What are your main reasons for not going to a K-POP concert?

besides money they wont come here in this nuguland, so that means i have to travel to another country to watch their concert thats too much cost imo

I hate crowds

I will only tolerate them for my one and onlys

i mean i could go to the capital of my country but even then i don't even remember the last time a group i had an interest in visited my country

my faves never toured close to where i live and even if they did i wouldn't go. before ukranian war only a concert ticket was worth one month's rent. add plane, hotel, and other stuff. so, yeah, no

at the risk of sounding like a jerk I just cant find the time

nobody comes to my neck of the woods

Nobody tours Australia? For real?
Also, if you were able to go a KPOP concert you would?

no they come to Australia

they just don't come to my state (and remember Australia is a big big country)

they mostly visiting the East compared to my west...

depends on who comes (my favs - I'd consider it)

Quote from Rainbowlicious

Ohh I see. So even though your country isn't that big, it'd still cost a lot and take a while to travel to the opposite side of where you live?

Ooh interesting!

That reminds me, I see a lot of people here voting that their faves haven't been to their area and I feel really bad because these artists get the largest countries and cities of their tour. Or at least those with a high concentration of KPOP fans. But even so, they'll go to the largest cities of those countries. I know it's impossible to reach everywhere but I'm kind of sad that they can't.

Like it's also still crazy to me that Twice hasn't been able to have a formal concert in Europe. I'm not remotely sure why. The members talk a lot about how they want to tour there so IDK.

no I said Australia IS a big big country lol

and yes a flight from where I am to over east would be min 4 hours flight

I'm not sad about it because even if they do come I'm not sure whether I'd go...

I'm sure they will eventually - slow stepping stones

They almost never come to my state, and when they do, it’s a city 2-3 hours away, so not all that close. I don’t have the money, it would likely interfere with school which is not good and I’m just worried about safety in general. Like, if people will get violent, too much crowding, drugs or alcohol and stuff like that. I might be brave enough to go by myself if it’s at least in-state and one of my ults, but I might still be worried inside. I can’t really go with a friend because I don’t really have any real life friends that are into it, especially as much as I am, so they probably wouldn’t enjoy it quite as much and I’d feel guilty for dragging them along.

I've never had a problem going alone to Kpop concerts. The crowds seemed well behaved to me. I got to talking to other folks around me in line and near my seats at the ITZY concert, and they were all amazing people.

But it does help if you know other people that are going to be there. Luckily we have a community right here that you can meet up with folks at pretty much any major concert!

That does reassure me a bit. Oh, you’re right! You have a point there. If I ever go to a K-Pop concert in state, I’m taking you with me.

If it's any of our favs, I'm probably already planning on going!

That’s true. Awesome, I look forward to seeing you there (when I can go anyway).
