I’ve been attending KCON LA since 2015, so with pandemic-closures in 2020 and 2021 that makes this year my eighth time at the event. Over the years, I’ve watched it change and grow in both good and bad ways, and those changes were certainly on display this year.

I wasn’t as excited about the artists this year, though there were a few I grew to love in the weeks leading up to the event. Below, I’ll recap the highlights and…

Starship Entertainment’s new girl group KiiiKiii debuted earlier this year, grabbing attention with a diverse set of promoted tracks. Their memey Debut Song didn’t work for me and I found follow-ups BTG and Groundwork a little too fitful to last on my playlist, but the generic pop of I Do Me enjoyed surprising longevity. Now, KiiiKiii are back in a pop realm with new single Dancing Alone, which takes its cues from the 80s. “K-pop + The 80s” has a long history filled with bangers, including one of the industry’s best albums of all-time.
