KCON ADDS TOP DRAMA STARS TO THEIR LA 2015 LINEUP

 

Kim Soo Hyun KCON

North America’s largest event for “All Things Hallyu,” KCON USA, has just announced an impressive lineup of top actors from both Korean and U.S. television and film has been added to their Los Angeles lineup, alongside the many top K-Pop artists which have already been announced.

Living up to its mission to bring fans the most comprehensive celebration of all aspects of Korean entertainment, KCON 2015 USA has just confirmed stars Kim Soo Hyun, Daniel Henney, Son Ho Jun and Ki Hong Lee will be participating in the Los Angeles dates of the event.

Beyond the appearance of these actors, KCON 2015 USA will also further spotlight drama on Saturday and Sunday sessions titled, “All That K-Drama with KOCCA.” These sessions, sponsored and organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency, will feature two of Korea’s hottest creative talents behind the camera, star writer Park Ji Eun (Producer, My Love From The Star) and top television director, Jin Hyuk (Master’s Sun, Doctor Stranger).

With these latest additions, KCON 2015 USA becomes one of the most star-studded events of the summer, with more than 90 celebrities, involved in both drama and/or music, scheduled to appear. The three-day convention taking place at the Staples Center and Los Angeles Convention Center will feature performances by: AOA, Block B, GOT7, Monsta X, Red Velvet, Roy Kim, SHINHWA, SISTAR, Super Junior, Zion.T & CRUSH while the one-day convention in New York will feature performances by: AOA, Girls’ Generation, TEEN TOP, and VIXX.

Last year over 43,000 fans of Korean pop culture traveled from around the U.S. to solidify KCON as a summer Los Angeles staple. Once again, K-entertainment fans will flock to both LA and New York to experience unforgettable concerts, panels, workshops, food, fashion and more.

AN EPIK EVENING: Concert Photos of Epik High in Chicago

As is usually the case when I shoot a concert, I have far more pictures than I need and since I think it’s such a shame to have pics just sitting in a folder on my computer, not being used, I decided to put some of them here with the hopes that you’ll enjoy them just as much as I. So feel free to do just that. Save ’em, share ’em, do what makes you happy. It’s all good.

I hope you enjoy this second set of pictures as much as the first and I hope it brings back as many fond memories of this night spent with VIXX as it does for me. Enjoy!

WHEN A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS: VIXX IN CHICAGO (Part 1)

Group 1

Okay, so here’s the deal. I have tons of pictures from VIXX’s concert in Chicago that I will never be able to use because I just can’t write enough articles about them and the concert to warrant using over 1200 pictures, so rather than let them go to waste, just sitting on my computer, I’ve decided to just put them all up here and let you enjoy them as you will. Just so you know, I’ve only gotten through about half my pictures so there will be more coming in the near-ish future but I hate making you wait for them when I have all of these ready to go. So, enjoy these pics of VIXX in Chicago and if you want to know what it was like to actually be at this concert, you can read all about my experience here.
