New York, NY (Hulu Theater, March 4th, 2023)

[analog plume]

I can see my big ahh stick all the way to the right

[flint nacelle]

Had so much of a better time at this concert compared to the one last year. Cannot wait for them to come back to NY. I miss them already

[dusk hollow]

It seemed like a perfect size for them

[void willow]

all seated for the win

[toxic scroll]

Hi I was wondering of someone could help
i'm hoping to get one of the hoodies through someone who will be attending one of the US tour concerts and would like to know the measurements of either the small or medium size if possible

if someone who has one of those could check the measurements for me I'd appreciate it a lot 💜

[hazy loom]

I have the medium I won’t be home to measure for another like 7 hours but I can if you don’t get someone to do before then

[toxic scroll]

thats ok I can wait, appreciate it

[hazy loom]

Just remind me if I don’t send today!

[rose halo]

I’m glad it cuts off before my side. Bc I don’t know what kind of stupid faces I was making

Whenever it comes to pictures my face stops working

[toxic scroll]

be like me and wear bucket hat and face mask so you can't see anything

this is me in the fairytale clip

[rose halo]

Not gonna lie. I thought Handong was about to shame us for not wearing masks in the ending ment. They she said 이뻐 and I was like oh phew

[toxic scroll]

saw smth about yooh being happy she could see somnias smiling

[rose halo]

I wear my mask to work and out shopping still but I was glad to take a break during this concert

Yeah I think dongie said that too

I love that they always move throughout the stage and they don’t just focus on the first few rows. That’s honestly what I love about dc, if they physically could they would shoot a heart at every person row by row

[dusk hollow]

From the front you could watch JiU looking around the entire room at everyone. Her eyes always sparkle

[rose halo]

Yesssss!

I dunno if anyone caught it but when the girls were screaming Som Nia at each other the security guard up front got scared and was looking around all confused lmao

[hazy loom]

That was so funny

I honestly don’t think I’ve laughed so hard at a concert

In that section of ments

[silver laurel]

the part before the encore was super funny 😭😭 i saw a couple people leave after new days LOL

the staff was messing with us

the ments fr turned my mother into a ‘dreamcatcher is so cool’ but not really stan person

[obtuse cloud]

i stayed up until like 4:30a and woke up at 8a to do more photo editing. I hate this 😦

[silver laurel]

DAMN

why?? 😭

you should sleep

[obtuse cloud]

couldn't

8a is sleeping in for me, so my body is like "wake up wake up"

[silver laurel]

fair enough that happens to me too

[cosmic moss]

SMH, they repeated the outro once in Europe for it, but THREE times here

[mystic ice]

@cosmic moss well atleast other ppl got it i thought i was recording the entire songs. But i only got 6 seconds. I guess ny was really lit so 3 times

[faint osprey]

[obtuse cloud]

handong wrecked me as usual. I'm like "why do I have a 60 photo burst of just handong..."

[dusk hollow]

Because Handong…

[mystic ice]

I cant wait for you to post them. Def need all high quality pics of them for my lockscreen

[obtuse cloud]

this is currently in my scratch folder since I need to revisit this one

last night was tagging and only editing a handful

[hidden citrus]

bro last night was a movie

[mystic ice]

@obtuse cloud i went on kpop map last night and i couldnt find anything dreamcatcher. Only when i searched it but it was older stuff.

[obtuse cloud]

yup, it will be there once DCC approves

my london photos are up there

they are very very very picky on what pictures I'm allowed to release

and I have to edit korean fansite style, which I'm not a fan of

[mystic ice]

I didnt see the london photos let me check again

[obtuse cloud]

https://www.kpopmap.com/exclusive-review-dreamcatcher-transports-its-vision-to-london/

[mystic ice]

@obtuse cloud thanks. What section do you usually upload it?

Series? Stories? By fan?

[obtuse cloud]

stories

it will be posted on our twitter feeds too

[mystic ice]

Ok gotcha and its stories, reviews

[obtuse cloud]

and honestly, the photos get picked up by our helpful mods and put into the channels

[mystic ice]

Thats really cool. How long is approval?

[obtuse cloud]

days to weeks

I submit one or two days after show and then they take their time, which is fine

Also got lucky and pulled a yoohyeon last night

[wild geode]

Yeah! Would love to meet more local insomnia

[terse heart]

Oh I think I seen you during the end hope you get your fancam that sign is cool

Yes I’m local and down for that whenever

[hardy veldt]

Hi, did anyone on here do the photo with the girls?

[ornate wasp]

Yep!

FYI the cup sleeve event at Grace Street Cafe is canceled due to illness

[hardy veldt]

Everything was just a blur honestly 😭 Were we supposed to get the photo somewhere? Or what's the situation?

[dusk hollow]

They will email it in like 2 months

I think officially it says 50 days

But who knows

[ornate wasp]

^^^^

[hardy veldt]

Ohhh but how do they know which photo is ours? Lol do they just send everything?

[dusk hollow]

I think so

Just everyone at each venue will probably get all the pictures

[hardy veldt]

Okay cool cool. I was worried I totally spaced and had to grab a soft copy of it after 😅

[ornate wasp]

It was so un real

[hardy veldt]

Thank you 💜💜

[dusk hollow]

They want us to suffer for awhile

[hardy veldt]

Was anyone else surprised at Gahyeon's height? I don't know why I imagined her to be shorter lol

[obtuse cloud]

you'll get it when you don't expect it

[dusk hollow]

I honestly never thought anything seemed weird about their size

I’m 6ft though so I guess I just expect 90% of people to be shorter and maybe that’s why

[faint osprey]

I always assume that Dami is the tallest member lol

[hardy lance]

Anyone know if dreamcatcher already left for PA or are they at least are enjoying one more day in NY

[faint osprey]

But Jiu slightly hovered above me

[hardy lance]

Cause today issss sooo nice with the sun to walk around NY

[keen sentinel]

Sooo trueee

I was just thinking dat

Yesterday and day before not dat great

[hazy loom]

Reading is tomorrow?

[pale mica]

reading is tomorrow

[hazy loom]

Im sure they are going today

Assuming via bus

[dusk hollow]

So we can get another SuA Windows background

I definitely took the same picture when I did the drive too

I guess it won't be quite so green this time of year though

[ornate wasp]

Koryo Books has a nice little display up front

[toxic scroll]

very nice

[mystic ice]

I still need to buy every album. But that will happen when my bank account recovers

Also whats with the different versions? Is it just different stuff inside?

[ornate wasp]

Basically The black&red one is the ‘Limited Editon’ it has some stuff the others dont. Then there’s 3 versions of the regular edition in different colors, afaik those all have the same stuff but ofc its all random

[mystic ice]

Oh ok good to know. What about the thin cased one?

[ornate wasp]

Then there’s a purple one that’s Digital Pack that is smaller cheaper and doesn’t come with a cd or photobook but it has stuff unique to it. It has digital download code

[ornate wasp]

Oh if that’s the Black w Red trim one thats the LE. I called it the red one but ig thats not really accurate 😅

[mystic ice]

I mean this one

[ornate wasp]

Oh ok. Yeah thats the Digital Pack.

Its got a code for you to download the album, and comes with different things than the other albums. I think it’s cheaper too

[mystic ice]

Yeah its $12

[ornate wasp]

I havent got that but for $12 i probably would. I only bought the LE version.

[mystic ice]

One day ill try and buy all of them. But ima wait till they are all back in stock

[hazy loom]

The regular ones have different photobooks/shoots but the limited has them all and sometimes an extra

Dc albums don’t generally restock past a certain point - I think you can find only summer holiday forward in stores (whether a local us store or a Korean store)

If you have questions about collecting #1004465186553466890 is your friend!

[mystic ice]

[pale mica]

you can still get RTU and lose myself too https://en.dreamcatcher.kr/category/album/24/

but beyond that, it's a hunt

[mystic ice]

Yeah only the normal versions

Well ill take what i can get

[north isle]

Too expensive here, idk if nara or mandu still has it in stock, but you can save like 10 bucks per album in either of the other stores

😭

I only go to koryo for older things/albums but it's rlly exp there

[north isle]

They sell this at koryo for 26 last I checked 🥲

[faint osprey]

i bought two digital packs one time and got the same exact cards

[ornate wasp]

[north isle]

SAME BUT I AT LEAST GOT A DIFF PVC

😭

[faint osprey]

[ornate wasp]

Aww cutie Gahyeon

[faint osprey]

Vision Dongie tho

[serene echo]

I was walking around in the airport with my DC hoodie and this man was asking his son, why are there so many people wearing dream catcher shirts and hoodies

[faint osprey]

Or did that man see the girls at the airport?

[serene echo]

[obtuse cloud]

Oops. Finger slipped

[runic spruce]

Seeing pictures from people closer, Handong's hair looks so much more vibrant than it looked to me.

[dusk hollow]

This is good because it’s basically a higher resolution version of the view I had from my spot

[dusk hollow]

So remember how I said I was in the 5th row?

Apparently in that layout row E was barricade

None of us knew until the ushers brought us up there

[runic spruce]

AKDBDISKS I saw people saying that E was barricade. And I remember you said you were 5th row. My brain did not combine those facts until now

You lucky man

[dusk hollow]

I didn’t think I had any DC luck left in me

[runic spruce]

Made up for being pushed off of barricade last year 🤣

[dusk hollow]

That and more. It was barricade with nobody for like 4ft behind

My biggest problem was trying to peek out from behind Dami for the group photo

[faint osprey]

I was on F and thankful for the space

I do not miss the pit at all

[dusk hollow]

We were probably far enough forward that the girls could see you really well too

[obtuse cloud]

the venue was pretty awesome overall

wait, @dusk hollow i might have snapped a photo of you

because I took a few crowd shots

[faint osprey]

At least no one fainted this time around

[obtuse cloud]

especially if you were on the barricade and right behind me

[dusk hollow]

Haha, maybe. I was in the Dream Kiss shirt

[runic spruce]

It felt from where I was that they were making individual eye contact for at least 10 rows back and having moments with them. They were even trying to see back to my section and at the very end, someone in the row in front of me got direct Dami eyecontact and almost collapsed

[dusk hollow]

I was watching JiU literally scanning the entire room

[faint osprey]

Jiu was so attentive

[dusk hollow]

She really doesn’t want to leave anyone out

[faint osprey]

She saw how much I loved Curse of the Spider alright lol

[runic spruce]

Jiu is the BEST at making fans feel seen

[obtuse cloud]

yup

[dusk hollow]

Siyeon told the girl next to me that she had the same shirt as they were waving goodbye

[obtuse cloud]

got a pic of you

[dusk hollow]

Haha, hopefully I don’t look like too much of a fool

[runic spruce]

Twice I've almost had to bias change to jiu cuz of her attention to me 🤣

[runic spruce]

I was wondering what she was saying, I was looking at her and trying to read her lips but I was too far away to see clearly

[dusk hollow]

I’m just going to claim Dongie was looking at me for this one

[dusk hollow]

Awesome, thanks!

I don’t look as bad as I expected

[void willow]

they are veterans of crowd engagement, it's great

[mystic ice]

Hope you keep slipping you finger

[runic spruce]

this being my 4th time seeing them, i know. it's just amazing to see them from afar (with a good view) and see it with my own eyes.

[void willow]

I really do advocate for every venue being seated in the future

Chicago is going to be a feeding frenzy even if they are enforcing tier separation

[obtuse cloud]

i want to go to chicago.

and reading.

and denver.

.....

[stone berry]

https://tenor.com/view/just-do-it-shia-la-beouf-do-it-gif-4531935

[runic spruce]

I wanna go to Reading again but i have no money.......

[cyan thunder]

i wanna make the impulse decision to go to reading but i have stuff to do tmrw 😔

[faint osprey]

lol im now debating about sucking it up and going for the drive

aghhhh

[cyan thunder]

i mean if i find a way to chicago and back that doesnt suck ill consider it

[serene echo]

im finally home... after waiting at LGA for 8hs

but it was fun coming to NYC for DC

[delicate current]

I’ve been home for 8 hours and the post concert depression ain’t going away. Just like last year

[serene echo]

i was watching dc concert clips on my 1h flight back to toronto

post concert depression

[velvet wolf]

me too haha and while i was waiting for the flight. my flight back to toronto was delayed over 5 hours just got home and showed my videos to my grandma

[slim crane]

It's been ~5 days since Atlanta concert,
PCD still with me

[nimble aurora]

Will they be back next year

[slim crane]

Too earlier to say

[delicate current]

I hope so

But please be like summer time or with a lot of time to plan

[cyan thunder]

definitely, tours are a money making machine

theyd lose a lot by not doing it

[tiny fulcrum]

I need a DC concert again

[analog plume]

I miss them already

[delicate current]

Same

But I will say it’s great to be in my own bed again and not in a hotel one

Now it just makes me think about how the girls feel not in their own beds

[nimble aurora]

They must be tired, I appreciate all the hard work they’re putting in for us

[delicate current]

For sure.

[toxic scroll]

@hazy loom yo, you wanted a reminder ping about the hoodie so here it is

[faint osprey]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

[hidden citrus]

did anyone take pics of the end part of vision

[void willow]

An FYI that this thread will be up for another day before closing and locking, but feel free to chat in here til then and definitely consider participating in the other chats and the server as a whole 🙂

[hazy loom]

It seems like it’s about 20-21” width and 27 1/2” length as a medium

[toxic scroll]

should be ok but I'll check one of the hoodies I got

[void willow]

eyyy you got the help

thanks @hazy loom for puttin in the work

[hazy loom]

Glad for the reminder I would have definitely forgotten

Not having Pcd but more post concert exhaustion

[toxic scroll]

that measurement is laid flat?

right?

ok one of the hoodies I got is basically those exact measurements so

nice

[hazy loom]

Yeah

[void willow]

this is good, it basically means MMT went through the same company as for the online concerts for those and those fit pretty comfortably

[hazy loom]

From side seam to side arm

Seam*

And then like hood seam to bottom

[toxic scroll]

[void willow]

whew, those exact measurement dimensions

I definitely dislike the front text font since it looks like out of 1990's microsoft word but the back is fire

[hazy loom]

It looks better in person I think

[toxic scroll]

it does but I kinda dig it
I really didn't like it at first

[hazy loom]

But the front is a definitely a little strange

[toxic scroll]

and yeah the in person photo I saw of the hoodie looked better

[void willow]

yeah that's why I like seeing it before purchasing but murky won't have that luxury I think

hence the help

[hazy loom]

Plus it’s purple and I love purple

[void willow]

I get the sense that murky is a careful, limited budget purchaser like I am

[toxic scroll]

purple on black is good

yea, don't have much budget to use so I gotta be careful

[void willow]

purple on black is a great dreamcatcher-style color choice

I am dithering on the tour shirts this time, I have enough black DC shirts and the purple on white is not it for me

like I said in main chat I want to inspect the jersey before deciding on that because those recent photos from Kody tell me it may not be worth the 119 price point

if it's like the material that can wick sweat pretty easily I can put up with a few threading flaws, if it's blatantly flawed there I may decide against it

[hazy loom]

Yeah I bought the jersey for someone but I didn’t open the package besides just to make sure it was actually the first member

[faint osprey]

I got the hoodie.. but now I feel like I should've gotten a shirt since it will get warmer soon. I also need a new gym shirt

[ornate wasp]

Those who bought the hat, is it the same ‘soft’ material as last years Apocalypse tour hat? Or is it sturdier

[north isle]

I don’t have last year’s but I did get the hat. Not home atm so I don’t remember the material, I can send pics when I’m home if I remember.

[fiery socket]

Yeah pretty much

[ornate wasp]

Ok 😒 thanks

[pale mica]

ooh last day of NY thread, well I'll take this opportunity to say thanks to every single one of you who made up such an epic crowd - this was a night to remember

[mystic ice]

Yeah same for me. It was an amazing night for my first concert ever, you guys made it awesome. Also it was nice meeting some of you ny maybe we will see each other again when dc comes back.

[nimble aurora]

Hope I see you all again for their next concert

[quaint copper]

Hopefully DC will have another reason to visit nyc again. It was a blast!

[hazy loom]

It was great!!

Exhausted at work today but so worth it

[flat peak]

I've never been to a Kpop concert before this, and I think the experience I had was amazing. I hope they visit NYC again

[faint osprey]

My most memorable by far due to the surprise front row

And my first hi touch

[nimble aurora]

How front do you have to sit for hitouch

[faint osprey]

As long as you had a ticket, you just have to buy the hi touch separately

[nimble aurora]

Gotcha thanks

[void willow]

this nickname sure seems to belong in another server and not this one, lol

server profiles ftw

[nimble aurora]

You got me was talking in another chat

[void willow]

I just tend not to change my global unless I hafta

[nimble aurora]

Long as you all are cool with it here. #InSomnia4life

[void willow]

can only speak for me. colloquially it might be best to swap to something to make you easier to refer to if needed, heh

[nimble aurora]

Let me see how creative I could get and pull back up yeye

Btw y’all may want to size up if you’re getting the Jerseys if you haven’t yet

Mine came in tight

[void willow]

I feel like with shrinking possible through washes, 1 size up seems a safe bet

[nimble aurora]

You dam right about that I washed mine immediately after the concert and now it feels like a skin suit

[mystic ice]

Yeah same. Never went cause of my 24/7 tinnitus so i gave it a trial run with earplugs and it worked perfectly. I def wanna do more but probably only DC

[dusk hollow]

I didn’t even consider that type of material might shrink

[mystic ice]

@obtuse cloud did you take all your pics on galaxy s23 ultra? If so what setting did you use? Cause i have the same phone but my pics had to much contrast and not so good quality even though i used the 200mp

[dusk hollow]

He was one of the cool guys in the press pit with a real camera

[void willow]

for NYC I believe he had an actual camera due to press but he can confirm. Other stuff, I believe he was using manual in pro mode. I'd asked previously.

again he can confirm and help

[mystic ice]

Ah ok this time i guess. Cause i ready the atlanta chat and i saw him say he was using his galaxy.

[void willow]

yeah it's because the venue did not allow point and shoot

[obtuse cloud]

the pics in atlanta were on the s23u

don't use the 200 mpx mode for high motion; it's too slow

[mystic ice]

Did you use the pro camera or the regular?

Would the 50mp be better to use? Or nothing at all?

[obtuse cloud]

pro

and i shoot raw

you can't use the 50mpx when using any of the tele lenses, so i rarely used that mode

[mystic ice]

Damn i really need to learn how to use the pro camer on galaxy

[obtuse cloud]

only for group shots when songs end

[mystic ice]

I tried taking a shot when they were sitting down and there was too much contrast

Let me see if i can find it

[obtuse cloud]

yeah, their image processing is a bit wacky

[mystic ice]

But i was also pretty far so that also ruins the quality

Plus the lights for the concert were bright af too

I was blinded by some lol

[faint osprey]

im on an s20 and im still surprised by how much i can do with the pro cam/vid

[mystic ice]

@faint osprey is it complicated to learn?

[faint osprey]

i dont think it is, but i did take a photography class before so there's that lol

[stone berry]

Using manual iso on pro video in galaxy works wonders

[faint osprey]

but because of the lighting changes @ the concert, i did have to tinker with settings a bit

[mystic ice]

I darkened the brightness but the pic was still not good but thats okay. Ill just download the pics everyone takes lol

[faint osprey]

i think the default vid mode on galaxy is fine, but you have to really play around with the brightness. in most cases i just lock the brightness at the lowest setting

[mystic ice]

I recorded in 8k its pretty good but each vid is like 1gb or 2. But its worth it

Still annoyed i didnt record silent night. Thought i was but only for 6 seconds

@mystic ice pabo

[faint osprey]

im pabo too for not recording at 4k, but im still surprised at how decent my vids looked

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwRPWbcCx4A

[stone berry]

Yeah they won't look exactly like it does in real time

[mystic ice]

Very good quality

[faint osprey]

sometimes the best cam is the one that's with you

[obtuse cloud]

yeah, for NYC, you had to set your white balance.

the lights were warm there

[maiden briar]

Glad you have a good time! It was my second one for dc and my 4th overall concert, I’d say it was my best one seat and experience wise

[flat peak]

Congrats on the great seat

[maiden briar]

Ngl after the concert I realized that fairytale and reason were my favorite performances and I loved talking segments, sua was killing me all night haha

[mystic ice]

Honestly on the normal camera setting i dont see that lol

[obtuse cloud]

yeah, normal is auto does white balance

switch to pro and then click on the WB setting

the phone will let you set whatever you want there either on auto or manual

but, tweaking white balance will fix a photo like this:

to this

[mystic ice]

Oh okay i gotcha now tysm

[mystic ice]

See even dongie thinks the lights are too much

[quaint copper]

Yesss. Reason & Fairy Tale was so good. I been blasting those two songs all Sunday

Especially just seeing and hearing it live. Omg

[faint osprey]

Reason live blew my mind. Dami was so freaking intense

[cyan thunder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJTmCj5kqZI

[mystic ice]

Fairytale and some love ive been blasting alot. Same for starlight. Wish we had that performance.

[quaint copper]

Before the channel shuts down, r we able to do like a nyc DC club or channel?

In case for meetups

Someone tagged before if for grace st meetup

Would be cool to do as weather gets warmer

[faint osprey]

[nimble aurora]

Just worried grace street would be too packed for the insomnia army

[flat peak]

This sounds cool :O

[white charm]

[nimble aurora]

So would I

[white charm]

I’m also Into other K-pop groups

[nimble aurora]

May I know which

[white charm]

I started getting I to k pop like 6 months ago. BlackPink, twice, bts, IVE, leserrafim, New Jeans, Jeon Somi, fifty fifty, XG, nmixx, StayC, everglow, Itzy, BiBi, red velvet,

Many more

[nimble aurora]

You have fantastic taste

[white charm]

Also a few solo artists, what groups do you like?

[nimble aurora]

Basically everything you mentioned. Very happy you had fifty fifty and XG on your list.

[white charm]

XG is really good just wish they got more exposure in the west, fifty fifty Cupid got me hooked

[white charm]

I also forgot to add Momoland 😭😭 even though they disbanded

[nimble aurora]

Aye respect to you for including them as well

[nimble aurora]

Do you prefer shooting star or left right

[white charm]

Left right first

[nimble aurora]

Let’s Goooooo

[warm carbon]

Glad to see BiBi made your list!

[nimble aurora]

The queen herself

[warm carbon]

I just need to see BiBi, Red Velvet, and Hwasa now and my life will be complete

Already checked off G idle Blackpink and Dreamcatcher

[white charm]

I’ve only got Itzy and BlackPink along with DC

[faint osprey]

kpop was my quarantine hobby. i saw twice, dc, itzy, sunmi, yerin baek*, and idle since lol

[warm carbon]

I skipped Sunmi last year. Definite regerts

[cedar tinsel]

purple kiss 👀

[faint osprey]

PK be growing on me too

[nimble aurora]

Triple Main Vocal is insane

[cosmic moss]

Waiting on PK concert

Tho we got a Pixy tour coming up in USA. 22 stops I think

[white charm]

My list is still growing if any of you got songs or groups to recommend me send me a pm. I’m finding new songs everyday

[warm carbon]

Let me know if you guys do start a NYC Somnia channel. I went to ATL for my other k pop shows, but I’m 1000% coming back to NY. You guys are amazing💜💜💜

[nimble aurora]

No you’re amazing

[warm carbon]

[quaint copper]

Don't think we need an entire channel, maybe thread like this is enough

[keen sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/xg-xgjuria-gif-26481136

[delicate current]

God I should have tried to make a pose with Dami for the photo but I was panicking in my head I forgot lol

[white charm]

Time to see twice

[delicate current]

What are the chances they preform here again?

I def think it was a great venue

[cold haven]

It's not out of the realm of possibility and I really hope they do! It was much better organized and seemed every spot had decent views of the stage

Miles better than the Time Square spot, and the girls seemed so much happier here. At least that's the vibe I got. We all were dying last year from the heat

[north isle]

This was the view of someone I know

[ornate wasp]

Check out H1-KEY, their new album is great.
Also, NMIXX fan. Based.

[nimble aurora]

I just wish those two screens were working for us

[north isle]

I hope they're finished with the outside construction by then cause my direction skills killed me HAISJSJJSJZS

[ornate wasp]

Also hope there’s not another concert happening at the same time confusing everyone trying to get in

[nimble aurora]

Guy in front of me thought our DC line was for Sza the whole time

[ornate wasp]

My group and plenty of others who got to venue after 6 got stuck in the SZA line thinking it was for getting in to see DC

[white charm]

Gonna listen to them

[ornate wasp]

Rose Blossom is their new song, on the album of the same name.

[white charm]

What’s your favorite song by them

@white charm They dont have many, i’d say Rose Blossom and Dream Trip are my favs.
Honestly the Rose Blossom album is no-skip for me. Run and Heartlight I also really like from their previous mini

[white charm]

Thank you

[flint nacelle]

I should have posted this earlier but here are some of takeaways that I had from the concert

1. This venue was so much better then the one last year at Times Square. I had so much of a better time here.The sound system sucked at Times Square. It was extremely hot last year and also it seemed like everyone was sitting down . This concert I was third row so I had a better experience off the start. Also seemed like every was into it this year. It might have been like this last time but I was all the way in the back and everyone was sitting down during the concert and barely anyone cheered. If/when they come back to Ny, I hope they come to the same venue. Also I’m hoping I will be off probation from my job so I can take a bunch of days off and go see them in other states.
2. Everyone loved Dami. Everytime one of her lines came up, she had the biggest cheers.
3. All of them are gorgeous but when I met Gahyeon during the M&G, I was speechless lol
4. Jiu truly loves all of the Isomnias. She interacted with so many of us. We don’t deserve her. It was so cute how she was directing everyone how to move the light sticks. She is the best leader. She is too precious
5. Siyeon and Yoohyeon have incredible stage presence. I was focused on both of them for most of the performances.
6. Sua is the funniest member of the group. i cannot get over her laugh.
7. I love all of them but Handong is officially my bias with the other 6 as bias wreckers. I like Handong
8. Set list was great, happy we got justice for What. Wind blows,What,Chase Me and Reason are some of my favorite songs. Wish they added Red Sun and BEcause but they played it last concert so I can’t complain.

I cannot wait for them to come back! Thanks to all the people I met during the show. Definitely help made it a better experience as well

[pale mica]

honestly, I'd say greater than 50% - it was the perfect size and the places they chose for this tour with relation to the last one indicate a mentality of "if it aint broke, go get the money!"

[faint osprey]

This topped last year for sure for me

[pale mica]

sorry to kind of join what seems to be a 2 person conversation but HEART LIGHT. heart light heart light heart light

[obtuse cloud]

they may have to adjust the pricing a bit, but it is a great venue

[void willow]

I'm just glad that they got to perform in MSG even if it was the Hulu Theatre. Just another feather in your cap

[dusk hollow]

Other than having to go through security twice it was a very nice venue

[quaint copper]

I think security just a bit overwhelmed with 2 concerts going on

[crimson igloo]

Yeah. They should have set up well marked lines for each concert

[quaint copper]

Sat on row K in 100 and omfg. SUA and Siyeon stuck around in front of me for most of the concert and I was super happy

[cedar tinsel]

Yeah if it wasn't for discord I would have waited in the sza line and never got in

[crimson igloo]

Poor SZA people had no idea where they were supposed to go.

[quaint copper]

Lol. Even the peddlers were confused. Trying to sell us sza merch in line

I'm like the sza concert is over there sir. And this is for dreamcatcher 👀

[quaint copper]

Vice versa. I think I generally tried to tell anyone with DC stuff on the sza line that line is the other avenue. I was chilling at the 8th Ave side

So before the thread really closes. Who do we ask for a ny/nj thread

To not undermine mods or server rules

[quaint copper]

I followed kpop all my life (I'm old...🙃) so if you want recos, lmk

[faint osprey]

The ends of each line almost combined at one point lol

Dreamszatcher

[smoky relic]

I’m in this same boat too.

Starting to listen to more, Blackpink started it, Dreamcatcher is my favorite now, want to see Twice and Aespa is my favorite up and comer so far

Whoops, met to reply to @white charm on that one lol

[cedar tinsel]

Following kpop since 2007 babeee

[quaint copper]

Lol. I'm a 90s kid, I grew up on 90s kpop to present

Early 2000s I was more into American songs for sure but big bang and wonder girls brought me back

[cedar tinsel]

Hoping aespa tours in the US. Saw twice last year

[quaint copper]

But yall ain't missing out too much. 90s stuff was very cringe

[cedar tinsel]

Man 2010s was quintessential bubble pop though. That era was something else

[quaint copper]

Best year of kpop is 2015 by farrr

[cedar tinsel]

I don't remember what came out that year 😂

[nimble aurora]

Did anyone else get patted down at security

[quaint copper]

Top of the list was big bang made series, iu 23 album, Wonder girls comeback reboot, all exo/bts comeback, debut of gfriend, ohmygirl, clc, monsta x, ikon, seventeen. Just goes on

Red Velvet yeri intro, 9muses biggest string of comebacks

Oh add twice to the debut list

Lol

Summer was snsd lion heart vs aoa vs sistar

Tldr, the year was a mix of veteran groups making their final releases, rise of bts, dominant rookie debuts

Fx 4 walls too. So good

[cedar tinsel]

Man I loved namyu and AOA so much. So sad to see them go

[crimson igloo]

Nope. Went through twice and they had no problem. Were you lookin' kinda sus? j/k 🙂

[nimble aurora]

Went through the first one without a problem, on the second one they did a full on pat down. Maybe I looked dangerous

[half topaz]

damn your memory is so good

[faint osprey]

I wasn't patted and I went thru security twice

My Bag was clear tho

[quaint copper]

2015 was peak AOA. Choa solo, heart attack era.

Sad how it turned out right after that crazy year

I didn't even get to mention shinee view

[delicate current]

Man I’m ready to see them again already next year

[crimson igloo]

Forget next year, they better come back in the Fall after another album or two. 🙂

[toxic scroll]

Would be better if they went to EU or preferable some Asian places rather than USA 2 times in 1 year

in my personal opinion

[crimson igloo]

They definitely should go to Asia/Australia and Latin America soon.

[toxic scroll]

[delicate current]

Yeah I think Asia and Latin America would be nice

I jist Don’t want them to be too tired

I would love for a Boston stop next tour

I think it would be a good option for the more north east states and some parts of Canada as well

[obtuse cloud]

Boston would be nice so I wouldn't have to travel

[dusk hollow]

That would be one more place within driving distance for me

Slightly closer than DC it looks like

[white charm]

They gonna bein New York

[wild linden]

Gov ball

[white charm]

Will check it out

[white charm]

Send me please

[white charm]

Going to see twice in MetLife

[white charm]

Yes

[tranquil schooner]

Youre from boston? Me too

[obtuse cloud]

.....

I'll turn this car around next time

[wild linden]

boston would be convenient so i wouldnt have to drive back home to nyc to go to concerts lol

going to go see epik high next week in boston

[tranquil schooner]

Wait dad no stop

[slender coral]

jumping into this thread again because i see it’s still open but dreamcatcher in boston would be awesome 🥺 last concert, i had to drive to reading because ny was sold out and this time it was nyc. just wish it was closer to home.

[delicate current]

I’m from Boston too

Me and my brother always gotta travel to New York for concert

[slender coral]

I’m also going to see epik high in boston!

[tranquil schooner]

Im skipping epik high… ill be in california at that time

[smoky relic]

Looking at the show in Atlanta but possibly not with this whole registration for tickets

[cedar tinsel]

Not gonna be in New England soon..heading back to west coast

[quaint copper]

Throw me ur favorite 10 songs atm. Like what u are generally going for now

[white charm]

Lol damn there’s to many

Give me a few

[quaint copper]

Lol. Like for example. My current current top ten I'm always kinda listening to: DC reason, younha oort cloud, blackpink shut down, seventeen hot, twice special, ikon airplane, Kara step, Ive titles

If im recommending some pre-2017: hyolyn- blue moon, block b - a few years later, mamamoo - decalcommanie, ohmygirl -close/1step2step, big bang 2015 MADE series, f(x) -4walls, shinee - view, 9muses dolls

Not sure where to go from there since krn music genre branched out all over and it goes towards more pop, rap/hip-hop, ballad/drama ost

[wild linden]

didnt expect to see younha mentioned

underrated singer

[quaint copper]

I'd love to throw more younha reco but most seem to end up wanting more catcher pop artists

When I do start recommending..

[quaint copper]

My personal favorite #1

But im also krn so my tastes are def diff from nonfluent fans

[wild linden]

lol thats fair

im not krn but i was hooked onto krn music a while ago from indie music like Nell

[quaint copper]

It's why I tend not to like generally all pop music. After the comeback hypes. I'm stuck on the good old ballads and bsides

Yeah iono what happened to them after they left woollim

[wild linden]

still making music but very much indie nowadays lol

[quaint copper]

I always wanted korea to get big with rock music but it's def becoming niche again

Hence why DC is more pop rock but fills that void

[wild linden]

yea they kinda have to tailor their music that way to get a foothold in korea

[quaint copper]

Lol. Who remembers when aoa debuted as a band...

[wild linden]

[quaint copper]

Major cope

Choa's voice was really good for high rock styled music too

[wild linden]

you got me digging into younha's music again lol

[quaint copper]

Her latest album. Is soooo good

Omfg

[wild linden]

i think the last time i listened to her full album was rescue

parade was good

[quaint copper]

Yeah I bought it when it came out

I forgot to buy her latest album

And now it's all sold out

Smh*

[wild linden]

ooof

[quaint copper]

Lol. But I am super happy she getting her mainstream money

About damn time

[wild linden]

yea

Another underrated singer was Minseo

feels like she fell off the map

she went into acting for a bit too?

[quaint copper]

Yeah, it's not ez. Was she under mystic?

[wild linden]

yea

[quaint copper]

Might make sense why. They wanted to debut Billie fast

Prob poured all the resources there

[wild linden]

yea

all her songs were good too

too many underrated artists never get their time in the limelight

[quaint copper]

Remember this sneak from yg? https://youtu.be/rJOdXEJ2gmU

Legit popped up and never came back

I still play this song

[wild linden]

didnt she have a scandal

[quaint copper]

Oh? Maybe I missed that news

Gdi

[wild linden]

she was in her mid to late 20s or early 30s and was being promoted as if she was in her teens

[quaint copper]

Gdi yg

Lol

My love hate relationship with yg continues

[wild linden]

nvm it wasnt her

was another artist with blue hair

[quaint copper]

But let's be real, I wouldn't be shocked if yg tried something stupid

My favorite label but they get themselves into a lotta dumb shit

[wild linden]

looks like she just does covers on her own youtube channel now

[quaint copper]

Yo soul, take a listen to the stuff I recommended and lmk (feel free to dm) if u want more reco

I can easily reco more to your preferred style

Just throwing a variety for now

[white charm]

New jeans- all their songs
BiBi- Vengeance
IVE- all songs
StayC- beautiful monster
Fifty fifty- Cupid
BlackPink- tally
DC- Scream
Huh Yunjin- I Doll
Bam bam- slow mo
Mark- child

[quaint copper]

Nice nice

Ive titles still so catchy

[white charm]

Love Dive is my favorite by them

[quaint copper]

I think the newjeans songs are all solid but maybe I outgrew myself a bit. Lol just not the same cause it gives me teen girl vibes a little too hard

So I don't hate it when it pops up but I don't look for their songs to play

Lol

[white charm]

It’s my daily music in the morning to hype me up

😅

[quaint copper]

Lol for the past week. My morning hype is DC

Was busy catching up to their things for the concert and now I'm like blasting reason when I wake up

[white charm]

Tbh I only listened to Boca before i knew they were having a concert like 3 weeks ago. Now I listen to almost all of them

[quaint copper]

Oh right I been also really into stray kids cause of my gf

Lol

[white charm]

Only like one song called thunderous

[quaint copper]

Lolol. That's the exact song I been blasting

oh this is super random but one of the songs i really liked and unfortunately couldn't get into their other songs: weeekly - after school

that title was so well done

[white charm]

You going to stray kids concert this year?

[quaint copper]

Nah, wayyy too pricey

Lol. I like them, but not that much like DC, blackpink

[delicate current]

I’m waiting for lesserafim

They will def go to New York since Yunjin is from there

[quaint copper]

omg how can i forget. i knew i was missing someone. lol lesserafim antifragile on the current list too

[delicate current]

It’s a jam

[crimson igloo]

Anyone know what the size of the car decal is?

[pale mica]

crap I don't have a ruler or tape measure nearby uhh its a square about the size of my hand when my hand is fully streched out?

[crimson igloo]

so like 4x4 or 5x5? lol

[pale mica]

oh like 8x8

i mean like my middle finger to my wrist
