Selective Hearing’s Greg speaks to LST K-Pop’s Ping about his time at KCON LA 2024.

Introductions (Intro Song: BINI – Cherry on Top)

What was the main reason you decided to attend KCON 2024?

Lineup

• The lineup of KCON 2024 had a good mix of up-and-comers, established mid-tier acts on the cusp of breaking through to the next level and industry veterans. What did you think of this year’s lineup?
• Which act(s) were you most excited about seeing, and why were they our fellow Filipinos BINI and the virtual personality APOKI?
• Why was the I-LAND girl group MIA?

Ticketing

The ticketing structure for KCON 2024 offered several packages: three-day premium at $1024.65, three-day plus at $843.28 for P1, and $542.76 for P2. There were also one-day packages: plus level at $309.54 for P1 and $188.06 for P2, and regular one-day at $124.02.

These tiers offered access to the convention/festival grounds, KCON Stage, and M&G stage. How close you ended up being in these areas depended on how much you were willing to drain your bank account or credit card balance. The M&G was only included as a perk in the Premium level ticket. Everyone else had to pay $128.75 for one session of being quickly rushed past a table of idols to wave at them.

So, what are your thoughts on these packages? Did you end up getting a ticket at any of these levels?

KCON Experience

• How would you compare KCON 2024 to previous KCONs? What was it like attending as a regular visitor?
• You were once again admitted access as press. What was it like this year compared to previous years?
• Besides the regular level of access with the badge, did you experience any difficulties covering what you wanted?

Briefly describe your highlights or memorable moments on the convention floor/festival grounds.

• KCON STAGE
• Did you participate in the zoo monkey wave sessions? There was no plexiglass this year, right?
• Booths
• Panels

How were the M Countdown concerts?

Did you like the Dream Stages?

What are your thoughts on it being broadcast live on the CW network in the States?

What are your closing thoughts on the 2024 KCON experience?
