
With the promotions for KCON LA circulating social media, the artist lineup was revealed little by little as the convention date neared.

​As the K-Pop artists were announced, minimal attention was paid towards the girl groups and idols whose songs never made their way to personal social media feeds. SF9 was the first to pique any sort of interest, followed by ASTRO – both idol groups were strong contenders from the 2016 rookies, and it had been an unspoken mission to witness ASTRO perform live at some point in the future. However, the announcement of only two groups of interest was inadequate in establishing motivation to attend.

​The number of days shortened until the release of concert tickets, with only a few artists remained unrevealed. All thoughts of attending the event had been banished until a shocking revelation was made: GOT7 was added to the roster only two days before Combo tickets would be released. Moreover, they were noted to be performing on the same day as ASTRO and Wanna One.
IGOT7 is stamped on this very forehead. When one’s favourite group is added to the lineup, it’s almost a sin to stop oneself from hopping on the ticket bandwagon. GOT7’s appearance was the deciding factor in this situation.
