Date: 2014-07-01 08:51 am (UTC)I just find his music career really weird. From the moment he became relevant as an actor, his music has really been pushed to the side. Like even Seo In Guk does more music promoting than him.

Date: 2014-07-01 05:29 am (UTC)For example, I would say about 80% of the people in VIP were there for EXO or GD. So EXO/GDs time for fan-related activities was limited to I think 40 minutes. But then you had 2AM and Dynamic Duo who had almost 2 hours each. So therefore, there were a shit-ton more passes for those two artists hence most people got those cards. I went to both the GD and EXO Q&As and there was maybe about 40-60 people in each. Keep in mind they sold HUNDREDS of VIP tickets.
Watching the girl's around me opening up their tickets to find that they got a Dynamic Duo signing or a Crayon Pop hi-touch and start bawling was pretty sad. And with the money spent on that shit, I don't blame them at all.
KCON is literally the worst.
