    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*

    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.

    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.
