KCON USA Presented by Toyota has announced their fifth line up for KCON 2017 Los Angeles, to be held on August 18 to 20!
DSP Media's co-ed group K.A.R.D has not even made their debut but their global popularity is irrefutable. Comprising J.Seph, B.M, Somin, and Jiwoo, K.A.R.D has only released three songs: "Oh NaNa", "Don't Recall", and "Rumor", but the group has already kickstarted on their first world tour Wild K.A.R.D in North America. The group has just revealed their first mini album's tracklist and will finally make their official debut on July 19 with title track "Hola Hola". KCON 2017 LA attendees can expect to watch them perform the new song live! Member B.M is likely to be the most excited performing on home ground since he is from Los Angeles, California.
The hottest and newest eleven-member group WANNA ONE has also confirmed their attendance prior to their official debut. Kpop fans will not be unfamiliar to this boy group as they were the final eleven who were voted through Mnet's survival show Produce 101 Season 2. Kang Daniel, Park Jihoon, Lee Daehwi, Kim Jaehwan, Ong Seongwoo, Park Woojin, Lai Kuanlin, Yoon Jisung, Hwang Min-yun, Bae Jinyoung, and Ha Sungwoon will embark on their 1.5-year journey together and make their first performance abroad in Los Angeles. Shortly a few days after debuting on August 7, WANNA ONE will make their grand appearance on the KCON stage, which is not a surprise for many since their seniors I.O.I had been invited to KCON last year in L.A and Paris.
Currently confirmed for KCON 2017 LA are Girl's Day, SF9, ASTRO, NCT 127, VIXX, Cosmic Girls, SEVENTEEN, and Heize. It is likely that there may be at least one more artist announcement next Thursday, before ticket sales commence. Combo ticket sales will start on July 14 at 10am PST and the full line-up will be revealed before then.
