Since I'm in Europe, I'm not even discuting coasts XD I couldn't go anyway. But, I hope for a transmission and, since there is mostly band who performs at this kinds of events, I wish KARA will be invited, since they will released their new album soon. I wanted to see my fav korean singer to perform too but she only released one ong yet -.- there's no way she's going to America... *sigh*
Everything always happens in the west coast. You know that the east coast needs some love too!
And the south, too.
This is why i hate living in Indiana. With no money.Why is Life so Cruel.
sounds like fun wonder if i'll be able to attend or at least have money XD
In my opinion, I believe K-pop is unfair, since the majority is mostly in California.
There's clearly other states with an equal sized fanbase.
Why can't it be Atlanta lol? My parents would never let me fly to LA for a convention
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope i can go1
LA has the biggest K-town and is the entertainment capital of the US. It makes sense that the large venue events are held in there. A lesser lineup would do well in NorCal-BayArea venues IF PROPERLY PROMOTED & ANNOUNCED where a smaller yet wealthier, intensely loyal, multi-ethnic, multicultural fanbase reside. Teens there have $100-300 per concert budget, do the math.
Why LA?

Why not SF?
NOOOO!!!! LA is too far awaaay~~~
iodsogij i will totally go if i find out who the guests are
eh I'll pass California gets it again.
