25 April:
In addition to One Way’s Chance, Clara C, and Jennifer Chung, allkpop is excited to announce that dumbfoundead, IZ, iammedic, and Arden Cho will be visiting our official booth on the day of the music festival to sign autographs and take photos!
In anticipation for this weekend, we’ve compiled a quick 411 of each guest — check it out below:
ARDEN CHO : : Model, actress
Biography: Even if she claims that she’s “just a girl” with her debut single, Arden Cho just might be the closest you can get to perfection — having dabbled in acting, modelling, gymnastics and now singing, Arden’s the epitome of versatile talent. She’s worked with NigaHiga& WongFu Productions and first caught k-pop fans’ attention as the MC for the JYJ World Tour, and with her promising future, we’re sure we’ll be seeing her far more in the future.

CHANCE : : Leader of Hip-Hop/R&B trio One Way
Biography: If you’re an avid allkpop reader, you probably remember Chance from our exclusive one-on-one with One Way last month. As the leader of One Way, Chance not only excels in singing and rapping but has also produced music for both his group and big names including Super Junior, 2PM and SS501’s Hyung Jun. As a Los Angeles native, Chance will be back on his home turf this weekend at Hollywood Bowl.

CLARA C. : : Singer
Biography: Blessed with a beautiful voice and effervescent personality, Clara C’s caught the eyes (or ears, rather) of people around the world with over 2.88 million views on Youtube. She’s further equipped with a dexterity for instruments, having played the piano, guitar, trumpet, percussion, melodica, synthesizers, the glockenspiel and more in her videos. Although Clara won’t be performing this year (she opened KMF with the national anthem in 2010), this will mark her return to Hollywood Bowl, and we’re excited to have such a talented artist joining our ranks.

DUMBFOUNDEAD : : Rapper
Biography: Proclaimed a “walking bag of charisma,” Dumbfoundead is on his own level when it comes to spitting fire. He’s packed with quick-witted rhymes, a sick flow and unquestionable swag, and he’s the king of freestyle. Having gone viral with his videos and over 165,000 Youtube subscribers, it goes without saying that Dumbfoundead’s brilliance possesses endless potential.
Claim to Fame: “Bubba Kush” (rap over Diplo’s beat for GD&TOP’s “Knock Out”), “Charlie Sheen” (with Traphik & Jin) “Clouds” (withClara C & Jay Park)
IAMMEDIC : : Glitch/Electro/Pop Trio
Biography: Consisting of members Enik Lin, Andre Harris and Danny Park, IAMMEDIC refuses to be neatly categorized into one genre. With roots in alternative and screamo, IAMMEDIC possesses an eclectic sound that mixes in some electronica and power pop to create a unique style. With catchy beats and soothing vocals, IAMMEDIC is definitely worth a listen.
Claim to Fame: “Let’s Go”, “Turn Around and Look at ME[DIC]” (DUEX cover), “F#CK iT”

IZ : : Rapper
Biography: One of the most promising artists on the LA rap scene today, IZ is undeniably a force to be reckoned with. Since embarking on his musical career, this artist has been challenged with serious obstacles along the way, but his determination and drive have pulled him through to produce a highly anticipated debut album set to drop with 454 Life Entertainment. IZ possesses a bold attitude bolstered by witty lyricism, and we’re anticipating his rise to the top of the game.
Claim to Fame: “I Party” (with Far East Movement), “On My Feet”
JENNIFER CHUNG : : Singer
Biography: Jennifer Chung’s got the quintessential Youtube success story: as one of the first people to have posted videos of herself singing on the website, Jennifer’s musical career has blossomed not only within the internet’s music community but in the music industry itself. Now signed under the JCPM management company, Jennifer’s got an album lined up for release later this year.
REXROWDEE : : DJ

30 Maret:
Fans who were scrolling the event’s official webpage (koreanmusicfestival.com) noticed that the female quartet was part of the image slideshow, leading many to believe that SECRET will be the final artist to attend. The slideshow also features Bobby Kim and Jeon Young Rok.
Whether or not there will be any other groups in the final batch is still questionable — since these three additions bring the performers list to fifteen (there were twelve parties in 2010), some believe this will be the final listing. As Korea Times hasn’t confirmed whether more artists will be added, stay tuned to allkpop as we continue to follow this matter.
The line-up now includes: SECRET, Jay Park, U-KISS, 4minute, SISTAR, K-Will, Baek Ji-Young, G.NA,DJ D.O.C, Jeong Soo-Ra, Sul Woon Do, Kim Jang-Hoon, Lee Eun-Ha, Bobby Kim and Jeon Young Rok.
