From May 10th (Fri) to May 12th (Sun), "KCON JAPAN 2024" will be held at Makuhari Messe and ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba Prefecture. Among the record-breaking 46 participating artists, details of the more diverse stages have been announced. CJ ENM revealed their determination to provide differentiated opportunities for artists and fans by showcasing more festival-like content on a historically large multi-stage scale, aiming for KCON to leap into a full-fledged "K-POP Fan & Artist Festival" this year. As part of this, "KCON JAPAN 2024" will feature six multi-stages of various sizes, with a total of 46 participating artists, making it a festival where fans can meet the most K-POP artists in history. The main show that has adorned KCON nights, "M COUNTDOWN STAGE," is scheduled to take place at ZOZO Marine Stadium on May 11th (Sat) and 12th (Sun). Not only the announced artists, but also special lineups such as ASTRO's Cha Eunwoo, group B.D.U. born from Mnet's "Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival," and the upcoming girl group IS:SUE, whose debut is still shrouded in mystery, will appear. © CJ ENM Co., Ltd, All Rights Reserved. The "Re-Meeted STAGE," where K-POP fans cover legendary songs known to all, is also attracting attention. In particular, the "Re-Meeted STAGE" received an explosive response at the previous "KCON HONG KONG 2024" and thrilled K-POP fans. This year, the biggest change at KCON will be the "KCON STAGE," which promises a rich lineup over three days. It is scheduled to take place at Makuhari Messe with a capacity of about 10,000 seats. The "KCON STAGE" received enthusiastic responses from the audience at the previous "KCON HONG KONG 2024" and was successfully held. Evolving into a multi-stage format, fans are expected to enjoy their favorite artists' stages on the timetable. In particular, they will be able to showcase recording songs, unit stages, and unique performances that were not shown on traditional stages, providing a special opportunity for the participating artists. At this year's "KCON STAGE," artists such as BOYNEXTDOOR, DXTEEN, INI, TWS, Kep1er, ME:I, NCT WISH, and JO1 are scheduled to showcase new performances. MEET & GREET, where fans can meet artists up close and communicate with them, has also undergone significant changes. MEET & GREET, which was previously conducted with paid tickets, will now be open to all spectators, further expanding the interaction between fans and artists. Purchasers of MEET & GREET premium tickets will receive special benefits such as exclusive areas for viewing the stage from the closest location and participation in artist farewell events. © CJ ENM Co., Ltd, All Rights Reserved. In addition, at Makuhari Messe, various opportunities for fans and artists to interact will be created over three days, providing a new way to enjoy KCON, which has transformed into a "K-POP Fan & Artist Festival." Various concept stages are planned, such as "SHOWCASE" to introduce new K-POP artists, "CONNECTING STAGE" where fans and artists spend time together with talks, games, and other content, and "DANCE ALL DAY" to directly showcase content themed around "DANCE," which fans could only see in videos. In addition to the multi-stages, various contents and programs that allow fans to enjoy K-POP in various ways are being prepared. These include exhibition spaces where fans can learn more about the charms of each artist, a "Fan Art Gallery" created by fans, and a "Food Lounge" designed with the concept of K-FOOD Yashijang (night market). Since its inception in the United States in 2012, KCON has been held for 12 years in 13 regions, including Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, with an offline audience of over 1.69 million people. "KCON JAPAN 2024" will be sponsored by SAMSUNG Galaxy and will be broadcast live through the KCON official YouTube channel and TVING.
