Here's Why You Shouldn't Miss KCON:TACT 2020 SUMMER, The K-Pop Fest Of The Season

The question is: Are you ready?



The start of lockdown and its unforeseeable end meant that many of us had to let go of plans that we preemptively made for 2020: vacations to new cities, a weekend away from daily responsibilities, seeing our favorite artists perform on stage. But with a bit of ingenuity, we’ve been able to make do. 


Reunions have shifted online, as have meetings, concerts and conference talks. So why not an entire K-Pop festival that spans seven days long? After all, this is why Globe partnered with Asia’s leading entertainment and lifestyle company CJ ENM’s KCON to bring you entertainment of epic proportions. But in case that didn’t tickle your curiosity enough, here are a few reason why you can’t miss KCON:TACT 2020 SUMMER, which we’re calling the K-Pop fest of the season—no matter where in the world you are:

Breaking down borders

Airports may be closed and flights may be limited, but KCON:TACT 2020 SUMMER is breaking down barriers by bringing K-Pop idols and their fans together with this global premier live show. We’re talking concerts to watch live performances, virtual meet and greets to interact with favorite K-Pop artists, influencer takeovers and other related executions. 


Ever wanted to see what it’s like backstage? This is your chance to see just that. 


24/7 content—literally 

With so much in store, this live stream is coming to us for a full seven days, kicking off on June 20 and finishing up on June 26. For a full week, KCON:TACT 2020 SUMMER will be jam packed with 7 daily concerts and K-lifestyle convention programs for 24 hours each day, featuring 33 of K-pop’s biggest names as well as chances for fans to interact directly with their favorite stars on stage.
