ROWOON, who debuted with SF9 and has become a popular actor in K-Dramas, will host the first day of M COUNTDOWN at the Crypto.com Arena. On the second day, solo artist JEON SOMI, known for her hosting skills at the MAMA AWARDS, will take over as host. For a grand finale, Kim Soo Hyun, the K-Drama sensation and star of the global hit “Queen of Tears,” will host the final day of M COUNTDOWN.
KCON LA 2024, presented by Samsung Galaxy as the title sponsor, has evolved into a full-fledged “K-POP Fan & Artist Festival” this year with more opportunities for intimate connections between fans and artists. This year’s KCON LA will feature more stages, performances, and content. These hosts represent the best in K-Pop and K-content, enhancing KCON’s platform as a festival that transcends borders and generations with music and culture as a universal language.
Taking place across the Crypto.com Arena, LA Convention Center, and Gilbert Lindsay Plaza, KCON will offer a vibrant festival atmosphere with expanded multi-stages and various K-Pop content and programming. The four major stages at KCON LA 2024 are ‘M COUNTDOWN,’ ‘KCON STAGE,’ ‘MEET & GREET,’ and ‘SHOWCASE.’ The ‘KCON STAGE’ will allow fans to meet artists on a larger scale than ever before in the U.S., while the ‘SHOWCASE’ stage will introduce talented rookies who have not yet performed in the U.S., allowing them to meet a global audience. The ‘MEET & GREET’ stage will offer fans a closer, more personal meet-up experience with their favorite artists.
