wait
is wilshire REALLY not sponsoring this year?? o.0 ohnoeee~

^ yeah, they arent,
because Korean Air isn't sponsoring either.
Wilshire Grand is their hotel.
thats why they stayed their year after year.


or maybe they are...
i should ask my mom XD

Yes, there are two giant screen TVs on both sides of the stage so it's REALLY helpful in seeing all the artists & their faces.

awesome! thanks janers for the confirmation (:
& I believe that Korean Air is sponsoring this year.. cos their icon is on the KMF website~

MICHELLE!! what are u hiding from us? lol.
who does ur mom know?!? haha

Wowers. I actually thought about this the same day they took out WG and Hyori. It makes sense to change it for SM artists to come. AND SM has the money to do so. It CAN be a possibility.



LMFAO! ARE YOU SERIOUS? It's practically their hottest song right now. HAHA



No. I highly doubt they are going to sing ANY Japanese songs. I wish they could.. *LOVE IN THE ICE* *PROUD* *EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!* hahahahhaa. I really want them to sing hug tooo <33


After getting many responses from people, I think i AM going to keep my Pool. If it's not good, then oh well. I guess next year I'll buy better seats..
I think they didn't give an exact date of the last list because they didn't confirm it yet. I think once they confirmed it, they'll give us an official date of the last list. I hope it's someone I know. HAHA. I think anyone would be fine at this point though. I just hope you HYROI and WG fans aren't TOO disappointed..

For those that are wondering what songs some of the artists might sing, there's a playlist at the khype forum (at the top). This is (most likely) not the official list, but I think it gives a general idea.
Go to the khype forum to listen to them. X)

Oh and I wrote the songs (in the playlist) down.
TVXQ -
Rising Sun & O

Fly To The Sky -
I Love You & My Angel

SG Wannabe -
First Snow & Arirang

Suju T -
Rokuko, First Express & Don't Go Away

SNSD -
Kissing You, Girl's Generation, Into The New World & Baby Baby

Sohn Ho Young -
Love Brings Separation, Yes & My Heart Is In Heaven

Eru -
Because We Are Two & Mannequin

SG Wannabe + Ock Juhyun -
One Summer's Day Dream

Feel free to add to list? What are other possible/likely choices?
For TVXQ, I think I can add Purple Line (and Travel Log or some ballads from their 3rd album). But that's about it.

Which Sheraton hotel is closer to HB? Is their more then on in LA?

i have a question..

was the wilshire grand posted on last year's kmf hb site as a sponsor like the sheraton is for this year??

my friends and i have reservations for wilshire cause we stayed there last year too but if the celebs are going to the sheraton, we need to cancel...
i'd be so pissed if we went to the sheraton and the people ended up still staying @ the wilshire ;;
maybe i should call and ask.... hmmm..

if anyone gets info on this, please update and inform us all..
thank you >.<!!

since I am a person with alot of time on my hands LOL I tried to clean up the pool circle seating chart

Initially, I was thinking that the conflict in schedule for WG performing at Hollywood Bowl was because of the broadcast date for the show, but thinking about it again... it couldn't be because the actual Hollywood Bowl is on a Saturday which is when Music Core airs, can it? I mean, MBC couldn't be that petty, could they???

It's not like WG members JUST became Music Core MCs, they were already Music Core MCs when they agreed to do Hollywood Bowl in the first place. Just because now the show will be on SBS rather than MBC, could MBC have renegged on allowing WG time off to perform at Hollywood Bowl???

last year did anyone know which order the singers went performing before going to the concert? or do you not know the order until you go to the concert?

I think its hard to before but last year the program had the order. So on the day of, you'll know.

ok htanks

Since the korean music festival has changed their sponsors this year and their staying at the Sheraton hotel, my 4 other friends and I are going to the hollywood bowl and were flying in from Canada. We were initially planning to stay at wilshire but now were thinking to change to sheraton hotel BUT you have to be 21 years older to check in. which is a problem for us. We are thinking if anyone has the same problem also. We are willing to look for someone, well we are all fan girls here are willing to check in for us that is . we have all the money to pay for the hotel and were also able to pay extra money for checking us in.
or if anyone is staying there by themselves, might as well split the rooms so you can save money
But if plans dont work out. were going to stay at wilshire since its only a street away from sheraton if they stay at the one DT L.A thats attached to the MALL!!
but yeaaaaa I CANT WAITT!!!!!!. you guys probably think im crazyyy for even trying to stay at the same hotel as them but were coming soo farr. hopefullly turns out great! because we want it to be worth it since THIS IS MY FIRST CONCERT EVER!
and my friend is crazyyy and wants to go to a JROCK CONCERT the night before the bowl and its at hollywood bowl too LOL

im pm'ing you! lol

parking seems to be very crazy at the bowl.i looked at all the maps and it shows that parking is based on some order where if u park first, u hafta wait til everyone else around u leaves before u leave..O.o

what jrock concert???? the miyavi one?


and haha most everybody is trying to find the same hotel the stars are staying at too.


btw, i really feel like dbsk will sing at least 2 ballads. that's their specialty!!! i think they will sing only rising sun OR O, and then some korean ballads.

i think it's miyavi's concert.. a friend i know who's going to kmf is also going to the miyavi concert the night before.. hahaha.
wouldn't it be difficult to book with the hotel the singers are staying in?
and it might be really expensive too..
since i'm broke enough as it is, having to fly across the country and everything, i'm going to stick with what me and my friends already have. XD

i'm hoping that dbsk will perform purple line... and then some other songs. probably yeo haeng gi... how many songs does each singer usually perform?

Miyavi is playing in Anaheim too at the House of BLues near Disneyland. I seriously live 15 minutes away. But i couldn't find anyone who's willing to go with me!

so i'm trying to find a way to the concert. i found out that one of the park and ride buses is a mile and a half away from the hotel i'm staying at (kyoto grand hotel & gardens). for those who have used it in previous years, please help me out.

- do my friends and i have to buy tickets in advance for these buses? if so, how can i do that? or do we just pay when we board the bus?
- do the buses depart at a certain time or are they like the shuttle and come every 15 minutes?
- how are we suppose to know at the end of the night which bus will take us back to that parking structure? are the buses numbered or something?
- if i wanted to get ther eariler for the preconcert and i found another way there, can i still take one of these buses back?

How did you find out they are staying at sheraton?? arent they all sorta scattered??

hey guys, i know we're allowed to bring our own food and eat it at the picnic tables, but is food allowed INSIDE the bowl DURING the concert?? [eating at our seats and stuff]

thank you gkacie =]

food is allowed so no worries



how'd you know that? if that's true i wanna book there too!! I pmED you already so reply pls!

Lol SHERATON HOTEL is just a sponsor.

That doesnt mean THE ALL OR W/E ARTISTS ARE GOING TO STAY THERE.

Like last year, one hotel sponsored the concert and majority of the artist booked rooms at another hotel

actually, yes, it usually means the artist stays there.

Wasnt the sponsor wilshire hotel last year?
like most of the artists stayed there.

Yes some stayed at wilshire and some stayed at another hotel last year.

Once again, just because their a sponsor that doesnt mean all or any artists will be staying there.
It might be a possiblity they will stay there. Sheraton could just be the sponsor and the artists could be staying at Wilshire.. since they have stayed with the Wilshire Grand hotel for previous HB stays. Who knows

Smile-jw can you give me some vivid examples? How are you 100% sure their staying there.
If in fact they are, theres like 3 different sheraton hotels in LA.

Good Luck

^ I think Sheraton being a sponsor just means that the artists are MORE likely to stay there. Wilshire Grand isn't that nice, tbh. :X

thats what im thinking as well.. more likely and a possibility that they will stay there, but who knows. Wilshire Grand Executive suites are nice

are there break times at the concert? thanks in advance

Like I said in my other post, most artists stay at the hotel sponsoring, and its more likely~ I never said I was 100% sure.
But as in example, for the past HBs, most of the artists stayed at the hotels that were sponsoring the event.


Yup~ in the middle of the concert there is about a 15-20 minute break. :D

Gah typo, i was actually gonna write what make you so sure about this?.. i guess i got carried away and wrote 100%.

Its most likely to a possibility chance wise, but its better just keeping quite about it.. after giving it a tought. Like i mentioned before theres about 3 Sheraton hotels in LA. Which one? no body knows. people could be booking the wrong hotels and paying more for a room.. to see nothing.

Im over this matter. Did KHYPE announce the last release date? This waits killing me

\

^^ nope not yet

i can't wait for the final list as well, hopefully it someone big, rather than 2 small ones. or better yet, two big artists!!

I know, omg. I'm reallllllllllllllyyyyy hoping it's someone big too, but judging how HB is a month and 2 weeks away, they need to get replacements a.s.a.p., so it might be 2 small ones.
But oh well! Whoever it is, I'm still excited/happy!

im actually sad...so many changes...why??!!!....FIRST OF ALL, Hyori n Wonder Girls got taken off the list....2ND OF ALL-->SEVEN N BIG BANG arent on the list yet...n 3rd the waiting is soo long...well i jus hope that the waiting is worth it to see 2 famous artists that i heart....n FINALLY da sponsors are being switched...i already booked at wilshire n da only reason we booked there is to see sum artists but now we dont even know where they gonna really be at..cant MBC and SBS get along??!!they should be promoting their artists!!!!


p.s. however, i know i be hella happy n hyphy on da day of the concert!!!!still got DBSK n SUPER JUNIOR T!!!!n dang koreanmusicfestival.com did hella updated their website!
