On May 16 (KST), the officials from KCON LA released an official statement to address their participation in the biggest international K-pop music event.

Official Statement From KCON LA 2025

Dear KCONers,

Thank you for your continued interest and support for KCON LA 2025.

Regrettably, after careful consideration and thorough discussions exploring all avenues for participation, KCON and S2 Entertainment have mutually decided that KISS OF LIFE will no longer be participating in KCON LA 2025.

We sincerely apologize to the fans who were looking forward to their performance, and we kindly ask for your understanding.

We will do our best to bring you even more special and memorable experiences in the months ahead.

Sincerely,

KCON Team

Why is KISS OF LIFE Not Performing?

While no specific reason was given for the sudden withdrawal, the statement mentions that both KCON and S2 Entertainment (KISS OF LIFE’s agency) reached a mutual agreement after discussions. Possible factors could include scheduling conflicts with the group’s other commitments. 

The group was recently embroiled in a controversy for mocking black culture. Last month, KISS OF LIFE dressed as black hip-hop artists for member Julie’s birthday live broadcast and mimicked the speech patterns of African-American artists.

Fan Reaction

Netizens have mixed reactions to the news, and leave comments like 

“No one was looking forward to that.”

“Can we get KiiiKiii or Hearts 2 Hearts to replace them?”

“Deserved for mocking black culture and not apologizing.”

“Probably for safety reasons because those woke fans are crazy.”

“That birthday livestream really messed up their caree.r”

About KCON LA 2025

KCON LA will be held from August 1-3 at Crypto.com Arena, with big-name artists like aespa, SEVENTEEN’s HxW, NMIXX, izna, IVE, CRAVITY, Lee Youngji, and more.
