What is KCON?
"What is KCON, you ask? KCON is the first convention dedicated to “All Things Hallyu”. The convention was created so that fans could have the opportunity to interact with Korean entertainment and culture as a community. What makes KCON a wonderfully special event? It gives our fans the valuable experience of interacting with each other and established artists in a fun, personal fashion.
With over 20,000 fans in attendance, KCON 2013 was a landmark event that smashed all expectations. KCON 2014 is set to be even bigger than last year, bringing the fans even more stars, more panels, and more hi-touches! – more of everything that makes KCON the largest fan convention in North America for Korean pop culture and the yearly epicenter for All Things Hallyu.
Even after KCON, our social media platforms are a place where fans can get the latest Hallyu news and engage with each other. If you asked us, why we created KCON, we would say that we created it for the fans. It makes our heart boil over with happiness to see our Hallyu community grow. Our Sincere thanks to all of the fans, artists, and sponsors that make KCON the most special event year in and year out." (KCONUSA)
