I spent May 20-22 in Toronto, Canada at the Toronto Kpop Con 2016, otherwise known as TKC16. The event was organized by Pop Goes the World and was full of Hallyu goodness. The convention had everything from panels, to games, to YouTuber meet and greets, a showcase for dance crews, vendors, and of course Kpop performances by some of our favorite idol groups. The performers included VIXX, GFriend, Day6, and GOT7 (who were the headliners performing on Saturday and Sunday night). Couldn’t make it in person? Relive the Toronto Kpop Con performances with us below.
Here are some cute moments from the fast-rising rookie group GFriend!
GFriend
Kicking off the Saturday (May 21st) fanmeets at Toronto Kpop Con, we have the lovely girls of GFriend. GFriend represented all girl idol groups during this weekend event, as they were the only girl group to attend. And these girls were absolutely adorable and charming. They performed several songs, answered questions during a Q&A, but also had fan engagements where they were able to interact with fans on stage. Lucky fans in the audience were able to come on stage and participate in a telepathy game with the six girls.
Another aspect that set GFriend’s fanmeet apart from the others were their special stages. The girls performed covers of other songs including S Club 7‘s Bring It All Back.
The day was more special because it was GFriend’s 500th day since they debuted. The fans knew that and had banners created that really touched the girls. GFriend also performed My Buddy for the first time. It was a very memorable show for all.
If you could have a weekend with these idols at Toronto Kpop Con, which groups would you pick? Tell us in the comments below!
