How many times have you seen your favorite groups in person?

I flopped with my year-end song listen count flex thread (still can't believe someone outlistened me on NJ), but I'm confident in this flex thread.

I need to know if there are other people here who have invested the time and money to support their favs in person.

I'm only up to one successful attempt at seeing NewJeans at Lollapalooza (and one failed attempt--screw you KBS).

But for Mamamoo, I've seen them

3x in LA

2x in NY

1x in Nashville, TN

1x in Arizona

3x in Seoul

1x in Tokyo

For a total 11 times seeing them in person.

There is one time Mamamoo came to the states in 2016 (sxsw), where I couldn't see them due to personal matters, but other than that, I have never and will never miss a Mamamoo concert or fanmeeting in the states, and I'm not afraid to travel the world to see them if the timing is right.

Anyone else had the pleasure of seeing their favorites perform?

0 no one comes to Oregon. Well some come to Portland but none that I follow lol

You'd be surprised. Purple Kiss and TxT recently came to my city and I never expected that

That was close to matching and surpassing my Mamamoo count

But almost doesn't count

Impressive though.

Which shows were your favorite?

Quote from Minazuki

My faves don't come to my country

I mean. For my first Mamamoo concert, I flew my ass on a 14 hour flight to Seoul. Their tour only just came to the U.S. for the first time last year....after 9 years

I believe in you. One day you'll be able to see your faves.

Quote from Minazuki

You are cute, Yama

Last year I saw Taylor for the first time after being a fan for over 14 years. So never say never!

Taylor Swift concert tickets are notoriously difficult to come by

I definitely believe in your potential to go see your Kpop favs now

Quote from bubble-head

We were at the same concerts both years.

Ain't that something

Quote from pwswan

I've seen Psy six times: twice in Seoul in 2018 for his summer shows, and three times in Seoul for his end-of-year shows. If I go back to Seoul for concerts, it will definitely be summer.

Sorry, Yama, but I did see the KBS show, and I'm sure the Atinies would have barked at NJ just like they did at Psy.

It's okay. MooMoos and Onces both barked relentlessly at Mamamoo and Twice during their tours.

The biggest fans of the barking by a wide margin:

Moonbyul and Nayeon.

They both barked back every time the fans barked

Quote from ThePhantomThief

Blackpink - Twice.

-Seoul, Oct 16, 2022.

-Sydney, June 16, 2023. Arrived at the concert venue at 3:30am in the freezing cold to get a good spot in the line because I had standing tickets and knew I could get close to the stage. Was 36th in the line! Spent the whole day lining up and meeting other Blinks. Worth it, cause I was literally at the barricade at front of stage.

Dreamcatcher

-Seoul, Oct 28th, 2022 when they made an appearance at the Dreamcatcher fan cafe. YOOHYEON LOOKED AT ME AND GAVE ME THE OLE THUMBS UP!

-Seoul, Oct 30, 2022. Their "Apocalypse" concert where they brought Minx back

Rolling Quartz

-Seoul, Oct 29, 2022. They had a concert in a fuckin rad metal bar in Hongdae. Got free entry for being in a costume. Met a fucking rad Kiwi bloke who was a regular at the bar who basically threw me to the front of the crowd. Close enough to literally touch the members. Got a high five from Jayoung (and also from the lead signer of a really cool, very small time Korean girl rock group, DIH. She was dressed as a Minion!). The Kiwi bloke was friends with DIH and introduced me to them after the show.
I also got one of Arem from RQ (my sig video girls) guitar picks, that she literally threw right into the palm of my hand!

The Arem picture below was taken with no zoom. Thats how close they were.

This was a really cool story. I have my own to share but I'm tired AF so I'll revisit it later. But I just wanted to comment on the awesome interactions you had before I pass out
