Girls’ Generation has been confirmed as the first addition to the New York line-up for KCON 2015 presented by Toyota. I saw them last year in LA but I am not one to turn up my nose at being able to attend any Korean concert. I don’t know much about GG/SNSD but I will spend my time listening to some of their hits and try to figure out a bias (not Jessica, obviously).

If Girls’ Generation isn’t one of the groups you are interested in seeing in NY, not to worry because Additional artists are set to be announced during tonight’s #KCONLiveChat, which airs every Thursday at 5:30pm PT / 8:30pm ET leading up to the convention on KCON’s YouTube channel.

Now here is a little information on KCON in case you’ve been living under a rock these past few years.

KCON, the largest fan convention in North America dedicated to all aspects of Korean entertainment and beyond was just named by FUSE as one of the “22 Best Music Festivals of 2015” and will be expanding this year in Los Angeles from two to three days of convention to take place on July 31 — August 2.  Two of those days will consist of giant concerts at the Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles. In past years, the KCON stage has been graced by big-name artists such as G-Dragon, Missy Elliott, Girls Generation, EXO, BTS and so many more. Having grown every year in star power and attendance since its launch in 2012, KCON 2015 LA edition is set to be the biggest event yet.  One week later on August 8, will bring KCON to the New York metro area for the first time and will feature Girls’ Generation.

KCON is produced by CJ E&M, Asia’s leading content company and its global music channel Mnet, giving fans the ultimate Hallyu (a.k.a. the Korean Wave) experience.
