KCON NY

Korean pop music, or K-pop, has blown up in recent years, with bands like BTS selling out shows instantly to throngs of screaming fans. NYC, of course, is in on the booming trend, hosting this two-day K-pop extravaganza at Madison Square Garden and the Javits Center. While BTS is not in the lineup, expect other big names like ATEEZ, Seventeen, EVERGLOW and IZ*ONE. In addition to the concerts, the weekend includes a convention with panels, workshops, meet and greets, and merchandise stands.
