KCON 2018 NY finalized its lineup Wednesday (May 9) with the addition of the boy band Golden Child.
The 10-member boy band debuted last year with their EP Gol-cha! under Woollim Entertainment, home to INFINITE and Lovelyz. They followed it up with the release of their second EP Miracle in January. Between the two albums, they’ve released three singles and explored retro pop-rock and synth-pop sounds through “DamDaDi,” “It’s U” and “Lady.”
