(G)I-DLE

If you are looking for a talented girl group with the perfect visual & addicting beats to stan, (G)I-DLE will surely become your ult group! Garnering attention since the very moment they debuted, these six queens are finally coming to the U.S. to conquer us all😍

During the KCON stage, we will surely see their latest title, Senorita, from the 2nd Mini Album, I Made:

And since it’s their first visit to the U.S., we carefully speculate that we may get LATATA – their debut title from I Am – performance as well – after all, this is the song in which all of this started😉

SEVENTEEN

No introduction is necessary for these thirteen kings who are the embodiments of pure talent!✨ As one of the groups who gained the title of self-producing idol, SEVENTEEN is the group to follow if you enjoy listening to a variety of music genres & watching cool choreographies.

It’s been three years since New York KCON had SEVENTEEN, and we’re so glad to have them back this year! They have so many great tracks even for a group that had their 4th debut anniversary just a few days ago (Congratulations!), but we would have to guess that they will perform Home, the title track from their latest Korean release, You Made My Dawn.

There are a couple of more tracks that SEVENTEEN showed powerful performance for in the same album. Both Good to Me and Getting Closer are impeccable tracks, but we gotta admit that we hope to see:

In addition, we suspect that their next regular album release would be sometime late this summer, so we might just get lucky and get a taste of their new title track! We can only hope🥺

You can meet SEVENTEEN every other week via their YouTube/VLive video contents, GOING SEVENTEEN.

SF9

The nine boys who give us Sensational Feeling are back to KCON New York!💕 If you are into retro-sounding K-Pop, SF9 is a group that you must give a listen to. Their latest release, Enough, definitely has more modern sounding beats, but still has SF9’s characteristic in the chorus with the soft vocals😌

Since it’s the title track of their latest album, NARCISSUS, we are fairly certain to see Enough being performed at this year’s KCON stage:

SF9 has quite a few hit songs that we love which makes it hard to pick just one stage that we want to see, but it would be a safe bet to say that Now or Never from the 5th Mini album, Sensuous, would be on stage:

VERIVERY

And finally, the last but definitely not the least, seven boys from VERIVERY are coming to meet us! VERIVERY is another rookie boy group that you should pay close attention to if you like self-producing idols and/or uplifting beats😊

As their latest title & also a song that was performed during KCON 2019 Japan, From Now is surely going to be on the stage for KCON 2019 New York as well:
