“[These events] are a form of our commitment to fulfill ever-changing needs; as people worldwide are staying home and converting to online entertainment," said Shopee regional marketing head Agatha Soh in a statement.
KCON was first launched in 2012 in Los Angeles, the United States, and has been expanding to other cities since, including New York, Tokyo in Japan, Bangkok in Thailand and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
