BINI made “herstory” as they became the first P-pop group to grace the KCON LA 2024, a three-day concert and festival, in Los Angeles, California.

KCON is considered the world’s largest K-pop music festival taking place estimated to bring together some 160,000 people to southern California for the three-day festival featuring K-pop music artists, interspersed with an introduction to everything Korean.

BINI performed their latest single “Cherry on Top” at the “M Countdown” pre-show stage on Sunday, July 28 (Philippine time). They will also appear at the “Meet the Rising Stars: BINI” panel the day after, allowing fans to know more about the group.

FEATURED STORIES

Unfortunately, BINI’s leader Jhoanna was absent from the event due to “unanticipated health issues,” as announced by their management hours.

Clips of their performance were uploaded by streaming platform Blast TV and fans on social media.

After their performance, the members of BINI introduced themselves as an “eight-member group from the Philippines” while showing their love to Jhoanna.

“We’re actually an eight-member group but one of our members, our dear Jhoanna, is not here with us. She’s still in the Philippines, but we miss her,” Aiah said.

Unforgettable experience

Hours before their stage, the official X (formerly Twitter) page of BINI shared photos of the members posing by the Crpyto.com Arena, the venue where their pre-show performance took place.

“The eyy-citement is heatin’ up! BINI’s about to spice up the #KCONLA2024 stage w/ their sweet Cherry vibes,” the post read.

Colet and Sheena also uploaded videos of themselves cheering for K-pop boy group Enhypen on their respective Instagram Stories, which were reposted by fans.

Other attendees also shared glimpses of BINI enjoying their time at the event, with one @roses_myonlyone saying they watched NMIXX perform.

In an interview with INQUIRER.net, KCON LA moderator/emcee/panelist for programming Lai Frances said BINI was originally invited as a panelist for the event until they were chosen by the organizers to perform on the pre-show of the “M Countdown stage.”

Organized by CJ E&M, the annual KCON is considered one of the biggest K-pop events, which aims to expand the industry’s vast influence in different parts of the world.

Aside from LA, it will be held in Germany and Saudi Arabia within the year. Past legs were held in Hong Kong and Japan.

KCON LA 2024 was held in three venues, Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles Convention Center, and the Gilbert Lindsay Plaza. The three-day event included the “M Countdown” stage, Meet & Greet, Showcase, and KCON Stage.
