Within the less than 3 months existence of KPOP-alypse-KON itself, we have already been able to line up an enviable collection of guests/performers for our inaugural convention! "Music Style" Guest/Performer: Jungmin is 1 of the hottest K-Pop cover artists South Korea has to offer. A young man with an old musician's soul, he made his initial impact by releasing a series of tribute songs inspired by the likes of 2AM, G-Dragon, & 2NE1 on YouTube, amassing hundreds of thousands of views (& counting) in the process. "Music Style" Guest/Performer: Gemini is 1 of the hottest up-&-coming K-Hip Hop artists the West Coast has to offer. His passion for life comes through in everything that he puts his heart & soul into, including his string of highly acclaimed cover hits (including EPIK HIGH's "Born Hater" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZMxDoB28fI), GD X Taeyang's "Good Boy (Remix)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR-8SPKUb_c), & SISTAR's "Wow" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqjr6ILTVMI), to name a few). "Yeobun-Ui Style" Guest/Performer: Mister Popo is an American pianist, actor, published playwright, blogger, & YouTube personality. Popo is widely known for his YouTube channel, MisterPopoTV (http://www.youtube.com/misterpopotv), in which he creates reviews, reactions, rants, & parody videos largely within K-Music's sphere of influence. And "Music Style" Guest/Performer: Annabelle is a 17 year-old singer & dancer who decided to incorporate her love for K-Pop into her budding music career. Originally thinking that covering music of a different language & culture was out of the question, she participated in the American music scene on shows such as American Idol & The Voice. However, nothing was hitting Annabelle like K-Pop did, so she decided to give it a chance & has been putting her all into K-Music vocal & dance covers ever since. More guests, performers, & panelists (such as JBKPop) will be announced in the days, weeks, & months ahead, so keep tabs on KPK 'cause you don't wanna miss a thing!

Before you know it, April 10th & 11th, 2015 will be here & "Philadelphia's 1ST-EVER Korean pop culture convention" will be making history deep in the heart of "the city of brotherly love". Much remains to be done (& revealed) between now & then, but we couldn't be more excited for what the future holds. For anyone & everyone who wishes to interact with us on a more personal level, we invite you to engage us all over social media, but most especially our official Facebook fan page (https://www.facebook.com/kpopalypsekon). Being a fan of Asian cuture is about so much more than manga, the over-saturation of anime conventions, & Weaboos (or in this case, Koreaboos ^_^). It's about passion for Asian culture as a whole, & the Hallyu (Korean Wave) of K-Pop fandom has finally hit the East Coast in a way that hasn't been experienced before. Team KPK thanks everyone for their support thus far & looks forward to earning even more of it in eager anticipation of KPOP-alypse-KON 2015.
