*Justin Seagull* 31,298 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images BTS performs at KCON 2016 Day 2 at the Prudential Center on June 25, 2016 in Newark, N.J. Korean pop group BTS is set to perform at the first ever KCON festival held in Mexico City on March 17 and 18. The chart-topping band joins several other male vocal groups confirmed to take the stage, including Astro and MonstaX. Since their debut in 2013, the seven-member boy band has released two full-length albums and seven EPs in Korea. Their latest album Wings debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200 in October of 2016, setting a new U.S. record for the highest peak on the chart for a K-pop album. Mexico City will be KCON’s first Latin American stop. The fest, billed as "the world’s largest Korean culture and K-Pop music festival," launched in 2012 and already has editions in the U.S., France, Japan and United Arab Emirates. "Bringing the celebration to Mexico City is the next logical stop for KCON and we are looking forward to connecting fans in Mexico with unprecedented access to their K-pop idols, and engagement with other young people from the region," Angela Killoren, COO, CJ E&M America, said in a previous statement.

Your Bae 3,001 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Dammit I can't quote anymore because there are too many But tbh yeah, what's a KCON without BTS at this point. This is like, what, their 4th year in a row now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbleGumPop 14 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Why, they could hold their own concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield 3,824 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Why, they could hold their own concert two possibilities : either they are not sure to be big enough there to do their own concert or MNET doesn't think KCon would attract enough attendance if BTS has its own concert around the same time.

Jimin's GF 1,621 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 tbh at this point it's more like Kcon perform at BTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthonsale 3,332 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That's why I love them. They give so many people the possibility to see them live (when will Europe tho. You know that continent actually exists, bighit ) Does someone know if there will be a kcon in paris again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1 6,270 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Is it only BTS and Monsta X who have been confirmed? <p>two possibilities : either they are not sure to be big enough there to do their own concert or MNET doesn't think KCon would attract enough attendance if BTS has its own concert around the same time. Scatch out that first option. BTS have had solo concerts here before. One of their Tours included at least two cities in Mexico if I remember correctly.
