"We are proud to be involved as a co-promotor. KOSTCON for us is a form of emotional celebration, nostalgia, and cross-cultural connection. We also ensure accessibility for all, including persons with disabilities," Aulia said at a press conference in Kuningan, South Jakarta, Wednesday, July 9.
As a form of appreciation and inclusivity, KOSTCON is collaborating with Maria total Wish Foundation (MMLW) which was founded in 2006 by Natalia Tjahja, a social activist who is committed to helping children and people with disabilities.
Together with MMLW, this concert presents a special surprise, namely 10 VVIP tickets specifically for disabled teenagers, so that they also have the opportunity to experience watching their dream concert firsthand.
Not only music performances, KOSTCON Jakarta also presents a fan engagement program in the form of karaoke challenges, KOSTCON Noraebang, with the main prize in the form of a trip to South Korea for 3 lucky people.
