The event is being hosted by South Korean television station, SBS Broadcasting System Inc., JAU Entertainment Inc., and Zion Live Inc. Broadcasted on SBS, the SBS K-pop Super Concert will be documented as a historical event that displays all K-Pop fans on a global scale gathering together in honor of the emerging Korean Wave.
If I thought there was a chance some of these performers would come to Seattle, or Vancouver Canada, I wouldn’t risk it. Since it looks like California is as close as a Kpop concert is going to get to Seattle, I’ve gone ahead with the concert ticket purchase. Most of my favorite Kpop performers are represented.
