Knox Pop Con celebrated a milestone this month when a private K-Pop Demon Hunters themed birthday party became more than just an event—it became an investment in our community's future.
Local youth performers Maddie, Spencer, and Lilia brought the energy and artistry that Knox Pop Con is becoming known for, delivering choreography inspired by K-Pop's signature demon hunter aesthetic. The performance showcased exactly what our organization is building: young talent stepping into the spotlight and developing real performance skills through Asian pop culture.
The family generously designated proceeds from the event to support Knox Pop Con's upcoming Holiday Pop Bash, a collaboration with UT's Kpop Appreciation Association (KPAA) hosted at Nama. These funds will help bring additional performers to the stage, expanding opportunities for our community to experience live K-Pop performance.
The Holiday Pop Bash lineup will feature Equinox, Knox Kpop Group (KKG), and additional performers to be announced closer to the event date.
This is exactly how Knox Pop Con operates: community supporting community. One family's celebration directly fuels opportunities for more young performers to shine. Every party booking, every cupsleeve event, every sponsorship—it all cycles back into creating more stages, more experiences, and more pathways for East Tennessee youth.
