K Pop concerts (1 Viewer)

[SeulPika]

Has anyone here been to a K Pop concert before? If you have who did you go and see and what was the experience like?

I saw Taeyeon back in 2017 during her Persona Tour in Seoul through SM's Global Package.

Taeyeon was the first K Pop act that I ever saw live and the experience felt surreal. It was always my dream seeing SNSD and whilst I still need to see the entire group. I have at least seen my UB and Taeyeon's concert is hands down the best concert that I've ever been to!
When people say that she eats CDs they aren't joking! Taeyeon started the concert with U R and the sensation was like being hit by a brick wall of noise. Her vocals are just that damn strong and powerful.
She performed all of my favourite songs (as well as the entire My Voice album) and to top it all off during the concert I shouted "Love you Taeyeon" and she responded with a "Love you too"....

Next up I saw Blackpink at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka only a few months ago!

This entire series of events felt like an entire dream to me. Because I entered a online competition that was giving away a free package for Blackpink (concert ticket & hotel) and I didn't think that I would win but I entered nonetheless. So you can imagine my shock when I received a email confirming that I was going to be seeing Blackpink!
Right up till before the concert I kept thinking surely this isn't happening but before I knew it was was through the ticket gates and at my seat. That was it! I was about to see Blackpink, and my god what a concert it was!
Boombayah pretty much destroyed my ears as expected. DDDD, Forever Young & Kiss And Make Up were thumping (well all of the songs were), Stay is just another worldly experience. And the girls.... OMG! They are so beautiful in the flesh! There was one moment towards the end where they were only meters away from me!

Finally we have Red Velvet who I saw only a few weeks ago twice on both nights in Yokohama as a part of their Redmare tour.

Unlike previous concerts where I brought through the global package or won the tickets. These tickets were brought through general sale which is a damn stressful experience (well for my sister in law back in Japan it was lol)
What can I say about the experience of seeing Red Velvet live..... The concert is like a story. With the combination of the VCRs and the songs chosen, its like you are travelling through a story with Red Velvet. And my god what a story it is!
At nearly 30 songs for the setlist this is a jam packed set list as the girls leave you mesmerised with their talent and extensive discography. And have I mentioned yet just how beautiful they are in the flesh?
Irene is truly a goddess! Joy leaves you stunned which is as expected of Miss Sexy Dynamite. Yeri has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Wendy just continues to glow with beauty and then there is Seulgi.... My beloved bear. I could've died from seeing her in the flesh.

And soon I am seeing Blackpink again in London! (I am also still praying to see Twice. Because seeing them at M Countdown during the What Is Love? promotions wasn't enough)

Of course. What questions do you have with regards to the global package?

I have been just to Block B's in Helsinki in 2015, it was pretty small club concert, all tickets were same standing tickets and there was probably bit over 1000 people there. It was actually quite short and they didn't perform that many songs, but they had quite long talks between the songs- tons of fanservice and just funny skits like dance battles, i think they even had Q&A.

And one of most memorable thing was when U Kwon suddenly sang Ievan Polkka, which is not only popular Hatsune miku song, but also finnish folk song, and pretty much everyone from audience just joined in and he was so surprised people knew the song xd It was pretty precious moment. Beware of SCREAMING though xd


The boys had lot of charisma and it was definitely funniest concert i have been. It was quite drastically different from what i have seen before which are pretty much just rock concerts so seeing kpop idols dance and sing and rap let's not forget Zico and P.O was pretty great and they did that well despite small stage.

Unless VIXX comes to the States, I doubt I will go to one :')

I saw Drug Restaurant in the middle of 2017 and it was my first ever concert overall and I loved it! They sounded even better live and it was just such a fun and lovely experience.

I've been to four and a half.

SHINee: I liked it a lot but I went there a long time ago (I went to their 1st concert (2010) & their 3rd (2014) (Seoul)

EXO: I was very close up to the stage so that was fun (I went during the war era) (Japan)

NCT (going to the one in Japan in March)


hopefully red velvet soon~

I have been to many in my life. However I want to see StrayKids and Astro before I die. Other than them I have seen all my favorites live.

 

[COWBOY]

Of course. What questions do you have with regards to the global package?

I guess what country you're originally from, how your flight was, how the hotel was, how the other people were, etc. I read somewhere that when they give you your actual ticket for the concert, it's random and you don't know where you'll sit until you look at whichever ticket you drew?

 

[COWBOY]

Unless VIXX comes to the States, I doubt I will go to one :')

They did come, I saw them twice in NYC ;__; I wish you had been there with me!

Once was an actual solo tour/showcase in 2014, and yes the other was KCON.

I wanted to go to blackpink concert but they cost to much money, it’s $297 and my sister and I both want to go, but our parents won’t let us go by ourselves so that’s like $891 dollars T^T. I wanted to go to Ateez concert but there lowest selling tickets are like 300 dollars and i’m to broke for that! but have fun!

I've never gone to one, though I will be picking up resale tickets for BP when it gets closer to the date and the scalpers start to panic.
