Give me your favorite group and I will say one thing I dislike about them

Twice’s This is For World Tour is currently at 73 shows, across 4 continents and 19 countries. I have been hearing so many complaints from Onces, saying that this tour is “too big” and “should have been a stadium tour (with less stops)”. While I understand that they are doing a lot of shows back to back, most of these shows of these are in North America (30 in USA, 4 in Canada). So travel won’t be a major issue during this time. Especially because the first part of the NA leg is divided up into two parts (there is a two week gap in between their Dallas->Washington days). Meaning, for their NA leg they are spending about 4 months touring the USA. So how is does this compare to other artists? Here are some other tours from the past 5 years that also have a lot of dates with “little” time in between (and where the artist is dancing / moving a lot during their shows to make it fair). Lady Gaga - Mayhem Ball Tour 84 dates (+2 Coachella shows), almost exactly 1 year in between start and end date (mostly usa) Taylor Swift - Eras Tour 146 dates, a year and 8 months from start to finish (global) Blackpink - Born Pink 66 dates (+2 Coachella performances if you want to add that), 11 months from start to finish (global) Pixy - Karma is a B 42 dates, 1 month and 6 days from start to finish (usa only) Beyoncé - Cowboy Carter 32 dates, almost 3 months from start to finish (almost entirely USA outside of 5 London shows and 3 Paris shows) Above were tours that had a focus on artists who had most of their performances in the USA and or many dates within a year. I can even bring up some other artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Katy Perry, Tate McCrae, and more but I think you get the point. I am just saying that the schedule of performing a show and then getting a 1-2 day break in between is normal even for those with a longer tour in different areas. But why not do stadiums? Why “waste” their time by doing several arena shows? Very popular artists will do residences in arenas when they can sell out stadiums choose to do arena for many reasons but here are some generic ones: •Weather. We all saw how the disaster that was Stray Kid’s Dominate show in DC, with how the rain cut / canceled the show early and caused fans (on the GA floor who camped pit for good views) to leave causing messes and people losing their spots. I believe heat was another issue in I THINK Arlington as well. I believe one of these venues were a baseball stadium and the other was a regular outdoor stadium. •Intimacy. Many artists have said that they prefer smaller venues as it enhances the experience for both fans and the artist. Especially conceptual / Theatrical shows such as the Mayhem Ball tour rely on this closeness i order to follow along with the story that is being told. The immersion is best when the audience can see the artist and the stage clearly. •The shows presentation / design itself. Twice’s tour stage is probably the most advanced I have ever seen, especially for a Kpop tour. this kind of flexibility is highly unlikely-impossible to have in a stadium. Even for SoFi Stadium (where most people are complaining about the 6 California shows), a closed off stadium, i HIGHLY doubt the integrity of the show would be possible. and lastly, and arguably the most important: the sound *An artist’s tour I would like to compare to Twice’s, who did a 360-show in a stadium is Metallica on their M72 Tour. * There were many complaints of people not being able to properly hear them because of the way sound travels throughout a venue, even if you were in the lower bowl. If you would like a technical breakdown of what the problems of the setup were and how that problem can be similar to Twice’s (if they did do a stadium tour instead), please check out the the YouTuber “Chris Hammill Audio”. Their video (that I cannot link for some reason) is extremely detailed and throughly explains why the 360-stage design in a stadium would not work. My final point is more at k-pop generally. I understand that Kpop is technically popular and not niche anymore, but artists still relying on the same 5 popular cities for all their tours isn’t normal. Twice branching out and coming to less-attending cities is a great step in the right direction and a great sign to those living everywhere in the US that isn’t Los Angeles, Dallas, or New York. If you are one of the people who are discrediting this tour saying it should have been stadiums, please try to understand that Stadiums that aren’t always the best way to go about a show! We all know Twice isn’t “flopping”, we know they can sell out stadiums anywhere, they just don’t need to anymore. At this point in their career they are focusing on the Art and Fans, not huge numbers (even though they are still pulling huge numbers, already surpassing their last stadium in terms of attendance). I know this was a lot of rambling, but I hope it made sense. I can clarify if needed. submitted by /u/ICMAGU [link] [comments]

She performed it for the last time today 😭 (ITZY'S fanmeet japan day 3) She somehow improved by a hugeeee amount if that was even possible. And she looked stunning... Hoping if she decides to go solo in the future, she does a concept like this ❤️ [ITZY's Ryujin - Standing Next to You (Jungkook)] submitted by /u/Gold_Meaning3688 [link] [comments]

This question has been on my mind recently and it really got me thinking about who I considered to have the best Debut in my opinion and after thinking this question over and going through my mind about all the kpop debuts I know of for me the best Debut is NCT U. Now I'm not even a nctzen, but when NCT U came out with 7th sense in 2016, it blew my mind. It was different from what I was hearing in K-pop around that time period along with the visuals, and the dance was killer. I was watching dance cover after dance cover of that song. It was such a good mash up of amazing raps and killer vocals. I still really love the song till this day, like that song never gets old for me. That's why, for me, NCT U still has the best debut still in my opinion. Now, I would like to hear what everyone else's opinions are for best debut. submitted by /u/GoodVibes10000 [link] [comments]

My personal opinion, nothing against ANY group. Like: ateez ver. 1 (I think it’s the most beautiful I’ve seen), dreamcatcher, loona, shinee, nmixx Dislike: blackpink, the boyz, cherry bullet, and any lightstick with a sphere and the name of the group inside 😭 submitted by /u/AnnDalbit [link] [comments]

This absolutely no hate to kpop demon hunters but I'm Soo tired of it being tied into everything kpop. Like I'll get ads for kpop events or programs and they'll promote it using kpop demon hunters. Not to mention people keep asking me about it just because I like kpop, but honestly that's just me. submitted by /u/Loaksweirdness [link] [comments]

Just finished listening to the Blue Valentine album as a non-nswer and oh my gosh. Going into this I didn't want to get attached but when I tell you I loved so many songs on that album, genuinely so much... I'm so obsessed with Reality Hurts and Blue Valentine, but Shape of Love omgg... I think that's gonna be one of my favorite kpop songs of all time. It's heavenly. And it got me thinking- Jype's recent comebacks for all groups are insanely good, and imo, a lot better than the ones earlier this year. I vastly prefer Blue Valentine over Know About Me (even though Know About Me has grown on me lol). Kickflip's Band-Aid and My First Love Song are genuinely so good and imo way better than Mama Said and Freeze. Girls Will Be Girls by Itzy was good but Rock & Roll was incredible. I don't know if we can count Twice's one since it's a special album, but I do like Me+U a lot better than This Is For. I know this is just my opinion and other people probably think differently, but I do hope this streak continues. Rock/pop rock really suits Jype groups. submitted by /u/Far-Squirrel5021 [link] [comments]

I love this song a lot so having twice as much of it is literally a dream come true! Both Baila and Superhero are really good and feel like complete songs that tell a story on their own . The vocal delivery is fantastic(as always with Nmixx). Plus, it itches my brain in just the right way to be able to listen to each song on their own but also combine them! So yeah, thank you Nmixx for brightening my monday!! submitted by /u/Phi_the_lemon [link] [comments]
