The sorry state of H.O.T concert - so much for the longer career of BTS

All these people who had argued for a 'longer career' for BTS are thoroughly debunked now Huntr/x and Saja Boys have redefined the paradigm of KPop. I have already written a few times that IU is finished since her style of music received a fatal blow.

Longer career for a dancing act is simply laughable.

I have said a few times that the next round of concert for BTS will be its last for a very long time, just like this round of BlackPink concert would be the last for quite a long time as the members begin to look for their own interests.

Jang Woohyuk of H.O.T, whose real estate investment was rather successful, seems to be the one organizing this round of H.O.T concert.

But, the reported setlist is such that there would be only 3 songs they would sing together, and each of the 5 members will sing at least 2 solo songs. All of them did have solo albums before. Their songs to teenage fans do not resonate anymore, and , frankly speaking, in late 40s they are too old to dance their hit numbers.

I have heard somewhere that even though Coldplay had the biggest concert after Taylor Swift, this round of tour will be its last since it is becoming too much for them, They are 47-48 years old.

Did those who failed arithmetic seriously think that BTS would be performing their hits , dancing, when they turn 48?

All idols grow old. They won't be able to perform their biggest hits when they turn, say, 45.

BTS missing their best years is a blow they would NEVER recover. Never. To placate the Korean fans, who consist maybe 5% of their world fans.

And it was in vain, after all, since Netflix will be calling the shots in KPop from now on.

Quote from selfmate

that is true not of idols but a lot of musicians

I can't remember who it was but celine dion or kelly clarkson who struggled to perform some of their earlier stuff as they got older

Even Lee Jieun is not performing her older songs which are more demanding, sticking with the whispering style of songs post 2020

Singers' ability get weak as time goes on. And that phenomenon is more pronounced for dancing acts

Quote from Jasque-O-Part2

"All idols grow old. They won't be able to perform their biggest hits when they turn, say, 45."

Except Lee Jieun.

She is not a dancing idol

And she no longer performs her more demanding songs sung when she was younger

Quote from Bottles

By the time they reach their 50s, we might be in a nightmarish scenario such as AI holograms dancing on stage, perhaps being sung by AI clones of their younger voices too, or real humans dancing whilst getting the faces of the members deepfaked onto them in real time through drone carried projectors.

Already happening. Plave concerts are like that

Quote from tetetete

They can simply not dance to the songs, they have already done performances while sitting down that's always an option

Nothing much they can do about enlistment, hybe did try it's best to get them out of the enlistment circus

Nothing? If Hybe had relocated to the overseas they would move out of Korea and never return there again and avoid all that, and let the Korean fans cringe

Saja Boys will never enlist. The people who sang it are all Americans.

Quote from supa

They can always change the choreo easier when they get older. There are hong kong singers doing tours when they are 60.

That is why soloists last longer. They have plenty of songs to sing when they get older. Dance groups do not have such luxury

Quote from tetetete

Please don't give hybe more ideas

It is said that in plave concerts, actual dancers make the movements, with the character's faces put on them.

Hybe will let its trainees dance in BTS' image if it goes that far.
