89th Comic Convention, Seoul.

with 2 comments

The first time at having a chance to visit a large comic convention came up today and I couldn’t resist jumping at the opportunity to head over and check it out. It was well worth going to; many people showed up in magnificent costumes and the convention itself, whilst being amateur, had a whole lot of talented artists displaying their goods. I would of liked to support the comic creators but of course the comics are in Korean.

Here is a selection of photographs from the convention:

I really liked this one and the girl was happy to pose.

Great costume and I like the hair colour.

The hanguel reads: “If the game is too easy it’s not fun.” Not idea what game it’s referring too.

I’ve no idea what character she is, but it’s a neat outfit.

I thought this may have been Cloud from Final Fantasy VII, but maybe not. The chicken costume guy… don’t ask!

The girl on the left was very pretty. I know the second group of girls, they’re dressing up as Chobits.

  1. Argh.. Some of them behave for sure, but i think bunch of cosplay kids just can’t help misbehaving. they bother people in public places… using public toilets as their own dressing room, annoying people in parks which are not provided for cosplayers. it hasn’t been changed for 10 years since i first visited those kind of events.

  2. Is that the case? Seems like you have some bad history with them.
