K-Pop Dreaming - KCON

There’s no better place to experience K-Pop fandom in all of its passion and glory than KCON. In the span of a decade, the annual fan convention has grown to a nationwide event drawing hundreds of thousands of fans.

Vivian and her childhood friends visit KCON held in downtown Los Angeles to witness the impact of the music firsthand.
