The "Girls Collaboration Stage" features @loonatheworld's Heejin and Hyunjin plus @NMIXX_official's Sullyoon and Kyujin covering @RBW_MAMAMOO's "Decalcomania." Shoutout to Sullyoon tackling so many high notes too!

Omg Kevin from @IST_THEBOYZ is just LIVING on the #KCON2022LA stage, he's bouncing and jumping all over the place. Can't wait for the day he and @WE_THE_BOYZ play an arena all their own in North America one day
528
@Jeff__Benjamin
Now @NMIXX_official is honoring past #KCON performances by covering @pledis_17's "AJU NICE," suspenders and even adding the "Woaaahs!" for #KCON2022LA
529
@Jeff__Benjamin
Now it's time for #Queendom2 winners @WJSN_Cosmic to take the #KCON2022LA to perform their winning song "AURA." These outfits are amazing!
530
@Jeff__Benjamin
Kevin's MCing experience really shining as he and @IST_THEBOYZ Juyeon were special MCs in between sets
531
@Jeff__Benjamin
The special MCs kicking off the #KCON2022LA concert are @NCTsmtown_DREAM's Jaemin and Jeno
532
@Jeff__Benjamin
#KCON2022LA concert time! @IST_THEBOYZ are up first with "Maverick" can't wait to see @WE_THE_BOYZ's new songs too
533
@Jeff__Benjamin
Wait I love this. Kep1er's Youngeun showing she knows ATEEZ's "The Real" choreography and pulls it off with ease. If she had done this on stage (even just briefly) it would have caused her crowd reaction to be even more massive 👏 twitter.com/LUVMYDESlRE/st…
534
@Jeff__Benjamin
Also in a nice moment ATEEZ's Hongjoong saw some of the CRAVITY members trying to catch up with their members and he insisted they go down the stairs before him
535
@Jeff__Benjamin
Kep1er's Huening Bahiyyih and LIGHTSUM's Nayoung jumped and hugged each other when they saw each other
536
@Jeff__Benjamin
Stray Kids' Bang Chan was the last to leave the stage, and hugged the staff member who was overseeing the stair exit as he walked off
537
@Jeff__Benjamin
One of my favorite parts of the @KCON_official concert is watching the artists interact with each other for goodbyes at the end. I saw Stray Kids' Changbin and CRAVITY's Allen hug each other (Allen also did a kick flip in the middle of the stage, dude was feeling himself)
538
@Jeff__Benjamin
The personality, ad-libs and embellishments @Stray_Kids are giving in their #KCON2022LA performance are prime examples as to why they're connecting in deeper ways with audiences here. You can see them following their instincts and enjoying the individual moments
539
@Jeff__Benjamin
For #KCON2022LA, @Stray_Kids played a game granting fans' wishes and Hyunjin had to do 10 pushups...and he did them all one handed 💪💪
540
@Jeff__Benjamin
Anyway, @Stray_Kids TIME AT #KCON2022LA FIRST UP "MANIAC"
541
@Jeff__Benjamin
I think I just heard my voice in @Stray_Kids' #KCON2022LA intro video....
542
@Jeff__Benjamin
Now @ENHYPEN is honoring the 10th anniversary of @KCON_official by performing a special cover of past #KCON performers. They chose "Permission to Dance" by @BTS_twt (who performed at KCON in 2014 and 2016)!

545
@Jeff__Benjamin
546
@Jeff__Benjamin
Now @CUBE_LIGHTSUM is performing a cover of "TOMBOY" by their @cubeunited seniors @G_I_DLE at #KCON2022LA 🤟🤟
547
@Jeff__Benjamin
If this is any indication of @ENHYPEN's upcoming tour, it's going to be a must-see show. @ENHYPEN_members making a major impression with their first U.S. performance at #KCON2022LA
548
@Jeff__Benjamin
Time for @ENHYPEN at #KCON2022LA! First up: "Pass the Mic"
549
@Jeff__Benjamin
At the very end of their collaboration stage, @BebeRexha shouted "Love you, ITZY!" And walked off stage hugging Yeji and Ryujin
550
@Jeff__Benjamin
Congratulations on making your @KCON_official debut, @BebeRexha! That was amazing with @ITZYofficial Yeji and Ryujin
