KCON, which was canceled and postponed due to the new coronavirus infection, will be held as an "untact" performance.
According to many music industry officials, CJ Entertainment has confirmed that they are preparing for an online event.
While a definite date has not yet been set, it has been reported that they are coordinating with many production companies and performers with the goal of holding the event in June.
The online KCON is expected to somewhat soothe the thirst and lingering regrets of K-POP fans amidst the uncertainty of holding events due to the global spread of Corona 19. While the exact date, location, and method of performance have not yet been disclosed, agencies that have received proposals are reportedly considering appearing at KCON.
KCON, hosted by CJ Entertainment, is the world's largest K-culture convention and festival, introducing various lifestyle content such as K-POP concerts, dramas, fashion, beauty, food, and games to overseas audiences.
This year, events were planned for Tokyo in April, New York in June, Los Angeles in August, and Bangkok in September.
However, due to the impact of Corona 19, KCON Tokyo, scheduled for April, was postponed after its lineup was announced, and the New York event was canceled.
KCON 2020 Russia, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Korea-Russia diplomatic ties, was scheduled for July, but a postponement to September was also considered.
