The unstoppable tide of the rising Korean Wave continues to find new shores around the world. Mexico has been one of the biggest recipients for this wave of pop culture, with a growing number of loyal K-fans.
On this occasion, the followers of Hallyu -- the growth in popularity of Korean pop music and TV shows in East Asia and elsewhere -- were pleasantly surprised with the realization of the first K-con convention, not only in Mexico, but also in all of Latin America. K-con Mexico 2017 made available to fans of K-pop and of Korean TV shows a large number of events, conferences, products and other attractions related to Korea, both ancient and current.
A large percentage of the fans is made up of young people who have discovered in Korea a country of their dreams, through soap operas and, of course, through pop music.
That is why the main event at this K-con convention consisted of groups and soloists of great popularity. Bands like Astro, Exid, NCT 127, Red Velvet, Infinite H, Monsta X, soloist Eric Nam and fan favorites BTS were all there. They met at the Arena Mexico on March 17 and 18 to remind us why K-pop is still the spearhead of Hallyu.
Just like Korean food, the main dish is usually delicious, but the side dishes are perfect complements. In addition to the main concerts, there were red carpet events and fan meet-and-greets. There were several guests invited for their outstanding work in spreading their knowledge about all things Korean all around the world. People like Nalu Latina Saram, JuNCurryAhn, JRE, among others, showed themselves opened and closed to their fans, who were counted by the hundreds of thousands.
Attendees were delighted by the variety of Korean products on display at the different stands. They didn't miss the opportunity to stock up on Korean makeup, snacks, cosmetics, clothes and all sorts of other accessories from their favorite East Asian country.
The artists expressed their great love for Mexico and their appreciation for the great affection they received from the thousands of Mexican fans who are now looking forward to the realization of K-con 2018. See you there~
