Tonight’s collaboration honors the deep connection between Los Angeles and South Korea and the Korean culture that plays a major part in the city’s identity. BMO Stadium, LAFC’s home, is no stranger to Korean culture, as the venue has quickly become a staple location of major K-pop tours. Most recently, SEVENTEEN played two shows at BMO as part of their “NEW_” world tour. As part of the sponsorship, fans can enjoy Korean-inspired eats while enjoying a choreographed light show set to HYBE artist tracks at today’s match.
