    I’ve only been to one in my time and it was the Twice concert on the first day of Oakland. It was an incredible experience seeing that energy from everyone. I took a friend who hasn’t been to a K-pop concert but has been to a bunch of EDM shows and he even said he’d never seen that much energy before.

    I really want to see Gidle in concert. I had tickets to their show but it was canceled due to COVID. That was my one chance to see OT6!

      I saw G-Idle in Manila. It was such a blast. Everyone has mad high energy and Shuhua shines like moonlight irl. She has some crazy glow and charm that translates better on stage.

      My fav still has to be Mamamoo tho. Great sound, great energy, and watching the girls perform each other’s solo songs melts my heart. Wheein performing Solar’s Honey is everything.

      Twice always puts on a great show! I’ve seen them 3 times, and inexplicably, I’ve enjoyed each one more than the last!

      I saw (G)I-DLE recently! Incredible group live - my bias is Yuqi, and it was awesome to see that energy she brings in person. Hopefully you’re able to catch them soon, even if it’s OT5!

    I saw BigBang on the MADE tour T__T So good! Probably biased since it was my first real concert ever. Taeyang and G-Dragon’s solo shows were also very good; pretty much all the kpop shows I’ve been to have been amazing (BigBang, Taeyang, CL, G-Dragon, Blackpink(x2), BTS(x2)). I would love to see Dreamcatcher, EXO, or Shinee!

    Late to the party but I’ve been to a few. Mamamoo, Gidle, Itzy, BTS, Suga. For krnb/khiphop, I’ve seen DPR and Epik High. Still trying to catch Balming Tiger and any 88rising shows.

    Best for me would be Mamamoo and BTS, simply because they actually sing live without an accompanying vocal track.

    Honestly, watching Kai live is on another level. I’ve seen him in concert three times and, at this point, the chance of seeing him again is likely what would draw me out of concert retirement.

    All of the kpop concerts I’ve been to have been good though. Big Bang, EXO, Red Velvet, SuperM, Seventeen… all good live.

    Woozi is smol.

      Red Velvet is the one that I desperately want to see! I’m also on concert retirement, but that would be the one group to yank me back out.

    I’ve been fortunate to see the following:

    Dreamcatcher (3x) Twice (3x) Blackpink Aespa (G)I-DLE Itzy Loona

    Favorite concert by far are the Twice and Dreamcatcher concerts! Not only were they incredible live in terms of singing and performance, they had incredible stylists with an incredible crowd, and really made me feel like the steep prices were worth.
