CJ ENM Hopes to Prime K-Pop Pump With Unscripted Series ‘Planet B,’ KCON Expansion to Germany


South Korea's CJ ENM, which wrapped KCON LA 2024 fan convention, plans to expand its K-pop business with series 'Planet B' and KCON Germany.

Some of the biggest players in K-pop are facing a business slowdown after several frothy years fueled by the worldwide success of BTS, Blackpink and other musical ambassadors of the K-content boom. The event at the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena drew a broadcast partner for the first time in the CW network, which aired a live special featuring portions of the July 28 concert including a surprise appearance by actor Awkwafina. Among the headlers of the KCON LA 2024 concerts were Enhyphen, Jeon Somi, ZeroBaseOne, Bibi, NCT 127, StayC, Hyolyn, Ini, ME:I, TWS and Zico.
