i would sell both of our souls to go to this

f(x) and EXO together...feel bad for f(x). They'll have fun but the fans will be there mostly for EXO.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

i'm really curious how this will be done. will f(x) do their thing then exo? or will they mix them up? will they do any special stages together. i really hope there isn't rudeness from exo fans, but especially after the whole issue of the music shows during this summer that could be a pipe dream.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

welp, f(x) and exo are going to have concerts on christmas eve and christmas, sm pls
hoping for some special stages (goodbye summer live please and thank you)

[luvey.livejournal.com]

i thought christmas was more of a couple's holiday than a family holiday in korea? like it isn't a big deal?

[kneekalies.livejournal.com]

aw f(x) and EXO together ...kinda sad but not surprising
but this sounds so much fun I'm surprised GG is only getting 1 concert, but I think Dec. is probably going to be a busy month for them anyway.
shame that they have to work on/around christmas tho

The fact that TVXQ and SJ both get two nights to themselves makes it seem kind of like a last hurrah for them before 86-line enlists next year IMO.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

i guess this is the concert Hae Mama was talking about and there were confusion if this was SJ's encore. guess not. which makes me a little happy as the USA maybe still has a chance to get an SS5.

i like the idea behind a week long series of concerts by their artists, but for SNSD, HoMin and SuJu, i wonder how different the concerts will be versus their own individual concerts. it does really move away from what i originally thought an SMTown show would be - rare collabs between artists, special stages that one wouldn't see at the group's individual concerts. with this new concept of SMTown week, i do wonder if the there still will be special collabs.

either way, why wasn't i born into a rich family so i can fly off to see this???


edit to add: wait! i noticed no BoA??? what??

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

I know, first thing I saw was that BoA wasn't part of the line-up...

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

poor f(x).

[mighty-orange.livejournal.com]

f(x) will end up getting shit from the cray EXO stans eurgh no

But other than that how nice, I suppose ahem

[0oo-daphne-oo0.livejournal.com]

Omg, two days of Super Junior and TVXQ! And my Shinee bbs!!! So jealous! :'(

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Poor f(x). But i guess it makes sense for them to have a joint date rather than their own since they have yet to hold their own concert. Wouldnt want their first solo concert to be part of the smtown series.

Though it's going to be extra busy for these people. How are thye going to deal with the gayos/award shows though? Maybe that's why shinee's on the first day.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

yeah, at first i was like, 'hmmm why f(x) and exo joint concert tho, is going to be messy' but i guess if it wasn't for the joint date neither of them would be able to participate in this smtown week considering they don't have their own concerts yet

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

pissed that sm is making homin do this shit on their 10th anniversary tbh

fuck yall

[blueskies14.livejournal.com]

I agree! I feel bad for the fans in korea and the international fans planning to go this concert.

and airplane and pretty girl

The venue for TVXQ concert is really shitty (www.kintex.com/client/_eng/c020102/c020102_05.jsp / https://twitter.com/WorldMaxified/status/397887028324360194/photo/1 ) and the prices for the ticket are ridiculously high (110000 won / $103 USD). SM really did them dirty for their 10th anniversary *sigh*

[luvey.livejournal.com]

that is a crappy venue. wow. i wonder why they would do this??

[torontok.livejournal.com]

so two out of the three groups I Stan for are having a joint concert......brb selling my eggs on eBay
goodbye summer live please.and krisber interactions

[rosetta16.livejournal.com]

don’t know if I'm a bad TVXQ fan or what but I don’t really mind the SM week, like TVXQ is having their concert the day of their anniversary, plus they r celebrating like they wanted, in a small venue, so what’s the big deal of other artist having concerts the other days??

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

mte

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

poor fx they're gonna get bashed fo sho by idiot exo fans

[1111-am.livejournal.com]

Welp. Jealous of anyone who will get to go to see Homin. Not like I could ever afford it, but it'd be fun to go to all dates just to check it out.

[indira22.livejournal.com]

i need to come..but no i cant..SM..u just..ughhhh
and goodbye summer live is a must!!

[hai-no-souretsu.livejournal.com]

As much as I'm happy for TVXQ, seeing no BoA and Kangta in this list makes me extremely sad.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

I finally thought SM is making their artists perform 24 hours a day for a week, but nothing. There's always next year.

Is EXO really getting a fanclub name before f(x)?

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

yeah, most likely.

Real talk tho - exo fans need it tbh, the incidents have been piling up and a lot of the disorganization / general craziness will be tempered by an official fanclub.

While it'd be a nice sentiment for f(x) fans, there is really no need for them to have one

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

*weeps openly*

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I would love to go to a concert on Christmas Eve.

Maybe they should have held off on this until f(x) has a solo concert so they could have their own day.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

I have a legitimate question: ever since the post about sistar's kinda fail solo concert (even off the ridiculous digital success of their songs), is it out of the realm of possibility that SM are doing a joint thing with EXO because the girls wouldn't be able to sell out the venue themselves?

I don't know a whole lot about the f(x) fandom in Korea, but I know that it's probably the smallest

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

I was definitely thinking this. SM's covering their asses in terms of sales, because there's no way EXO won't sell the concert out. I'm just a little concerned for the eventuality that it'll only be EXO fans filling the seats o____o

[ideservestars.livejournal.com]

i just feel bad that they have to perform on christmas imo

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

If only I didn't have to work. Oh wait I don't....um.. If I only I had the money. UGH so tempting

[layna.livejournal.com]

Even if I could go to this, my mom picked pretty much those dates to come visit me for the first overnight trip (3 nights!) since I moved out 12 years ago soooooooooooo... Mom > favs. This time :)

Dawwwwws!!
