The annual K-pop extravaganza "KCON 2019 Thailand" will be back with a host of Korean-related culture and entertainment at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, on Sept 28 and 29.

Highlights of the K-Culture convention will be two evening concerts by the star-studded line-up of 17 acts -- with Got7, one of the most favourite K-pop boy bands among Thai fans, and girl group Itzy as headliners on Sept 28. They will be joined by Boy Story, Everglow, Golden Child, Kim Jae Hwan, Nature, Oneus and The Boyz.

Headlining the concert on Sept 29 will be the charismatic IZ*One. They will share the stage with (G)I-dle, AB6IX, Ateez, Bvndit, Chung Ha, Stray Kids and Verivery. Thai heartthrob Nichkhun Horvejkul will be a special MC on both days.

In addition to impressive performances onstage, K-pop enthusiasts will have a chance to meet some of their favourite artists during a "meet and greet" session in Impact Exhibition Hall 9-10.

Here are some of the performers you shouldn't miss this year.
