See you at KCON this weekend!

 
Any Beanies out there planning to go to KCON in Los Angeles this weekend? If you are, we’d love to see you at either or both of the panels we’ll be speaking at!

This year, we’ve got a panel on each day, and they are, conveniently, both in the same location (Panel Tent #1) and at the same time (2:30 PM).

Details:

How K-dramas Worldwide Influence Food, Fashion, and Fans
Saturday, August 9
Panel Tent 1
2:30 PM — 3:30 PM

This panel is hosted by Viki, and will feature Sean Richard (Athena, Jejoongwon), who was also on the panel last year.
 

Why Do Dramas Do That?
Sunday, August 10
Panel Tent 1
2:30 PM — 3:30 PM

This panel is all Dramabeans, and we’re really looking forward to it! Gummimochi and HeadsNo2 will be moderating, and Girlfriday and I will talk about a whole bunch of topics, such as drama genres and trends, character archetypes, idol actors and variety stars, viewership ratings, the cable boom, common drama tropes and more. I’m pretty sure lots more.

Can’t wait to meet you guys, so swing by and say hi!

Are any of the panel going to be recorded or live streamed for future viewing later for those of us unable to attend?

Or could KCon give a copyright waiver so someone could capture a video and put it on YouTube?

Even better, lets hope that KCon hosts the video and provides a comment section for each of the various topics. Don't know why they wouldn't.

For brand building, it'd drive traffic to the KCon site; build interest in attending next year's event by giving compelling freebies to people who didn't attend; build brand affinity because we're gonna' love whoever gives love to Dramabeans; and generate audience/topical interest data that'd be useful for planning future events.

Ok, that sounds like begging...mostly because it actually is. :-)

javabeans and girlfriday's panel from KCON 2013.

Shut Up: Flower Boy Band is my favorite k-drama, too!

The MNet America site has something called KCON Experience 2014 that they say will cover everything that happens at KCON. Well, this is exactly what it says:

KCON EXPERIENCE 2014 is a new web-series that “brings KCON to your fingertips." This series will showcase every aspect of this year’s KCON, from the very beginning to the final conclusion. Follow us from the moment your favorite stars land in Los Angeles and join the KCON EXPERIENCE 2014 VJs for backstage footage and a glimpse at the weekend’s panels, fan meetings, food stands, and more, exclusively through KCON EXPERIENCE 2014.

My friend is. Don't worry, you'd be surrounded by people like you, so think of it as like 1,000+ friends. Except me ;~; Comic-con and now this!

We should kidnap Lee Seo Jin, Lee Seung Gi, IU and Yoo In Na for the Dramabeans panel. I'll bring the handcuffs!!!

Btw why is it always August? the hottest month of the year in SoCal.

I'm wicked pumped to be able to come this year! Woohoo! I moved to Los Angeles last year literally the day AFTER K-Con and was heartbroken that I couldn't attend.

Also - is anyone interested in getting together before/after the panel for food and drinks or whatnot with fellow members of the Beanut Gallery? Just thought I'd throw that out there...

Can't wait to see you guys and meet up with some other beanies. I flew in to visit my daughter but couldn't resist attending this (even though I do feel a little crazy for doing it.) See you there!
