[mortal river]

wdym m3

[minor yarrow]

mid field box 3

[mortal river]

ohhh

i had C1

bad view and the only cheap floor tickets

my mom demanded my dad for floor view even though she didn’t go

i also kinda wanted floor

[minor yarrow]

my friend snuck into floor without getting caught

[mortal river]

they asked for wristband

when i entered

we’ll that’s a nice souvenir

[minor yarrow]

they threw their drink somewhere so the guards went away and they got in

or at least that’s how they said they did

idk they had pictures from floor so i’m gonna trust them 😭

Now u guys know why

[mortal river]

oop

wow

they rushed it bruh

[white citrus]

jesus

[mortal river]

i likes it though

:)

[mellow aspen]

You really needed an article to figure out they rushed the tour?

Kidding

[white citrus]

🥲

[torpid basin]

that would be such a fire lockscreen ngl 🤧

[white citrus]

soooo wholesome

[mortal river]

no

just comments

lol

[mellow aspen]

Lol fair enough. Once I heard the World Tour so quickly after the release of the album. I was like bruh lmao

[rotund yacht]

it's like releasing a product in a tech company, just ship it too early when it's not ready and refine it over time

[golden sluice]

would you rather wait longer for a tour? bp/yg can't win lol

[rotund yacht]

nah i'm indifferent, i bet it's hard af to book venues since all types of events are happening

[feral hawk]

I am wondering what's the normal though, I guess started at May for a tour in Oct is not too bad but with all the album/MV production it's definitely too much of a rush

[rotund yacht]

well, they started in seoul in august, so it's more like 3 months lol

[feral hawk]

nah, the tour started at Oct. 16, did you confuse it with the release of PV? 🙂

[rotund yacht]

probably lmao i just woke up not too long ago

oh right it was mid oct

[feral hawk]

they were recording PV at the beginning of March that's when Somi leaked it

[wintry bear]

I love somiiii

[pine swan]

There have been so many videos and discussions around it ever since the Seoul shows.

I enjoyed the shows but I can understand some people's POV on it. It was a very sloppy tour for such a high caliber group

Shows were still amazing though

[austere narwhal]

I knew it when they released the tour timeline

[austere narwhal]

Good to yg that it’s blackpink lol, if it’s not them, it’s hard to solve and run a smooth show

The setlist isnt fully prepared just put down what songs they have choreography already + songs from born pink, mix it done

[mellow aspen]

Oh ya I had a blast but I can understand everyone's gripe with it for sure

[feral hawk]

they could simply add a few more songs and the satisfaction rate would be even higher

[rotund yacht]

ya i wish they did some of the ballad-y songs, you never know, hope not, happiest girl as a subset

[coral vector]

That's not exactly simple but yeah they could I guess?

Two hour show is pretty damn long considering how intense what they do is. Crazy amount of energy required to do a two hour show like that.

[feral hawk]

happiest girl is def. not simple to pull off but other than that adding 3 more songs for encore should be ok

but the whole touring schedule is hectic, so yeah adding 15mins to each show will build up the fatigue

[mellow aspen]

I would've loved me some boombayah

[coral vector]

Concerts are rarely 2.5 hrs long, even for groups who aren't dancing and singing. They are doing A LOT for two hours.

I worry if they can handle all this for 6 or 8 months or whatever the plan is.

[feral hawk]

yeah I personally dont mind but kpop fans have different expectation, most kpop groups would drag it to 3 hours by adding more encore songs and time for interactions

[coral vector]

Kpop groups do 3 hour sets????

Really?

[feral hawk]

that's why I said adding more songs to encore can be a low-effort solution, as encore is less stressful

[mellow aspen]

Ya my cousins who went to BTS also expected longer but they also knew coming there weren't as many songs to begin with and that those boys talk way more than the girls lol

[white citrus]

fr the concert is like the fastest 2 hrs of my life

[coral vector]

That's just insane. Anybody asking for more than their current show is asking too much.

They did a marathon of shows just now in the US. Barely any break.

[feral hawk]

lol what are they talking about for so long? Like BTS dont speak english nearly good as BP

[coral vector]

BTS does 3 hour shows? God damn I can't even believe that.

[mellow aspen]

Idk I didn't go to the concert

But they said they talked more in their show at SoFi

[feral hawk]

I agree as a fan, just most kpop fans with Asian background felt it was too short

[cloud flax]

I feel like 2:15 in total including encore would be perfect

[feral hawk]

Most asian concerts are long

[coral vector]

By the end of the encores their voices sound tired. They aren't hitting notes all that well. I think you'd get diminishing returns on another three encore songs.

[cloud flax]

That’s true I think it just felt like it was really short because it went by so fast

[coral vector]

I would have been happy to get more songs for sure but I thought two hours was a lot for what they do

[feral hawk]

guess 6 concerts in 10 days wont help

[feral hawk]

cause they just have bops after bops!

[white citrus]

time flies when you’re having fun fr

just cuz it feels short to us doesn’t necessarily means it’s a short concert lol

we’re just too busy having the best time of our lives

and don’t want it to end

[feral hawk]

they probably talked about dreams the inspirations kinda stuff, it's just part of their image

[coral vector]

I dunno, I had so much admiration for what they do. It must take so much out of them to do all that for hours. I honestly expected 90 min show before the tour began

[feral hawk]

I wish BP could spend time to talk about female empowerment lol

[mellow aspen]

Like I said. I don't know and they didn't elaborate but they had a blast at both. Maybe more fun at BlackPink cause their seats were closer lol

Don't think other than me, my fam had been very close to the stage. They really felt the effects of that fire lol

[coral vector]

I'm sure you're right. Sounds boring but I know their fans love that.

[mellow aspen]

Just looking at all these squishmallows in my room that I could've given as gifts if they were small enough lol

[feral hawk]

I really wish one day BP can open up for a deeper conversation, the mistreatment they got, the image they got portrayed by media and haters and the reasons deeply rooted in Korean/Kpop fandom culture.

[white citrus]

whew man now would that be a day for sure

😂

it’ll be talked about allllll over the internet fr

[feral hawk]

This group just offered so much to be studied, I know someone did a master thesis on kardashian family, but I would argue BP offered more to be studied given their eastern root and some western background

[mellow aspen]

Guess I'm going back and getting my masters

[sour umbra]

nah i dont think i ould ever go back for a masters

[mellow aspen]

LOL

Would only do mine for sports psych

I already studied it anyway but to get be certified to work with a team

[sour umbra]

if i did it would have to be for continuing my asian studies stuff

[mellow aspen]

That's pretty neat you studied that. I took an Asian-American studies class for my higher-level elective. My favorite class

[sour umbra]

it was a lot of language learning and history of asian countries' governments

and like how they became to be who they are today

stuff like that

[mellow aspen]

That sounds

Not as fun as what I did lol

[sour umbra]

it was fun to some degree

[mellow aspen]

But mine was Asian-American stuff so a little different

[sour umbra]

the language part of it was really fun

[mellow aspen]

Oh ya that part sounds amazing

I'm talking about the sexond part of what you said, the gov stuff lol

For me that's a hard pass

[cloud flax]

wait tenz and kyedae were at sendoff??!!!

[white citrus]

yea they were ult for day 1

that God awfully organized day 1 sendoff

[cloud flax]

yeah I feel bad for people who had that day 1 send off

[white citrus]

same

[cloud flax]

they fr just

[white citrus]

i saw sooooo many complaints online afterwards from day 1 ults

[cloud flax]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-gif-22700131

[white citrus]

but day 2 they fixed it and it was really organized

and wasn’t so rushed

[cloud flax]

smile and wave

yeah I heard day 2 was a lot better

I also think the LA concerts were a bit better than the previous ones

[white citrus]

i mean it may just seem that way cuz it was their first stadium show

so it “stands out”

and it was their last u.s show

[cloud flax]

im saying that just cause of the fireworks tbh

[white citrus]

oh

yea i’m ngl the fireworks did it for me

i cried my ass off

felt like a movie

[cloud flax]

that day 2 when they were laying there'

and just looking at the fireworks

[white citrus]

the most wholesome thing i’ve ever witnessed

[cloud flax]

Yeah fr

[coral vector]

I thought day 1 in LA was their best performance of the tour so far.

I didn't see all of every show but I've watched at least some of the livestreams each night

They were on fire night 1 in LA. So much energy and enthusiasm

[white citrus]

yessss they were amazing

it’s that LA air fr

the vibes all around were just amazing , all the celebs there , it being LA their fav city , lisa’s mom there , their FIRST stadium show , their last city of the U.S tour , it was all set up for them to have their best performance

and they looked like they had so much fun

[austere narwhal]

girls always have fun at la

stadium always bring the best performance cause the sounds is really better

[white citrus]

just the atomosphere

and the pink ocean hit sooooo different

[sour umbra]

honestly see all the pink hammers is probably the best part of any stop of the tour

besides the bp girls ofc lol

[white citrus]

best part of kpop concerts

[eager bramble]

CHAENNIE? i have been summoned.

omgomg chaennie

[mortal river]

yess

[eager bramble]

i wasn't even there but i have tears in my eyes from the video clips
how i wish i went to LA!

joking, i'm grateful i got to see them at all

[eager bramble]

[white citrus]

honestly yea for any of us who at least got to see them in person we’re so lucky

[white citrus]

there’s still millions of fans who are less fortunate who would die to see BP in person

[eager bramble]

no matter your seats or what day you attended, if you got to go then you should be the happiest girl / boy / person

[white citrus]

yep

[sour umbra]

[white citrus]

we can all say were literally in the same room as them

[eager bramble]

[austere narwhal]

Im sad for the girls but also cant agree to the preparation

it’s not even marathon

The shittiest schedule i have ever seen

[white citrus]

more like a sprint

[coral vector]

true it was more like a sprint

[austere narwhal]

Lollol lmfao

Now europe gonna be marathon

2.2 days a show

1.78 days for a show in the US fuck yg

[coral vector]

you need to be young and be a good athlete to do what they do. but i know they can be fragile too and i worry they will have problems. i know jennie has ankle problems in the past

[feral hawk]

tbh YG did a horrible job in monetizing BP's popularity esp. in Asia, ofc covid is a big factor. Now they just cannot wait for their payday

[coral vector]

[austere narwhal]

She did have it i mean she gonna get it everyday she just hide it

[coral vector]

they did a great job of getting them modeling gigs tho lol

[austere narwhal]

but also blackpink is too good to be even think about

Whatever yg did they just getting more popular

Maybe yg try to slow down the popularity for the new girl group

[feral hawk]

Like a tier-1 artist only famous in China probably made more profit than YG as a company

[austere narwhal]

[coral vector]

They did just have like 12M in revenue over two nights in LA

no big deal lol

[austere narwhal]

when a company debut a new group they always treat the old group carelessly

Girls made a lot in fashion u cant even think about it too

blackpink is just a specific case tbh too rare to be found

[feral hawk]

Only based on BP's popularity in mandarin-speaking population, they should be able to make 5 times more if the activities are properly planned and executed

[austere narwhal]

Yea cause of the restriction between china and korea

[austere narwhal]

Some last stops, girls even said they sorry cause theu arent feeling well and didnt perform at 100%

[coral vector]

maybe we are lucky they did USA first.

[white citrus]

yea while they were fresh

[austere narwhal]

Lol fr we might get lucky tbh

[feral hawk]

No being racist but the western females seem to be stronger physcially

[coral vector]

yeah i saw the 5th and 6th show

[white citrus]

lisa’s been sick since chicago 😭😭😭

[austere narwhal]

Jennie getting sick since atlanta

[feral hawk]

Like Dua Lipa have 90 concerts in a year and she is solo

[austere narwhal]

After that she didnt say anymore about that but how u could recover from sickness with that schedule

[white citrus]

literally

the one thing the body needs to get better from sickness … rest

which they barely got

😭

[austere narwhal]

Blackpink has dance

[coral vector]

drugs

[white citrus]

oh true

[austere narwhal]

yea but hope they dont use too much

[coral vector]

they probably get those IVs of saline or whatever that is. the stuff people get for sickness and hangovers

not like illegal drugs but stuff like that

[austere narwhal]

Rosie had to get an IV shot after the Film Art in LA

[white citrus]

probbaly just like b12 vitamin shots too

[austere narwhal]

what the shot that transfer liquid food ?

I forget the name

[white citrus]

still think it’s crazy how she did that in la and then travelled to canada right away

then did a show

[austere narwhal]

She arrived toronto in the morning and went straight to the venue

[coral vector]

26 year old people can do some crazy shit tho lol

[austere narwhal]

But it’s too much for rosie especially she has to perform

[white citrus]

even then

that’s so taxing on anybody

[austere narwhal]

So thereofre we saw her arm got a shot

[coral vector]

need to start getting injections in the butt so it doesnt show

[feral hawk]

the sad thing is only hard-core fans would think this way

for the causal fans or someone just wants to go to a concert they dont care

[austere narwhal]

she leave atlanta for 5hrs flight to LA on friday on 4th, film art on 5th, arrived in the morning and concert in the evening

Meh i couldnt do it at all

[feral hawk]

they will only notice the performer is not in shape

[austere narwhal]

But didnt see any bad reviews on blackpink performance

[white citrus]

we grew to love them and now we only really just care about their well-being , health and happiness just as much as anything else lol

[austere narwhal]

everyone said girls doing really well so gotta appreciate they try all their shit out for us

[coral vector]

i coulda done that stuff when i was 25 or whatever age she is. she's an athlete tho i could never perform the type of cardio they do on stage

[white citrus]

nah fr their energy for this u.s tour was amazing despite the fast paced schedule

[austere narwhal]

U can fly like that but not when u have 4 nights of concerts

yea none of bad reviews are seen everyone said they have one of the best shows etc

[coral vector]

i coulda done that at 25. for sure. but i woulda been on drugs so thats why i say that projecting

[austere narwhal]

Their voice sounds wack sometime during some last stops

Like they lost their voice

[coral vector]

true

[austere narwhal]

But if we look from pink venom the whole scheudle so shit, pink venom then vmas then preparation for shut down then fashion week then tour💀💀💀

[feral hawk]

there are more negative reviews on TM for LA shows actually, the organization seems to be terrible

[coral vector]

i was in a band that "toured" regionally in my early 20s. i am a drummer, not exactly comparing that to the type of dancing they do, but we would do some wild stuff. party, stay up all night, play a show, move to the next city etc.

[austere narwhal]

Yea the organization only not the girls

[coral vector]

but we were also doing drugs

[austere narwhal]

So u can stay awake it’s ok

If the worst show happen it prob dallas day 1

[coral vector]

yeah and we never did it for any extended time. literally just a few weeks at a time

[austere narwhal]

It’s a fucking messy day

[feral hawk]

wondering if only the ppl who purchased tickets can leave reviews on TM? saw comments sound similar to the complaints I heard from non-attendent on social media, so I am suspecting

[austere narwhal]

never trust it

I only ask who go to the concert and have proof

[feral hawk]

thought on TM you have to be a ticket-buyer to leave reviews? That's why it's generally very positve

4.7/5

[austere narwhal]

Yg bout ti have a bang in revenue report in Q4

[austere narwhal]

Yea but i dont read it anyway useless

[coral vector]

yeah i dont know if we would have done better or worse sober tbh i suspect it would have been harder in the moment but easier in the long run. id be burnt out after a few cities

[austere narwhal]

Lololol understand

I even got sick on 24hrs flight

[coral vector]

24hrs? damn

[austere narwhal]

yea it sucked

[coral vector]

longest flight i did was 14

[austere narwhal]

East coast to asia

It was 14 for first and transite time + last

[coral vector]

sounds miserable lol

ive been offered spots on touring shows. i feel like i wouldnt like it. they pay well tho

[austere narwhal]

What if it’s blackpink

[coral vector]

i work in live entertainment and there is high demand for tech people in music tours rn

[austere narwhal]

[coral vector]

if its blackpink then i sign up right now

[austere narwhal]

we move to london chat soon

it’s gonna be the only chat we could understand

[coral vector]

im kind of a homebody these days so i like to be at home at night and have my own bed and my own food etc. but it is tempting...people i work with telling me they made so much money going on an arena tour for 4 months.

[austere narwhal]

It is it’s what u want to do and what u like better

Understand thay feeling

I skipped taylor swift ticket reselling cause I was at blackpink

And end up seeing mu friends made 7k

[coral vector]

sheeeesh

[austere narwhal]

but jennie looked at me is priceless

[feral hawk]

review time

By Gaulo

on 11/23/22
So so

Banc of California Stadium - Los Angeles

There were speaker issues at the end of the stadium with 2 second delay overlapping with each other. Beautiful helpful stadium workers but blackpink performance was probably the worst I seen coming from a Kpop group.

wtf

[coral vector]

the worst!

[feral hawk]

sounds like a hater from reddit who didnt go the concert

now I doubt if one has to buy a ticket to make review

[frail snow]

LMAO

[coral vector]

if thats the worst i think i need to see these other kpop groups lmao

[feral hawk]

I not going to see other kpop groups anyway

useless it's BigBang back to tour

SM/JYP music are just terrible to me

[coral vector]

i like red velvet

do they tour in the us

[sour umbra]

i didnt get to go to red velvet when they were in the us and I really regret it

cause at the time i was just getting into kpop

and didnt know if i wanted to spend money on it

[austere narwhal]

I mean sm/jyp music isnt for the concert it just they sing and dance

😭

[coral vector]

when red velvet came out i thought they would be bigger than blackpink but it didnt go as i thought.

[austere narwhal]

They dont know how to hype the crowd and if the crowd is silent in cocnert it fucking bored

[feral hawk]

most times dancing not singing

at least for certain groups

[austere narwhal]

[sour umbra]

twice was pretty good with the balance of dancing/singing live

and then with their ments

[austere narwhal]

But it’s boring isn tit

[feral hawk]

they lipsync a lot without their mics on hands?

[austere narwhal]

I dint want go to a concert that straight same as korean music show

[coral vector]

i thought it was interesting that BP had a mic in their hand almost all show

i like that

[feral hawk]

red velvet never had a concert in Korea

[coral vector]

wait no concert in korea? why???

[austere narwhal]

They did

[feral hawk]

I think so, it's difficult for gg to hold concert in SK

[austere narwhal]

Nah they did but in 5k capacity

[coral vector]

oh why is it hard for GG to do show in SK?

[austere narwhal]

Not enough demand

Asia always like boy than girl

[coral vector]

for real? but they are like the biggest girl group ever

or they were anyway

[austere narwhal]

Yes but doesnt mean u can hold a concert

Red velvet not close to biggest

U need a good fanbase

[coral vector]

yeah true

[feral hawk]

right, tiger dome in a university

[coral vector]

Red Velvet shoulda been bigger. I havent followed along super closely but since Girls Generation was so huge, I thought Red Velvet would be bigger than Twice ever would be....but obv not

[austere narwhal]

U need to interact well with internation fans too

If u want to be big

[coral vector]

Red Velvet had a really good run of songs early on. like 2015-16

[austere narwhal]

All 3 only famous in asia

[coral vector]

maybe they been around before that even

[austere narwhal]

🥲 sad to say that

[feral hawk]

there are just too many kpop performances in Korea and a lot of them are free, so you really need a good fanbase to fill an arena. And gg usually dont have hard-core fanbase

[coral vector]

Girls Generation was famous here they did pretty big shows

[austere narwhal]

Korea?

If korea then I agree

[coral vector]

America

[austere narwhal]

I thought u mean to be big in a whole world

[austere narwhal]

They didnt it was a whole company show

[coral vector]

i mean, groups these days have kinda redefined what fame is for kpop

[feral hawk]

GG is pretty big in Korea and Japan, famous in China as well

[austere narwhal]

I mean they famous yea but they didnt hold any specific concert

[coral vector]

i think they did?

[feral hawk]

I used to stan GG when they were the most hated Kpop group. Now I stan BP 🙂

[austere narwhal]

Nope

[feral hawk]

Kpop hates me, so I boycott Kpop with probably 3 exceptions

[coral vector]

kpop hates you?

[austere narwhal]

cant say cause im biased anyway, but blackpink level is diff (look at their average ticket price sold)

[coral vector]

who was it that did their own solo shows here in USA back then? there was a female group....

[feral hawk]

Kpop stans hate the group I like I mean

[coral vector]

yeah Blackpink is on another level its different

Wonder Girls? KARA? one of them.

[austere narwhal]

Im not sure kek

[coral vector]

Might have been Wonder Girls.

[austere narwhal]

Blackpink has the thing that benefit them a lot that all 4 know English

think about u go to the concert and cant understand what artists said, then im gonna stay at home

[feral hawk]

I think only three GGs used to hold concerts in KSPO dome: GG, BP and Twice

[coral vector]

what was considered "famous" for a kpop group when i started listening is not even comparable to how famous BP or BTS are

[austere narwhal]

A hit in korea

Some concerts around asia

[white citrus]

BP and BTS are on a whole another level

[austere narwhal]

Before BP and BTS western isnt the market for kpop

[feral hawk]

BTS fans will come after you

[white citrus]

yep

[white citrus]

i’ve already had my fair share of arguments with them , so annoying

and i like bts too

[austere narwhal]

i dont like them

heart is only has enough space for 4 girls

[white citrus]

kpop stans act like i can’t like more than one group ????

anyway

[feral hawk]

It's true that BTS has much larger fanbase but in terms of the general recognition, I would say BP and BTS at the same level

[coral vector]

for real

[austere narwhal]

Yep cause if u read more about fashion industry, it’s everyone needs

[sour umbra]

word ppl gotta know its ok to be a multistan

[coral vector]

Blackpink never had the same level of hit song that BTS had with Butter or Dynamite

[white citrus]

only cuz of butter and dynamite 😭😭😭😭

the most overplayed songs in history

[coral vector]

Great songs.

[austere narwhal]

U can but also fans are toxic🤣

[white citrus]

nah fr got me dancing and shit

[white citrus]

tell me about it , idk why it always has to be some damn competition

[feral hawk]

Blame TBL, they just wanted to gatekeep the girls, I respect Hybe for doing the best for BTS despite all the complaints from ARMY

[austere narwhal]

Asian thingy

[white citrus]

probably

[austere narwhal]

but general recognition for each member

Blackpink def do better

They gotta advantage from fashion, or being friends with celebs

[white citrus]

that’s why i loveeeee BP so much , only four of them , and they all carry their own weight , they all stand out

and they’re all so different

yet most powerful together

[austere narwhal]

Lol like a whole ass americans know olivia rodrigo, then she went to blackpink and it’s on the news, now everyone knows who is blackpink

It’s the win-win work

[white citrus]

yep especially when they went to coachella

that definitely helped

[austere narwhal]

Best day ever as a blink

[austere narwhal]

Didnt expect they deliver so fucking well

[sour umbra]

their coachella performance was 🔥

[white citrus]

such a MILESTONE

[austere narwhal]

Cause kpop performance always so meh when come to america

[feral hawk]

The thing bothers me is, despite under an American label, the gap between BP and BTS is larger in US compared to in Euro/Aisa excluding Korea and Japan.

[austere narwhal]

Just dance and sing dont know how to make the crowd goes crazy but they did

[austere narwhal]

It@/ ok blackpink did well as a girl group

just enjoy what they made what they achieve

[feral hawk]

And if you look at the gap between BP and non-BTS kpop groups in europe/english speaking courtiers, BP's advantage in US is not that good

[austere narwhal]

What do u mean

[feral hawk]

Like in UK/AUS/CAN/FRA/GER only BTS and BP can chart well

They are superior in both physical sales and streaming data

while in the US, quite a few groups can sell more than BP

[austere narwhal]

oh u mean sales? It’s ok

[feral hawk]

Ironically US is actually a weak spot

[austere narwhal]

Idc much

Cause it did nothing

[feral hawk]

physical sales of albums

[austere narwhal]

Yea understand blackpink was less in born pink

And what their album costs $50

[feral hawk]

yeah that's def a big factor

[austere narwhal]

yea and they only 5k away from the best selling girl group album in Us

[feral hawk]

but if you look at western countries other than US, other groups are no contenders

[austere narwhal]

Do i care no i dont

Yea lol

Blackpink has well connection in europe

Fashion fashion (the category where blackpink is the only one)

[feral hawk]

I think it's because the asian/kpop community is bigger in us

[austere narwhal]

U bought dont u

[white citrus]

bought 2 hehe

[austere narwhal]

[white citrus]

mainly for the photo book and photocards

[feral hawk]

you sure they count towards the BB chart?

[white citrus]

pulled this from one of them and i’ve held onto it in my phone since

[feral hawk]

The countries where BP and BTS had the largest gap: Korea, Japan, US

I dont know how to rank these 3 coutries

[austere narwhal]

Dont worry blackpink gonna be more famous later when “the idol” is out

[feral hawk]

They are not even trying in Japan so I am fine with that

And Korea is all about BTS and given the rivalry I can understand as well

[austere narwhal]

It’s ok lol domt care about that group

[coral vector]

all that matters is blackpink

[frail snow]

i love rv

[coral vector]

they have some really good songs

[mortal river]

Help

Does jennie mean 6pm KST or what

[mortal river]

New girl group?

[mortal river]

Take bandaid off

After 1 minute

If it still bleeds u know the needle is big

Bc the smaller the wound is the recovery is faster

But some shots are different

Some dont hurt and some hurt

I had a shot that hurt so bad that it lasted for 3 days

Or smth like that

[tall torrent]

[white citrus]

[mortal river]

dang

omg LAX is so crowded rn

[mortal river]

we’ll

welp

im at the airport

[tall torrent]

sheesh

[severe marten]

missing blackpink

[austere narwhal]

Yep

[mortal river]

i didn’t know they had a new one

[austere narwhal]

it’s already close to debut

But usally if a korea company want to debut a new one the one active need to be less popular

Look at how SM did to red velvet, then aespa

[mortal river]

red velvet is still popular

aespa isn’t as good as red velvet though

that’s why red velvet is still popular

[honest orchid]

Blackpink is still going strong

[austere narwhal]

But look how sm treated red velvet

[mortal river]

idk

[mortal river]

yep!

[wintry bear]

I need red velvet tour like right now…. Smh

Also I just had a dream where I was at my local small concert venue and blackpink just showed up

I was literally just talking story with them all lol… then I left to get an album so they could sign it, but then the dream scape changed on me

[icy flume]

Same 😭

[honest orchid]

ME WANT

[vast hamlet]

Hi does anyone know how to get the pictures taken on stage if you were ULT?

[austere narwhal]

[coral vector]

Sounds fun. I had a dream they were having a concert at the stadium I work at.

[tall torrent]

[mortal river]

SAME

[mortal river]

[honest sparrow]

Aay

[honest orchid]

You can literally see empty seats in the back

XD

[frail snow]

why was it empty

[honest sparrow]

Both days those seats were empty

[white citrus]

cuz they’re right behind the mixing booth

obscured view

that’s my guess

[honest sparrow]

Ah yeah probably

I think I found myself in the top photo but it's a very very low chance thats me

[white citrus]

i found myself in day 2 but damn it’s so blurry it’s not even worth screenshottting

💀

[honest sparrow]

If my shirt could be seen I'd definitely find myself I was wearing a bright red shirt, I didn't think to change before it started

[honest sparrow]

Fair enough yeah

Was day2 louder than day1?

From the videos I saw on twitter it seemed like it

[frail snow]

lisa covered me in day 2

[honest sparrow]

rip

[frail snow]

and i think i was too short for day 1 pic

[gloomy hearth]

who went to the concert 😭

[honest sparrow]

Ah better luck next time

[frail snow]

it’s okay

[honest sparrow]

bring stilts

[frail snow]

[honest sparrow]

Nice

I'll wear my red shirt again

What was it like being closer to the barricade?

[frail snow]

very nice

they were so close

unreal tbh

[honest sparrow]

Damn nice

I honestly can only remember like 10% of the whole thing...

talked to 2 people and screamed very loudly

[frail snow]

i talked to everybody at my seats

[honest sparrow]

Noice

[frail snow]

most of my videos are of me screaming

i don’t think i can watch them without mute…

[honest sparrow]

I got 1 video from soundcheck

[frail snow]

[honest sparrow]

[gloomy hearth]

[frail snow]

[honest sparrow]

[frail snow]

[honest sparrow]

Oh damn

[frail snow]

[frail snow]

Maybe like 15-20metres from the stage

Rosé legit looked like she was glowing

[frail snow]

RIGHT

[honest sparrow]

It was insane

it sucks I can't remember most of the show I only remember bits and I barely took photos, but I do remember the bass being insanely strong

[silver lake]

All of my vids i recorded of them had me shrieking loud in the back L o L

[honest sparrow]

I definitely shrieked 'jisoo' a couple of times

[silver lake]

Im still recovering from voice loss

[austere narwhal]

[mortal river]

hopefully

[tall torrent]

[white citrus]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRC53ULU/

this guy dropped the best LA vid i’ve seen yet

how tf is his quality so good did he sneak a camera in or some

[austere narwhal]

U can get a camera jn

https://youtube.com/@record7853

Even rosie fansite is in but idk what camera they use

[mellow aspen]

gotta be really good to get a professional camera in lol. My phone is good enough though lol

[tall torrent]

i got my memorabilia ticket yall

[stoic ridge]

Same!

[tall torrent]

yeah im definitely gonna get another one for my day 1 ticket

[coral vector]

i remember a friend of mine from Singapore had some chinese phone that they dont sell in the US and it was way ahead of iPhone or Samsung in terms of camera quality. maybe thats what those ppl had

[noble haven]

Huawei P30 Pro has 50x zoom

[austere narwhal]

Same it’s enoigh for me

Also i dont want to carry some bullshit and have to take care of it

[icy flume]

Anyone else still have serious Pcd, esp bc it’s a Monday lmao

[minor yarrow]

how do u get it

[austere narwhal]

same

[sour umbra]

yes me

[mellow aspen]

Ya forreal. My phone can record in 4 and 8k. No need for a camera and potentially the idea of getting in trouble

[mellow aspen]

I have PCD and real depression 🙂

[coral vector]

some people go to these shows to get content rather than to enjoy Blackpink

[mellow aspen]

Clout chasing is so real

[coral vector]

yeah and $ chasing i suppose. assuming these videos dont get completely demonetized.

if you get millions of views on YT Shorts, that amounts to some money. maybe enough to cover your VIP ticket/travel expenses.

[austere narwhal]

Put title as blackpink

Guaranteed some thousands view

Youtube short u get money?

[coral vector]

yep

they have a Shorts Fund

[austere narwhal]

U need to register something to get your acocunt verified before doing that so?

Im not watching any shorts

[coral vector]

how do they calculate how much each person gets? no idea. but I've gotten about $1k over the last couple months from my videos. i've done very well tho, so it's not some crazy amount of money considering how many views ive gotten

[tall torrent]

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1296381718/

[austere narwhal]

U got like 2m views for 1k?

[tall torrent]

yes

[coral vector]

lol hell no. i got 24M views

[austere narwhal]

I almost joined it

But it prob takes a lot of times

[coral vector]

what do u mean

[austere narwhal]

Do u need to do a lot of video?

Nah i mean

For yourself

[coral vector]

i mean, yeah. i had like 50 or 60 videos to get those 24M. I had several of them go wildly viral tho, obviously.

[austere narwhal]

Good jobbbbv

[coral vector]

You don't need to join anything, just post Shorts and if they pop off you'll get an email saying you get some money from the fund.

[austere narwhal]

but like the time u spent for 50-60 videos

[austere narwhal]

Time to post blackpink

Jk i wont post any of it

[coral vector]

yeah i spend a lot of time making videos. most of them are just clips from my livestreams so i dont have to record anything after the fact. some of them i do record scripted parts after the fact. it's all very time consuming.

[austere narwhal]

did u post any about girls

[coral vector]

but i do it to promote my stream, not to get money from YouTube. that has been a nice added benefit tho

[coral vector]

nah i didnt post any blackpink or anything. i probably should tho. nobody subs to me for anything kpop related, but why not try it?

[austere narwhal]

Good 4 u

[mellow aspen]

This guy interviewed me and called me an oil prince smh

[austere narwhal]

I got good shot ngl

With phone

[mellow aspen]

Ya I have some good shots too that I ended up touching up with PS and stuff and made them into my wallpapers

Let me find them

[coral vector]

Looks pro

[austere narwhal]

I have one good rosie video

And others

We need to survive the pcd

im good with this one the most

[sour umbra]

😮 thats a really good one

[mellow aspen]

I had too much fun making these lol

[austere narwhal]

Yep im really appreciate myself that record it

[austere narwhal]

I gotta learn how to retouch photo

[coral vector]

streaming and interviewing ppl made that morning fun. standing out there for hours

[mellow aspen]

I'm a photographer myself so I love photo editing and stuff

[coral vector]

that guy who had stayed out there all night was a legend. i loved his story

[mellow aspen]

Alright brb, time to move off my work laptop lmao

And weback lol

[austere narwhal]

Survive the pcd together

[mellow aspen]

Jennie and Rosé closeups are my fave lol. They're my wallpapers. Bias wrecker and bias lol

[coral vector]

[mellow aspen]

Danke

[coral vector]

i like these

most the others i have are just of their backs cause i didnt want them to see my phone

[austere narwhal]

@mellow aspen gonna find some pics and need u to retouch it

[mellow aspen]

Pressure is on

Kidding

[austere narwhal]

[mellow aspen]

I finally finished work today bar one small thing so when I get bored of Pokemon I can lol

[eager bramble]

hope there is a next time lmao

[icy flume]

I just watched a vid on YouTube for LA day 2 and Jisoo said “see you next time” at the end of the concert 👀

[eager bramble]

saying money wise, i'm not sure if i can afford another concert

[icy flume]

FR tho 😭

[eager bramble]

RIGHT?

general admission was already a crazy amount

vip, let alone vip 1 would be impossible lmao

ticketmaster making profit

[icy flume]

Next time I’m taking loans idc

[eager bramble]

good choice

[austere narwhal]

Vip 1 is some bullshit

even the fee is bullshit

[coral vector]

yeah im not sure VIP1 is the way to go

You do get to be first row.

[mellow aspen]

I had fun being a VIP 1 lol

[coral vector]

I'm sure it's very fun. And it sounded like the sendoff in Atlanta was fun.

but i also had a lot of fun and i was just a lowly VIP 3 pleb

[white citrus]

i hope so too i mean after every day 2 in every city they said “see you again soon” “see you next time” so they can’t just give us that hope and NOT come back :,)))

[mellow aspen]

Still not getting over more VIP3s in line so early compared to the other 2 lol

[white citrus]

vip 3 was fun and still got really close to barricade without having to give my arm and leg

[icy flume]

Howd u get to barricade, isn’t vip3 a4/a5 sec

[coral vector]

yeah thats how i felt. but i did get quite lucky in the way that there were like under 100 VIP2 at the show i went to. i was second row when i may have been 3rd or 4th if the Deluxe all sold out

[white citrus]

i didn’t like GET get barricade but was like 2 or 3 people behind

once they drop the rope before the concert starts all of us just moved up

and i was one of the first people in the vip 3 line in the morning so i was basically with the all the 1’s and 2’s anyway

[icy flume]

Oh was this LA?

[white citrus]

no houston

[icy flume]

Ohhh I see

[coral vector]

same. i was 23rd in line for VIP3.

[icy flume]

So would you say getting barricade is easier when it’s general admission (assuming you line up in the morning)

[white citrus]

you won’t get barricade as GA lol

[coral vector]

well you only get barricade really if ur VIP1

[white citrus]

^

[coral vector]

but you can get very close at the arena shows if ur VIP2 or 3 if you get there early enough

[mellow aspen]

Maybe 2 if people are nice to you lol

[white citrus]

big on the IF

[mellow aspen]

Were there really only like 100? damn

[white citrus]

wow that is lucky

[icy flume]

What’s the strat next time to getting barricade ext stage facing forward towards the stage. Vip1?

[coral vector]

when we were in line for the sound check down in the parking garage, the VIP2 line was so short that I first thought it was the VIP1 people! seriously it was 100 or less.

[white citrus]

that’s awesome 😭

[coral vector]

yes. thats where Noel was and he was VIP1

[mellow aspen]

Who is Noel

[coral vector]

my oil prince

[white citrus]

oil prince

LMO

LMAO*

[mellow aspen]

I am batman

[coral vector]

[sour umbra]

get me oreos lol

[coral vector]

i gotta leave work ill talk to u guys later on

[icy flume]

Oh ok so vip1 arena essentially means guaranteed barricade anywhere along the barricade?

[mellow aspen]

Yall think I'm made of money ☠️

[sour umbra]

i wasnt getting floor for when i went anyways too short

and vip1 prices were expensive

[coral vector]

yeah. and the earlier you arrive in the morning, you have better choice of where you get along the barricade.

[mellow aspen]

I'm 5'6 which is why I made sure I was front front

[sour umbra]

must be nice (me being 5'4)

[coral vector]

ppl in front of me weren't tall except this one dude was like 6'5. he wasnt directly in front of me, but a little to the left. this meant i had a big blind spot for the stage lol

[sour umbra]

thats y i made sure to get seated seats that r pretty much at the front

[icy flume]

Lmao there was a 6’5” dude La day 2 along the barricade

[mellow aspen]

I'm so glad my cousin got us super close seats on my last concert. Made my niece's experience all the more worth it

[white citrus]

6’5 at barricade gotta be prohibited idc 😭😭

[coral vector]

this guy was VIP1 so all of us VIP2 and 3 came into the arena for sound check first....then VIP1 walked out and when i saw that guy coming i was like NOOOOO and thankfully he didnt stand directly in front of me

[white citrus]

gotta be a height limit or some shit

[icy flume]

How early did y’all line up for vip1/vip2

[coral vector]

i was vip3 and got there before 9am. 22 ppl were there already in front of me

[mellow aspen]

I "slept in" and my slept in I mean I stayed up all night lmao. I got there 730

I was the 3rd person but I also felt dumb lucky because most other places, that's probably like 10

[icy flume]

How did u eat/use restroom if u wait in line all day

[coral vector]

day 2 in atlanta may have been one of the better days for VIP cause they didnt sell them out

[mellow aspen]

I made friends with the people in front of me and Snooze who I was talking to beforehand

Person who was VIP 1 offered to buy us breakfast if we watched her spot

[coral vector]

there were porta potty near us so if you wanted to leave line for a minute it was no big deal.

[mellow aspen]

Which we did

[icy flume]

Noicee

[icy flume]

Damn that’s crazy. So prob even less than 100 for vip1?? So 200 total for vip1/2??

[mellow aspen]

Ya. VIP 2 was supposedly like 300 people. That's 200 people who wasted money lol

[icy flume]

This was Houston?

[mellow aspen]

Atlanta Day 2

[coral vector]

Yeah something like that. So I got 2nd row on the side of extended stage as a vip3.

I was so close

[white citrus]

crazy how close we were able to get despite being vip 3

we got lucky

[coral vector]

Yeah I was so surprised

[tall torrent]

oh to be that close

[floral ferry]

Lucky

I was on the side barricade seats

It was still pretty nice

[coral vector]

In one of my videos I can be heard saying "THEY ARE RIGHT THERE!"

[floral ferry]

[tall torrent]

wow beautiful

[austere narwhal]

Vip 3 was a square line while vip 1 and 2 hasnt fulled in newark

[mellow aspen]

First VIP2 to show up was at like 830 in Atlanta, first person in the other two lines camped lol

[austere narwhal]

100 vip 1, 300-400 vip 2, 6-700 gor vip 3
