With just two days left until the 2023 Weverse Con Festival, global fans are eagerly anticipating the experience.
Set to happen at the Olympic Park KSPO DOME and the 88 Grass Lawn on the 10th and 11th, the Weverse Con Festival offers fans a vibrant and immersive experience offline while providing a comprehensive overview of contemporary pop music.
For two days, a total of 20 groups, including Baekho, BOYNEXTDOOR, BTOB, Beomzu, Dvwn, ENHYPEN, fromis_9, Hwang Min Hyun, Hyolyn, Jeremy Zucker, Lee Hyun, LE SSERAFIM, LIGHTSUM, MOONCHILD, NewJeans, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Kim Junsu, ZICO, &TEAM, and Uhm Jung Hwa - the legend for the tribute stage, will perform.
As anticipation grows for this large-scale summer music festival filled with spectacular lineups and diverse attractions, we've pinpointed three key points that attendees should look out for to enhance their festival experience.
◆ A One-Stop Experience of K-Pop from Rising Artists to Legends
The Weverse Con Festival is a music fest where you can experience contemporary pop music's features and trends in one place. From K-Pop artists who are conquering global music charts and touring worldwide, to international artists visiting Korea solely for this festival, and even legendary artists who have remained active for decades, the diverse lineup stirs great excitement.
Celebrating her 30th debut anniversary, Uhm Jung Hwa is expected to showcase a stage filled with legendary songs and will also present collaboration performances with junior artists. Ever since Uhm Jung Hwa was announced as the tribute stage's main act on May 22nd, expectations on social media platforms including Weverse have been rising. Lee Hyun will showcase his melodious ballad side on the WeversePark stage on the 10th, and on the following day, he will perform as his other persona, MIDNATT. Global fans are also keenly focusing on Jeremy Zucker's performance, known for his active interaction with fans through Weverse.
Furthermore, various artists have finished preparations to meet the audience on both the 'WeversePark' and 'WeverseCon' stages. The WeversePark stage, set up on a green grass lawn, will host performances featuring live bands, appealing to the audience's senses. At the KSPO DOME, the WeverseCon stage will offer custom-tailored stages for diverse artists, promising 240 minutes of immersive performances.
◆ Various Attractions to Enjoy Alongside the Performances
As seen in its identity as a 'Music & FanLife Festival,' the Weverse Con Festival offers not only artist performances but also a plethora of events and spaces for attendees to participate and interact directly, promising a full day of enjoyment.
At the 'WeversePark,' spread out on the 88 Grass Lawn, there will be various experiential programs and food and beverage booths where attendees can fully enjoy the festival mood amidst nature. Mini talk times that boost the festive atmosphere with MC JaeJae, the 'BoomUp Stage,' and the 'Urban Dance Studio' where attendees can learn choreography directly from the artists' performance directors, are part of the programs through which attendees can take part in building the festival.
Trendy food and drink booths offering festival-exclusive menus will be available, along with photo booths for capturing memories of the festival. Additionally, about 30 different stalls will be set up, including merchandise booths selling festival merch, various event and experiential zones in the KSPO DOME front square. This diverse setup will add color to the festival experience.
◆ Expanding Weverse Fan Experience Offline
This festival is designed to provide an enjoyable and convenient experience, mimicking the online experience offered by the global fandom live platform 'Weverse' in the offline world.
New services 'Weverse by Fans' and 'Weverse Queuing' will be unveiled for the first time at the festival site. 'Weverse by Fans' allows fans to easily create their own official merch using design elements such as photos, logos, and image clips of their favorite artists on the products they choose. Fans attending the festival can try out the process from ordering to receiving goods at the dedicated booth on site before the official launch. Additionally, 'Weverse Queuing' will be introduced, allowing festival attendees to register their waiting positions easily through mobile, thus eliminating the hassle of physical queuing and enhancing the convenience at the festival site.
There will also be a 'Fan Art Gallery' displaying winning entries of caricatures of artists drawn by fans, and calligraphy using song lyrics, which were pre-collected through the Weverse platform. This will allow fans to enjoy the culture of the fandom that loves these artists right at the festival site.
For those unable to visit the Weverse Con Festival in person, the festival will be live-streamed, allowing them to enjoy the event online. Tickets for the offline Weverse Con Festival can be booked through Interpark, and the online live-streaming can be purchased through the Weverse Shop. Further details can be confirmed on the official Weverse Con Festival website and the Weverse Zone community on the global fandom live platform, Weverse.
