So last Saturday was amazing! I got to see SHINee, CNBLUE, 2PM, and many more K-Pop stars at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a concert celebrating the 111th Anniversary of Korean American Immigration.
The event was held by the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles in collaboration with KBS Korea and KBS America.
The best thing about the event was that it was free, TicketMaster sold tickets for this event a while back, limiting two tickets per person. I got pretty lucky in being able to go since I wasn't able to get a ticket when they came out (my friend invited my to go with him, thanks a bunch Kuan!!!).
Before the big concert, there was a festival with food trucks, several Korean food vendors (Including the swirly potato vendor), and some merchandise booths, which I managed to purchase a BTS poster. Sadly, I wasn't able to buy food from the vendors, the lines were huge and it was hot... and I was hungry and I didn't want to wait too long... but I regret not getting a swirly potato.... :'( (next time...)
My friend Tawny Nuna was amazed at the event and had a great time dancing to K-pop idols, "I thought the concert was amazballz under a beautiful bright moon and clear cool evening."
Don't credit me on this, but I heard that the event will be televised on KBS, so you guys should check your local listings for that.
I really hope another event like this is held again, hopefully next year. If they do, you guys who weren't able to make it this time, you should treat yourself and immerse yourself in some Korean culture.
