Dramabeans at KCON, who’s up for an LA meetup?

by javabeans

KCON 2013

A reminder to everyone who’s planning on going to KCON in Los Angeles this weekend: Dramabeans will be talking at a panel on Saturday, so drop by!

The K-drama panel is on Saturday morning, August 24. I’ll be on the panel with girlfriday (and gummimochi and HeadsNo2 will also be in attendance), chatting with drama actor Sean Richard Dulake (Athena, Jejoongwon) and PD Kim Won Suk of Monstar and Sungkyunkwan Scandal! It should be a blast.

Panel: THE WORLD OF K-DRAMA

August 24 (Saturday), 11 AM, Tent 1

Everyone enjoys a good Korean drama. Whether it be that most romantic kiss, the heart wrenching struggle between forbidden lovers, or the unrealistic yet comical and amusing characters, Korean dramas keep us in our seats for hours. Join our special guests as they delve deep into the world of K-drama and give us an expert’s point of view on this genre of Korean Pop culture.

Special Guests: Stephanie Parker, Girlfriday, Dramabeans, Sean Richard Dulake, Won Suk Kim.
Moderator: Keonjik Lee.
Special Thanks To: Viki.

We’ll be hanging out at KCON all day Saturday, and chatting with anyone who cares to chat with us. Maybe by the food trucks. So come by and say hi! For more KCON information, check out the official website at Kconusa.com.

FLASH MEETUP!

However, if you’re not planning on going to KCON but are still down to chill with the Dramabeans gang, we’re planning on rustling up an impromptu meetup on Friday, August 23. So if you’re going to be in LA on Friday evening and want to drop by to chat for a couple hours, check back here Thursday and we’ll let you know where and when to catch us.

So far this is what we’ve got: It’ll be Friday, in Koreatown, in the evening. We promise to get more organized before then!

Feel free to tweet us during our flash meetup or during KCON:
@javabeans
@girlfriday_db
@gummimochi
@HeadsNo2

Hope to see you guys this weekend, one way or another!

Man, things really suck if you're stuck in the central part of the country for anything related to Korean pop culture... It's either Cali or NY as far as Korea goes.

Well, hope those going have fun and share their experiences here!

"Special Guests: ... Girlfriday, Dramabeans..."

Forever being mysterious! I wonder if you guys have ever mistakenly written your pseudonyms on some unrelated form before.

Hope everyone going has enough fun for the rest of us who can't make it. Pictures or it didn't happen, guys!

Hahaa. Exactly what i was thinking!
But i guess for all things k-drama related, GF and JB are more iconic names.
I wonder if any of the entertainers in korea ever come to this blog to see what the foreigners think.

God. I'd like to live in LA. Just for this time. France is a bit far from there... :"( Like... just bit of sea.... and also a continent... and far too much hours of flight...

I keep hoping one day, people will stop think I'm crazy about cheesy stuffs starring asian people who all look the same when I talk about my drama addiction ^^

Ugh yet another reason why I resent missing KCON. Not that I ever had the chance anyway, what with being on the wrong continent and all..

But hope you ladies have fun! Same goes to all the beanies that are lucky enough to attend!

If my friend drives south, I'll try to bum a ride, but probably not with my master's thesis in flux. You guys have a blast!

If only you had announced this before I booked my ticket from LA to Toronto, I would've delayed my trip just to meet the DB gang. Sigh, I'll add in my request for photos/YouTube video. Pretty please with a cherry on top and batting eyelashes.
