At KCON, fans from around the world dance with their favorite K-pop idols — and each other
On Friday, the Los Angeles Convention Center was a sea of green. The convention center was home to L.A.'s 12th annual KCON, a Korean music festival that ran from Friday to Sunday. While the three-day convention began in 2012 as a celebration of K-pop, its programming has expanded to feature panels with K-drama actors, skincare booths and Webtoons, or Korean digital comics. Each day of the convention culminates in a concert at the Arena. On Friday, the concert closed with an act by K-pop boy group NCT 127, whose signature color is lime green (or, to get specific, 'Pearl Neo Champagne'). At both the convention and the show, fans of the group showed their support by sporting green clothing, accessories, bags and banners. For many, KCON offers a unique opportunity for fans to get up close with their favorite idols. One of the event's marquee performances is the Dream Stage, where a few lucky winners were selected to dance onstage with a K-pop group during the mainstage show. 24-year-old Jaelyn Jones flew to L.A. from Virginia to audition for Friday's Dream Stage. Arriving in a lime green T-shirt and matching bandana, she's one of dozens of applicants vying to perform NCT 127's 'Fact Check' on the KCON stage. 'I'm so proud of everybody here,' Jones says. 'Everybody worked so hard, so I'm really excited for the day.' After receiving the email that she had passed the online round of auditions, Jones put her all into perfecting the dance. A member of the dance crews District Soul and Konnect DMV, she studied videos of NCT 127, learning their style but also adding her own flair to the choreography. 'I'll work a full 9 to 6 or something, and I'll still come home and just keep practicing,' Jones says. 'I was very dedicated to this.' The success of KCON, which has attracted 2.1 million in-person concertgoers over its 12 years of operation, signifies a growing international audience for Korean pop culture. Since its beginning, the festival has expanded to 10 countries including Japan, Saudi Arabia and Germany, as interest in Korean culture has spread globally in what has become known as the hallyu wave. Park Chan Uk, the head of live entertainment business at KCON organizer CJ ENM, points to the popularity of K-pop groups like BTS, Blackpink and Stray Kids as contributing to Korean culture's international appeal. But Park also cites the global reach of Korean movies and TV shows such as 'Squid Game' and 'KPop Demon Hunters,' as well as Korean beauty products. Indeed, KCON's primary sponsor this year is the Korean cosmetics chain Olive Young. Park says that all these different avenues, from music to skincare, have turned the overseas perception of Korean culture into 'a very promising lifestyle that appeals to the global audience.' K-pop's international reach was evident in this year's KCON lineup, which included Full Circle Boys, an American boy group that takes influence from K-pop. The group was created by choreographer Keone Madrid, who is behind several of K-pop's most famous dances, including Jungkook of BTS's 'Standing Next to You.' 'There are all these amazing groups in Korea,' Madrid says about what inspired him to form the group. 'Why isn't there a group at home for us to work with that will lean into dance as much as these Korean groups do, but also put that American spin on it?' Aidan Talingting from San Diego, Calif., decided to come to KCON because several of his favorite groups were performing. But for him and many others, going to the convention had a second purpose: to meet and spend time with other K-pop fans. Talingting traveled to KCON with friends Anitza Cerna and Dahrla Silva, both of whom hail from Tijuana, Mexico. 'We got to meet a lot of new people,' Talingting says. 'It's been a great experience making friends and seeing your favorite artists. I really love it because it brings everyone together like a family.' Talingting and Silva, who attended the same high school, met Cerna at a concert in 2023. She approached the two after overhearing them talk about K-pop. For many fans, their shared love of Korean music provides an avenue for forming lasting friendships. One such friendship was evident at KCON's X Stage, where rookie boy group Newbeat performed to a cheering audience. In the middle of the crowd was a group of a dozen or so enthusiastic fans, many of whom were wearing personalized Newbeat jerseys. Though a large number of fans may have interacted with each other online, KCON was their first time seeing each other in person. One fan, who goes by Ash online, first saw the group at last year's KCON and was instantly a fan. Benji, who is based in Boston, became a fan when her K-pop dance crew collaborated with the group. Many of them have supported Newbeat since — or even before — their official debut in March. 'We're here to wholeheartedly support Newbeat, literally from beginning of the day to end of the day,' says a fan named Olive. While Newbeat is a lesser-known act, performing only at the convention and as an opening act for Sunday's main concert, the fans' enthusiasm is anything but small. They waved signs with the members' names and pass out homemade pamphlets about Newbeat to convention-goers. They gushed about the group's multiple performances on the convention floor, which included the premiere of their new song 'Cappuccino' and a cover of Katseye's 'Gnarly.' When asked what made them decide to come to KCON together, they all say in unison: 'Group chat!' The fans, who met on X, are an example of how K-pop and its fandom — particularly overseas fans who can't travel to see their idols live — leans heavily on the internet. They cast online votes for Newbeat on music shows, attend video fan calls and communicate with the members using Plus Chat, an app that lets fans and idols message each other. But they also made a group chat to discuss the possibility of seeing Newbeat — and each other — in person at KCON. Several traveled across the country to make their plans a reality, sometimes taking multiple flights. 'As they say, the plans made it out of the group chat,' Olive says. In the few days since meeting in person for the first time, the group has quickly bonded, sharing inside jokes and talking over each other like longtime best friends. 'It's literally been nonstop talking, laughing — it certainly feels like we've known each other for months,' Olive says. 'We get along very well because we're so passionate about the same thing and supporting Newbeat,' Benji adds. 'We can relate to each other, so I think that's how we became very close.' For some attendees, their aspirations at KCON go beyond meeting other fans and seeing their favorite artists. The convention included an open audition for Season 4 of 'Produce 101 Japan,' a competition reality TV franchise that aims to create a Japanese idol group. Male applicants were invited to try out for the program with a one-minute song, rap or dance. 19-year-old Chris Zamora from Torrance, Calif., decided to audition after staff at the convention's 'Produce 101' booth encouraged him to do so. 'I thought going into it would be very nerve-racking, but they were really welcoming,' Zamora says. 'They asked a lot of questions, and they obviously care about everyone who enters the audition.' Outside the Dream Stage tryout room, Jaelyn Jones waits with bated breath. A KCON staff member announces the numbers of the dancers who passed the final audition — and sure enough, Jones' number is called. 'It just feels very surreal. I feel like I'm not here,' Jones says. At the mainstage concert that night, the Dream Stage winners rush onto the stage to dance to the chorus of 'Fact Check' with NCT 127. The arena lights up in green as K-pop fans — male and female, young and old, from around the globe — perform the high-energy song alongside the group that recorded it. In the audience are Jones' friends from home, cheering her on. 'I think it's gonna become a ritual or traditional type of thing with my friends [where] we come here every year,' she says.

K-Beauty Fans, Rejoice: These Viral Korean Brands Just Hit Ulta
It's no secret that Korean beauty companies are often light years ahead when it comes to innovation—but unfortunately, many of the newest (and more niche) products are either hard to find in the U.S. or cost a fortune to import. The good news? Ulta has partnered with online shopping platform K-Beauty World to bring a slew of buzzy K-beauty brands to its shelves. Shop Ulta's K-Beauty Section You can now shop skin care from Mixsoon, Neogen, Some By Mi, I'm From, Chasin' Rabbits, and Sungboon Editor in Ulta stores and online—plus sparkly eyeshadows, dewy lip tints, and more from emerging K-makeup brands Unleashia and Rom&nd. And through a separate partnership with Hansung Beauty, cult-loved formulas from Ma:nyo, Mediheal, Fwee, TirTir, and VT Cosmetics are also available—from viral spicules-infused serums to cushion compacts. Below, we've rounded up some of the best new K-beauty finds to snag now—including plenty of ELLE editor and expert-approved picks. With its playful packaging and soothing ingredients, Chasin' Rabbits delivers the kind of skin care you'll actually look forward to using daily. One standout? The brand's Bunny Line Smoother. Infused with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and matcha extract, it works to hydrate and de-puff the delicate under-eye area. It also features a cooling metal tip that also doubles as a mini gua sha roller. Odds are you've seen TirTir's cushion foundation all over your FYP. After testing the viral formula myself, I can confirm it delivers impressive coverage—blurring pores, redness, and hyperpigmentation in a single swipe—and it stays put all day. Just be sure to moisturize well beforehand to avoid any dry patches. Mixsoon's minimalist, gentle formulas are also ELLE editor favorites. 'Because I'm acne-prone, I can't indulge in just any sunscreen, which is why I love this one,' says Beauty Commerce Editor Nerisha Penrose. 'With no pore-clogging ingredients and a soft-to-the-touch, non-white finish, this has quickly become my go-to.' 'I recommend these pads to anyone looking to firm their skin,' Hyo Hyun Ahn, a dermatology professor at Korea University College of Medicine, previously told ELLE. 'They deliver a nourishing, firming treatment infused with micro-collagen, ceramides, and milk protein.' What's more, they come with a set of tweezers to keep application as hygienic as possible. Spicules are one of the hottest trends in skin care right now, offering an effective, at-home alternative to professional microneedling treatments. This lower-dose version of VT Cosmetics' popular Reedle Shot serum is ideal for beginners, and it's formulated with Centella Asiatica to support skin healing. 'This new type of under-eye patch delivers hydrolyzed collagen to the under-eye area,' Sarah Chung Park, CEO of the company Landing International behind K-Beauty World, previously told ELLE. 'It is not kept on like a hydrogel mask, but rather it transfers the collagen powder directly to the under eye area.' Essentially, these melt right into the skin so you don't have to peel them off later. Also included in this set are patches for larger areas of your face. While some Korean makeup products can be light on pigment, Fwee offers vivid formulas designed to flatter a range of skin tones. This editor-approved lip and cheek tint went viral for its whipped, mousse-like feel that melts seamlessly into skin. With over 30 shades to choose from, you're bound to find at least one that works for you. Banish breakouts with this Some By Mi toner, which we named one of the all-time best K-beauty products for acne. It features three kinds of chemical exfoliants—AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs—to help unclog pores and encourage cell turnover. For long-lasting, your-lips-but-better color, our editors swear by rom&nd's The Juicy Lasting Tint. Available in 13 shades—from subtle peachy browns to rich magenta—it delivers a vibrant, hydrating finish. Pro tip: After applying, let it settle before pressing your lips together—this helps the glassy sheen stay put all day. Neogen—best known for its top-rated Korean toner pads—specializes in straightforward formulas packed with high-performing actives. These glow-boosting peel pads are especially great for sensitive skin, combining exfoliating AHAs with soothing ingredients like green tea and Centella Asiatica. They're also double-sided, with a textured surface that gently amps up exfoliation. With bold pigments and sparkles, indie brand Unleashia's cult-favorite eyeshadows are all about self-expression. This palette includes nine biodegradable glitter shades, each with a buttery-smooth texture that blends like a dream. Prioritizing botanicals and ancient fermentation technology, I'm From's lineup is farm-to-face skin care at its finest. The Rice Whip Cleanser is designed to gently remove makeup and impurities, with a creamy texture that transforms into a rich lather when activated with water.
