KCON 2017 LA: “So Your Kid is a K-Pop Fan” Panel

As you all know, KCON 2017 LA has come and gone. As far as most people are concerned, it was a brief moment in time that flooded social media timelines with all sorts of insanity and then it was over. 끝! That’s it. Move on, it’s over. Well, for me, it’s not quite over. At least not yet. I mean I still have adventures to chronicle, articles to write, photos to edit and panels to share. Because let’s be honest, when you experience a weekend as epic as the one that was KCON 2017 LA, you kind of have to re-live it as many times as you can.

With KCON 2017 LA mere days away, it’s hard not to wonder what it would be like to be part of the magic. After all, who doesn’t dream of being right there, mere inches from the Red Carpet, as some of Hallyu’s bright stars strut their stuff as the crowd roars and the flashes of a thousand cameras dance around them? It sounds like a dream but thanks to KCON.TV that dream can easily become a reality! Continue reading “KCON.TV Partners with MWAVE to Livestream KCON 2017 LA”

KCON 2017: Zombie’s Adventures in NY – Days 3-4

Once again, my inability to schedule a flight that didn’t leave at an ungodly hour made my last day in New York span 2 but that’s okay. Having run myself into complete exhaustion on Friday, I had no problem sleeping until 8 Saturday morning which meant I was more than ready to take on the 30+ hours of awesome that lay before me. All I had to do was jump out of bed and get crackin’. Which is exactly what I did. Continue reading “KCON 2017: Zombie’s Adventures in NY – Days 3-4”

TUESDAY’S TEASE: BOYFRIEND “Never End”

Okay, so I know it’s been about a zillion years since I last wrote one of these “Tease” posts. What can I say, I suck. Well, actually it’s more like summer is just super full of kids and cross-country trips and all sorts of other adventures and writing just kind of gets pushed aside because when you live in the frozen North, you kinda gotta make the most of your warm sunny days while they last! But that’s not really why I’m sat down at my computer today. I’m sitting here because Boyfriend is FINALLY making a comeback (in Korea, no less) and I’m so flipping excited about it I just couldn’t stop squealing! (For some odd reason, my kids just don’t get as excited over comebacks as I do… Weird.) Continue reading “TUESDAY’S TEASE: BOYFRIEND “Never End””

Tater Tot Music Talk: Monsta X x Millic

About a month ago, my amazing friend Young Ajummah and I were wandering around KCON NY, talking about this and that and as we were wandering around the Prudential Center in the sweltering heat, an idea came to us. We both realized that while we both shared a passion for Korean music, we had both chosen to focus our passion on more specific areas. Where Young Ajummah is pretty much an expert on all things R&B, hip hop and indie, I’m more of an idol group uhh… Continue reading “Tater Tot Music Talk: Monsta X x Millic”

Waking up super early Friday morning, to get ready for a day’s worth of KCON adventures, wasn’t a problem for me. Between the sirens blaring outside my window all night and the fact that I was just super freaking excited about all the KCON goodness waiting for me, I was up and ready to go in no time. Little did I know just how amazing this day’s adventure would actually be… Continue reading “KCON 2017: Zombie’s Adventures in NY – Day 2”
