Now I want to see my faves perform on these types of sets

I can't complain because the MANIAC tour stage was epic (especially VENOM stage)

but it would be cool having bigger and like more cooler stages

MOTS:7 tour was gonna be like that. I hate Covid

Are they seriously comparing rando idol concerts with literal BEYONCE AND TAYLOR SWIFT concerts??? Those American concert sets look like they're set in huge stadiums or arenas. Most Korean concerts are set in literal gymnasiums since nobody in Korea wants to spend money for them.

If Knetz are serious about wanting Kpop to invest in better stages, then pay the higher ticket prices and stop complaining about them and get more friends to actually buy them so that the labels and promoters can count on 20k, 30k, 40k or more for each concert instead of the 6k gymnasiums ffs.

One thing i will say is that stages without a live band can definitely feel like a cover dance group performance and not a real concert. You have the same music from the album piped in to the speakers and the idols are generally lip syncing. I dont blame them, nobody would be able to hit the kinda notes idol songs demand while dancing, imagine trying to sing a song like Panorama while actually dancing lol, and i dont blame the labels of nugu groups for not having live bands since that's probably a considerable added cost and wouldnt make sense for a small concert.

But the richer labels and top selling groups could try to incorporate live bands into their tours to get more of that true live concert feeling. And adjust the choreo when necessary so that the specific member singing is allowed to just stand and hit the notes live without having to worry about choreo.

If I compared recent world tours from BP and Twice etc to the likes of those from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, The Weekend etc, it’s a joke. The staging, big screens etc was average compared to the US artists. I mean Beyoncé’s backup dancers worn some outfits on par with the idols themselves. Kpop definitely need to step up their game, you can tell those Western artists really setup the tour they wanted from every aspect, they had control. That’s the difference between artists and idols. You could tell YG and JYP was thinking money first…..Well let’s see what BTS has in store but likelihood it will be much of the same, I think if they did a big scale concert stretching to 3-4 million then potentially we could see some effort in staging etc

I wonder if there's a difference between the "bigger" groups and some of the less bigger groups???

Hopefully, BTS work with them again. They did great with Beyonce's stage set so they would have done an amazing job with MOTS tour. Kinda sad they weren't able to show what they have prepared because it got cancelled.

it's useless to compare western celebrities tours are usually sponsoredso they can afford better stage decoration , costumes

bts usually has good stage decor
