Hey did you know that a group in Korea is planning to hold a convention for Undertale fans?? I’ve been seriously considering going because it sounds like a wild adventure! So I’ve been digging up information and chatting with the organizers, and I wanted to lay some things out for other English-speaking fans who might be curious :)
The convention will be held in Seoul, Korea. They are still refining the details, but it will either be held on January 14th or January 21st, 2017. Their twitter account is the main source of info and updates: https://twitter.com/UT_ONLY
While the event is (obviously!) Korean, the organizers do speak English and there will be English-speaking staff to help. They are hoping to attract fans from around the world :D There will be artists and cosplay! I think general attendance tickets are going on sale sometime in July.
For the time being they are trying to gather information from people who are interested in going. If you’re thinking about it, this is the form to express your interest! https://form.office.naver.com/form/responseViewMobile.cmd?formkey=MWI4ZjAxNjAtZjdkMC00ZWViLTliZTgtNTI4Njk0NTA2M2Yy
Tickets will go on sale on June 18th and August 7th, but there will also be tickets sold at the show.
Update: new! Twitter account for English info twitter.com/UT_ONLY_ENGLISH
The group is taking great care to do this well… they’ve been in contact with Toby to clarify what he will permit for fan-produced merchandise, they’ve been contacting AU artists to clarify their permission for art based on their AUs. It’s a difficult thing to do and I’m really impressed with how hard they are working for the love of the game. They even require that anyone selling or cosplaying must have purchased the game and played several hours! (to ensure only true fans are attending).
I don’t know more information than this…. (sorry!!) but I will share additional details when I get them. Man, I really want to goooooooooooo! XD
