The three-day KCON LA will be held at the Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles Convention Center, and Gilbert Lindsay Plaza in Los Angeles, California, in the US. The stages included in the festival are the M Countdown (where BINI is included as a pre-show performer), Showcase, Meet & Greet, and KCON Stage.

Some of the biggest names included in the Los Angeles leg of the festival are SHINee’s Taemin, Hyolyn, Enhypen and NCT 127, to name a few.

BINI, which debuted in June 2021, exploded in popularity after their hit song “Pantropiko” went viral two years later. They recently wrapped up their three-day “BINIverse” concert at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City and are currently embarking on their tour.
