SB Chat Box #51: KCON 2016 NY Highlights

Hi all and welcome back to the Seoulbeats Chat Box. You have a good eye if you noticed something different.

Normally, these are done by Gaya. This time around, I was able to host a chat box and converse with Lauren and Vya as the three of us attended KCON 2016 NY. Lauren and I covered day one and two separately, but the three of us came together to talk about our experience with KCON considering we had never had the chance to attend the convention for “All Things Hallyu” before.

With that being said, we had a lot to talk about. You can find a small synopsis below.
