KCON USA enters its ninth year of bringing the ultimate Korean culture fan experience to the U.S. Since the festival’s inception in 2012, KCON has seen tremendous growth in attendance. Last year, KCON USA closed out the summer with over 158,000 attendees, breaking its previous attendance record. KCON LA expanded to four full days for the first time in 2019 as demand for tickets boomed. Over the years the star-studded concerts have featured a combination of the top names like BTS, MONSTA X, TWICE and rising stars. Last year, breakout acts included ATEEZ and ITZY.

Mnet, a leading global entertainment network part of CJ ENM, and the organizer of KCON, is expanding KCON into more cities to further its core goal of giving fans around the world more access to the best in K-pop music and Korean culture.
