After 3 days of celebrating K-Culture in Los Angeles at the largest fan festival in North America celebrating Korean culture and music, KCON LA 2023 – Presented by Samsung Galaxy, has officially came to a close.
A weekend packed full of convention/vendors, workshops, panels, meet & greets, and concerts every night (for the first time ever), KCON LA 2023 was definitely one to remember.
Convention/Vendors
Los Angeles Convention Center housed Food, Tech, Jewelry, Apparel, K-Beauty, K-Pop, and more (you name it), on the convention floor with well-known brands like Olive Young, Samsung, McDonalds, etc. to small/local businesses like Choice Music LA & many more, to specialty booths like KQ Entertainment to celebrate the companies 10th Anniversary featuring their artists ATEEZ and xikers.
Safe to say, there was something for everybody.
