@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!

@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
581
@Jeff__Benjamin
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
582
@Jeff__Benjamin
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!

@Jeff__Benjamin
Now time for @NCTsmtown_DREAM to shut down #KCON2022LA
584
@Jeff__Benjamin
Jisung of @NCTsmtown_DREAM was asked to sing a part of his favorite NCT Dream song for #KCON2022LA's wish game. He chose "Ch-ch-ch-chewing Gum" that got a huge reaction from the crowd. That moment alone makes me think Dream could not only do their own US tour but play huge venues
585
@Jeff__Benjamin
Now @NCTsmtown_DREAM Jeno's jacket is off and he's got a tank top on at #KCON2022LA for "Hello Future"

🔍 A #Kpop girl group member is gearing up for a new solo song, a lovely collaboration track

@Jeff__Benjamin
.@kconusa brought out 90,000+ attendees (down from 2019) but, by far, delivered the best concert and workshops to date. From @BebeRexha x @ITZYofficial to the amazing "Dream Stage" that combined K-pop stars and fans, so impressed by @KCON_official's return:billboard.com/music/concerts…

Loved this conversation from @keith_caulfield and @ktatkinson about BLACKPINK and girl group chart history + predictions about where #PinkVenom and 'Born Pink' can land
Big question: Could they be the first girl group with a No. 1 album in over a decade? billboard.com/media/podcasts…

#RewindingTheKPopCharts
On this day in 2019, X1 proved their potential by entering Billboard's Artist 100 chart at No. 85. At that time, they were just the 15th #Kpop act to ever enter the chart and 10th K-pop boy band
