"KCON Japan's lineup is amazing": Fans celebrate the exciting artist line-up for the upcoming music festival
Ever since the release of the KCON 2023 Japan's artist line-up, fans have been over the moon with various great artists performing at the festival, with many believing that the upcoming lineups are the most exciting in recent years.
However, what caught the eye of many was the appearance of Boys Planet. Since it is a survival show consisting of trainees who haven't debuted yet, fans were both surprised and confused by the same. Check out some of these tweets below:
Based on the understanding that both KCON 2023 Japan and Boys Planet are hosted by Mnet, the performance makes more sense from a promotional perspective. Given that this will be the contestants' first K-pop schedule, fans are eagerly looking forward to it while simultaneously voting for their favorite trainees so they can make it to the music festival.
Additionally, with groups like ATEEZ, LESSERAFIM, ENHYPEN, iKON, THE BOYZ, and STAYC in the line-up, fans are sure that the performances will be far from disappointing. On the other hand, fans who will be unable to attend the music festival have been quite saddened by the same.
In other news, KCON's last stop in Thailand was a great success. Held at the Impact International Exhibition Hall in Bangkok for the first time in four years, a huge audience turnover was witnessed at the music festival. Many prominent artists in the country like GOT7, Kep1er, iKON, ITZY, ATEEZ, and (G)I-DLE rolled out their performances for the slated two days (March 19-20).
