A lot of the acts in the billboard link I put in the main post are older, so their fans are older as well. And they are still planning to have the concerts.

I think 2022 will probably be the earliest concerts start up again
Well, Celine Dion, Michael Buble and Harry Styles are planning to have concerts this year.

Whyknock is a student of history and when whyknock was browsing a bunch of articles whyknock encountered this
https://www.billboard.com/arti…heduled-coronavirus-list/
Celine Dion and Michael Buble are doing world tours, although some are still dithering. Harry Styles also plans to do a North American tour.
That means the singers know the world will kind of reopen
But there is no news from Big Hit to resume a world tour, and ditto to most other Kpop companies.
I am sure the biggest amount of money comes from tours so they would rather do that, but if they launch the tours, they can't return to K-o-r-e-a easily.
That means, as the trot craze subsides a bit, Whyknock's alleged bias could attempt to retake KPop again. The evidence is that she is now not announcing when her supposed new album would be released - she might be waiting till Big Hit and others announce their world tours so she could take over the empty Korea , telling Director Koreeda, who is said to direct a film with her, to get lost for a while.
(I am not sure whether Director Koreeda knows IU is a singer since IU's Japanese stint was not remarkable. She was probably recommended through Bae Doona, who had worked with Koreeda before, but if IU can re-climb the throne she had lost to BTS, Koreeda takes a back seat.)
As BTS and others travel outside Korea to fulfill their overdue concert obligations, Whyknock's alleged bias , plus the trottists, re-flood the Korean Pop scene.

so one can only be a Kpop artist when they are known is the US?
wtf, IU is a Korean POPULAR Music singer, she is treated above idol league but was seen as one during her rookie days
Another so-called "intelligent fans" who only see foreign=USA
Never knew China and the whole SEA is a part of Korea
On 2017 IU did exactly one foreign concert, at Hong Kong. So by that time her Chinese fame also had faded.
Only after the success of her dramas that she began to have more extensive concerts in SE Asia

I think you mistaken their names. Their Korean name is DBSK ( Dong Bang Shin Ki) and their Japanese name is Tohoshinki- TVXQ (Chinese Tong Vfang Xien Qi) In other words, the group has 3 known names in Korean, Chinese and Japanese, and TVXQ is the name they generally use right now. Like Girls Generation. Their name is Girls' Generation, but they are also known as SNSD because their Korean name is " Sonyeo Sidae " The remaining two members of the group are generally known as TVXQ, Changmin and Yunho mostly work in Japan, and it is this two-man group, TVXQ, that broke the record.
I call the 5 member era as TVXQ and the 2 member era as DBSK since the two eras are so different.

Baekhyun didn’t scream Tokyo dome for this disrespect.

why lol?
Display MoreActually, TVXQ performed at the Nissan stadium.
TVXQ set several records with their Time tour, which commenced at the Saitama Super Arena in April 2013. The duo became the first K-pop artist and the fourth foreign artist to embark on a five-dome tour,[139] and were the first foreign musical act to perform at the Nissan Stadium as a headlining artist.[140] The tour attracted a record audience of 850,000 people.[141] The tour grossed US$90 million, breaking Tone's record.[142]
And actually they broke a record by giving concerts there for 3 consecutive days.
In January 2018, Tohoshinki announced three shows at Nissan Stadium, as a grand finale of the tour, thus becoming the only foreign artists to perform at the venue twice, as well as the first artists to hold concerts at Nissan Stadium across three consecutive days.[23] They bring 225,000 fans from the 3 shows, to bring the total attendance to a million, making TVXQ the first overseas artist to mobilize millions of fans on a single tour in Japan.[24] They are reported to gain a revenue of 56,1 billion won (~50,4 million USD) for only 3 days concert in Nissan Stadium. More revenue were made from the concert goods than the tickets (with 29 billion won and 27,1 billion won separately).[25]
The 5 member TVXQ did not

actually BlackPink is trying to break the mold.
But, in Korea, men do not spend too much money which might be a cause that ggs do not have bigger events there
-
OK I will add. My source did not have it
-
but still it is considered the first concert in the new kokuritsu
Yes, they can give themselves such title, but the honor will go to the first actual act which does a full concert at the new location.

What about 23? What about her early days? Good day? You &I? The red shoes? Jam Jam?
Solo artists like Ailee still count as K-Pop even though they do not sound like K-Pop groups.
None of them really popular among foreign fans
Ailee is an American singing R&B so her style was always different and she always had one foot in USA
-
Maybe, although I would probably go crazy seeing all these Uaenas.

Japan has a bigger concert culture and casuals spend a good amount of money to see live shows as an entertainment opportunity
In SK only fans attend to these shows
No idea about the average price of tickets in those countries
The prices are roughly the same, around $120 for average seats and increasing as they get closer to their artist.
There are a few concerts where casual fans do attend, for example the concert held by whyknock's favorite subject.

arashi already had a concert in the new kokuritsu, arafes 2020
With no audience
https://aramajapan.com/news/gr…um-online-concert/109383/
Arashi played their event with no audience and 70,000 unmoving lights.

IU has played her ambiguous status for quite a long time. She styles herself as an artist although she has topped the Idol ranking on 2015 and 2017, and her song is not KPop at all.
That aside, she has not given up her attempts to capitalize on the kpop craze as well which is why she has sung BbiBbi and now Celebrity.
-
IU is probably the only major singer in the KPop era to do bigger concerts in Korea than elsewhere (and she can't even hold a fan meeting in Japan anymore).
She has sung a grand total of two Kpop songs in her entire career (Bbibbi, her first Kpop song, and now Celebrity) geared towards international popularity
-
because Korea has no concert culture
I have also noticed that kpop fans idealize the Nissan Stadium too much, in Japan the three most prestigious venues for concerts are Nippon Budokan, Tokyo Dome and Kokuritsu, Nissan is only big, for examplo Arashi never played in Nissan, but they are practically the owners of Kokuritsu, which is much more important
Kokuritsu has been torn down to make the new stadium for the olympics, which is in doubt now (no preliminary events have been played).
Nippon Budokan is important for Japanese artists since performing there is kind of a confirmation that they have made it into the mainstream, but in Korea, the Gymnastic Arena serves that purpose so it is not really necessary for them to perform there if they could get bigger audiences elsewhere

The same reason why many western artist skip over Korea and do multiple shows in Japan.
YEs, Korea has less venues and there are less people attending regularly
