KPOPMINNECON is more than just an event — it’s a vibrant celebration of the passionate, creative K-pop community right here in the Midwest. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to K-pop, this is the can’t-miss experience that brings fans together from across the region and beyond.

K-pop has exploded in popularity across the U.S., yet major fan conventions have

remained rare in the Midwest — until now.

KPOPMINNECON is set to change that by bringing fans together for a unique, in-person experience where they can connect with one another, discover emerging artists, and celebrate their shared passion for K-pop.
