In a recent statement, EXO and SuperM member Kai mentioned the festival, saying, “It’s exciting to take part in the KAMP LA lineup. This may legitimately be the biggest K-pop event in U.S. history.”
KAMP Global CEO Tim Kim said, “There’s a deep connection between Korean culture and L.A. This was always the place to start, but we are also going to bring K-pop worldwide with KAMP and Eventim Live Asia. We will go to all markets where K-pop resonates — which is everywhere these days. KAMP isn’t just about mega-concerts or historic events — it’s a culture.”
CEO of Eventim Live Asia Jason Miller added, “Kim’s vision was immediately exciting. KAMP Global and Eventim Live Asia share a true global vision for K-pop and the experience to make it happen in unprecedented ways. KAMP LA is a meaningful first step in that direction. There are many more to come.”
