Music LAist Studios. As a Korean-American person who grew up in L.A. I had like a very complicated

relationship with K-pop and I wasn't always loud and proud about my love for it.

When K-pop exploded, I was like, how is this music that I only listened to with other Korean people growing up?

How is it now being embraced by like the rest of the world? I don't understand how this happened.

From LA's video. by like the rest of the world. I don't understand how this happened.

From LA Studios, this is How to LA. I'm Brian de Los Santos. I'm Vivian You, the writer and host of K-pop Dreaming.

And today, we're exploring KCon.

It's a lot of screaming. It's a lot of screaming.

It's a lot of like spontaneous dancing.

There's so many fans, so many crowds, so many vendors, boots, people dressed up, people

dressed down, like me.

Anytime like a recognizable song comes on, you'll see fans all over the place just like

busting out the same choreo.

Everybody knows the drill.

It's like very organic flash mobs in a way.
