The KCON Saudi Arabia 2023 lineup has just been announced
It’s happening next month…
K-pop is wildly popular in Saudi Arabia, and if you’re anything like us, you love the music, the culture, and everything it comes with. One of the major events that celebrates K-culture is KCON, an annual convention held in several locations across the world, luckily for us, it’s coming back to Riyadh. KCON Saudi Arabia 2023 is officially happening.
