Coronavirus concerns have moved the world’s largest K-culture convention online for KCON:TACT 2020 Summer that will feature dozens of K-pop artists and influencers for live performances, panels and more.
While K-pop fans have looked to the annual KCON festival as their Mecca for all things Korean-pop culture since 2012, coronavirus concerns have moved the world’s largest K-culture convention online.
KCON announced today, May 13, their newly created KCON:TACT 2020 Summer. The first-of-its-kind event aims to bring a similar concert and convention experience digitally to fans at home. For seven full days, KCON:TACT will bring live and pre-taped content including live performances from K-pop acts, behind-the-scenes content, meet-and-greet sessions, influencer-led panels, collaborations and more.
The technology around KCON:TACT is also set to be particularly impressive. In a press release, KCON shares that their digital festival will include around “30 artists and influencers who fans will be able to interact with via live video chats, live polls, and much more.” KCON:TACT is also said to be a “highly interactive” experience with live streams providing English subtitles and incorporating VR and AR technology. No artists or influencers have been announced so far.
