My first kcon experience (Saturday 1 day all access)
We got the convention center a bit past 7:30 am. They were beginning to fill up the queue for access into the convention center and we wound up being in the second row of the taped area. The line moved really fast and even though the event wasn’t open yet, we wound up being close to the entrance by the time of opening. It wasn’t hot at all and the sun only came out at about 9:30 am. We got in at about 10:05 am.
We went straight to the Olive Young Festa. Before entering the convention we joined the queue on the Mnet plus app. It said there was 3000+ people ahead of us but we just walking into the festa (all they want is to know you signed in). The line for check in and a bag was really long so we went straight to the booths and got stuff. We wound up asking a worker to have one of the boxes they were throwing away so we used that to carry our stuff until about an our later when we got our bag. Though we did not get to all the booths, we filled up our bags and got the olive young goody bag (you don’t need to get all the stamps!)
We then went to the artist stage because I wanted to see yeonjun and p1harmony. We had an alarm for 12:30 pm to go. Honestly it was easier to see them farther away rather than in the mob. i feel like the most annoying part was how much space premium and vip had when they didn’t even fill up that part. If they actually made the barricade closer, we’d be able to see batter. I got a row behind barricade for P1Harmony and I wound up going to the back after they sang their first song.
After, we went downstairs. Everyone on insta said that this is where all the stuff was but honestly it was mostly sellers. We didn’t stay down here for long.
We used Binbox lockers ($30) to keep our goodies and left for dinner.
When we came back we went back into festa (it was closing, and got to some most booths we hadn’t gone to yet.
Then we joined a line for entering crypto (it was all over place as in self formed lines but it worked out) and gave out freebies.
We had seats in the front of the 300s and still had an amazing view. I know zb1 was supposed to have an hour but I still feel it had a great turnout!
