San Diego Comic-Con showcases HYBE booth and high‑profile after‑hours parties

Comic-Con International in San Diego attracted over 135,000 attendees for four days of pop‑culture programming. One of the most coveted after‑hours events was the Fandom Party held on the rooftop of the Hard Rock Hotel’s Float bar. The party offered an open bar, custom merchandise, a Halo‑themed play zone, and a surprise performance by The Coverups, a band led by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.

At the expo floor, South Korean entertainment conglomerate HYBE presented its Original Story “DARK MOON” booth, highlighting the ENHYPEN webtoon franchise. The series has logged more than 2 billion cumulative views worldwide, topped North American charts for 26 weeks, and spawned a soundtrack album and an animated adaptation released on Crunchyroll in eight languages.
