Los Angeles=) Correspondent Ok Chul = "He flew from East Princeton."
The subLi Na Benheijin, 20, who met in front of Los Angeles Downtown Staples Center, known as the United States of America's Lakers Home Court, said he came from Princeton three days ago, a state near New York City in the eastern United States.
I've been to Keicon New York City, but Keicon LA is the first. I've been so excited for days.
“I’ve been working part-time for months and selling my personal collection to the used market, and I’ve come all the way here for that kind of travel. It's time to get into the dance of SEventeen, Wanna One."
The student, Li Na, also opens Keicon in New York City, but the castle does not take up, so he crossed the continent.
From Princeton to Los Angeles, it is 2,800 miles (about 4,500 kilometers); it is nearly half the Seoul-La. distance (9,600 kilometers).
Other K-pop fan Cynthia, 22, said, "I needed a kind of financing (financing) for Keicon," he said. "As an original K-pop fan, that's a good investment."
"If you fall into K-pop full of energy, you can understand such spending," he laughed.
Cynthia was soon tearful when she heard about Shiny, who had some unfortunate news this year.
CJ ENM, who hosts Keicon LA, said, "93% of all visitors come from other cities, other states, except LA. The economic effect created during the Event, including the sale of K small and medium-sized enterprises, amounts to $ 20 million (22.6 billion won). "
The Landmark area in downtown Los Angeles, including the LACC and Staples Center, where "Keikon 2018 LA" was held from the 10th to the 12th, has all turned into a "K-pop holy place."
Staples Center and Convention Center were suffering from phosphoric acid three hours before the performance began.
At the convention site, K-pop cover dance and 11 team fan meetings added to the heat.
After a long line, the fan who received the autograph of the girl group Promis Nine from the idol school rushes to boast to his friends.
The cover dance, which is a World-class craze, is not enough in one place, and the stage is set up in five or six convention spaces.
K-pop fans, who were weak in cheering for K-Food Street, were hungry around.
Finally, the opening of the first day.
The gym is moving away as Momo Land makes the mood with 'BAAM' and 'spouting', which is enough for the host to ask for 'excessive support restraint'.
After the new faces 'Golden Child' and 'IN2IT' were staged, 'TWICE' appeared and there was a lot of trouble.
Teenage male fans woke up saying, "I can not bear it." The audience of the standing zone next to the stage was a high-five with TWICE members Ji Hyo, Tsuwi, Momo, Dahyun, and they were angry.
TWICE members who have re-entered the Keicon LA stage in two years have said, "The heat has gotten hotter."
K-pop Diva Ailee, from United States of America, appeared with the intro, 'I'm Back Home', and then grabbed the stage by raising all the audience from their seats
Wanna One, who was born through Mnet 'Produce 101' Season 2, was a 'monster newcomer' and made the finale on the first day. Since the project group has a deadline for the end of this year, local K-pop fans shouted "Warner ~ One" as if they did not want to leave a regret.
The first stage of Keicon, which first started in Irvine, south of Los Angeles in 2012, was 10,000 spectators.
Keicon, which has been in the Seven years, has expanded its horizons to 19 New York City, Japan Tokyo, the United Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi, Paris, Mexico City and Sydney, Australia.
The number of cumulative audiences before Keicon LA is estimated to be more than 90,000. The number of cumulative audiences will exceed 700,000.
The Keicon LA tickets (25,000 seats per day) were equal within an hour of the release.
The total number of Keicon LA visitors is added to both two-day concerts and convention visitors.
In Keicon LA, 19 teams including Ailee, Dynamic Duo, Crush, Momo Land, TWICE, Wanna One, Cheongha, PromisNine, June, New East W, Pentagon, InFact, and SEventeen performed.
"Keicon, which started with an Event of 10,000 spectators, has grown into the largest Korean Wave festival in World with the will and steady investment of the group's top executives," said CJ ENM's new music content unit manager, who oversees Keicon. "K Lifestyle has also become a hip and latest cultural genre among United States of America youth."
CJ, which received the LA City Council commendation last year, was selected as the winner of the Korea Society's Van Fleet Award for promoting Korean culture in United States of America.
Keicon will continue to open as 'KCON 2018 ThaiLand' at the ThaiLand Bangkok Impact Arena and the International Exhibition Hall for the first time in Southeast Asia from April 29 to 30, following Japan in April, New York City in June, and LA next month.
"I sell my collection to Alba. I want to go out of K-pop. I will invest this much." Over 700,000 cumulative audiences, World's largest Korean Wave festival.
