People who have been to ​kpop concerts; what do you li​ke about them?

Quote from bestofworst

i've never been to one; but seeing online videos of some groups concerts; it appears to me that it will be too crowded and far away to see your idols properly. Even during concerts you will end up seeing them on the big screen and only distantly in real. Unless you can pay for front rows. Background music and crowd is too loud to hear their singing properly. Only benefit is getting to meet fans of same group in your city and having a fun time with crowd. That is my opinion.

Can those who attended concerts tell what they liked about it?

I love concerts - not just in Kpop, but in other genres of music. It is dependent on the size of the venue and where you sit and what you want to experience. In large venues, yes, you may probably watching a lot on the screens, while in smaller venues you can more clearly see the artists.

In live performances, it’s not just the crowd that’s excited, the performers are excited too and get hyped by the crowd’s response, with enthusiasm and energy in their performances that don’t get fully captured in someone’s crappy phone recording. (Additionally, many phones struggle with balancing the light and dark, as well as the focus. I’d add that judging the sound quality based on people’s cell phone videos doesn’t really give an accurate view of sound quality.)

In addition to the energy level of live performances, you often get so much more: unique arrangements (such as the acoustic EXO set in EXO’rdium), a clearer, more poignant vocal (the Neo City version of “No Longer”) or unexpected collaborations (the Baek and Mark version of UN Village at SM Town.

The nature of a live performance is that it essentially is not going to be as polished and precise as a carefully controlled music show performance or a music video with multiple takes. If someone blows a line or has a voice crack or accidentally breaks the lightstick, that’s part of the charm.

You can get seats further back where it’s not crowded if you don’t want to be crowded. It’s only that way closer to the stage where people want to see and hope to interact with the artists, whether it’s catching one of the signed balls or just getting a wink and a smile from their face, esp. when cell phones are up to record.

Personally, I’m not there just to “see” my faves’ faces in person but rather to experience a live performance, so seeing their faces on a high def screen doesn’t bother me.

I also understand that the experience at a Kpop concert is going to be different than other concerts - the amount of excited screaming girls during each song was a very different experience at a NCT 127 concert than a Bruno Mars concert. But then you also everyone doing fanchants and the whole audience singing along to songs, which is an awesome experience.

I’ve made some new friends at concerts and enjoyed them with old ones, and it’s another part of the fun to hang out with people who like you are so damned excited to see their faves.

Tl, dr: Performers love to perform for an audience and I enjoy the energy and enthusiasm of the performers and fellow fans, as well as hearing different versions and live vocals of their songs.

1) The energy, vibe, excitement of the venue.

To meet so many fans like myself who I don't get to meet irl.

2) I got to see my fave irl.

The happiness I felt seeing my faves perform irl

after listening to their songs for a million times on Spotify

can never be duplicated.

It was a such fantastic experience I will never ever forget

I've been to 4 BTS concerts (1 arena, 3 stadiums) and the energy is euphoric to the point where it's a common experience to not remember much of the concert afterwards because the sustained adrenaline rush is so intense. You get that rush no matter where you sit- up close or nosebleeds- so there's no bad seat and that energy is a major reason why I love going to BTS shows.

I've not seen any other kpop acts in concert, although I'd love to see TXT.

I’ve never been to one and not likely to as not many groups come to Australia.
