Australia woke up to the news that EXO will be attending the inaugural KCON Australia as the headlining act for Day 1 (22 September 2017)!!

Official statement from CJ E&M Entertainment

Rated by many as the hottest K-pop band in 2017, EXO has sold over 3 million units since bursting on to the scene in 2012. The band’s third album ‘EX’ACT’ with title songs ‘Lucky One’ and ‘Monster’ was last year ranked #1 on the Billboard World Digital Songs charts.

The confirmation of EXO completes the sensational KCON 2017 AUSTRALIA line-up along with Cosmic Girls, Girls’ Day, MONSTA X, PENTAGON, SF9, UP10TION, VICTON and Wanna One.

The spectacular event on 22 and 23 September will showcase everything about Korean culture and lifestyle including K-fashion, K-beauty, K-food, K-dance, K-drama by day, and then unleash the exhilarating high-energy sights and sounds of top K-pop artists by night.

Shin Hyung Kwan, President of CJ E&M Music Contents Business Division, in charge of KCON said: “KCON has become one of the world’s biggest cultural conventions attracting over 460,000 fans worldwide. As its first time meeting Australian fans, we are driving ourselves to launch amazing festival to satisfy the expectations of Australian fans.”

“We assure K-pop fans that the two-day event will bring excitement and enjoyment from KCON’s unique offerings – workshops, panels, exhibitor booths, experiences of diverse Korean culture from food to fashion during the day and concerts at night – all in one place.”

KCON, the world’s largest Korean pop culture convention and music festival, is coming to Australia for the first time. In recognition of KCON Australia 2017’s international stature, the NSW Government’s event and tourism agency Destination NSW is today announced as a strategic partner.
