BigHit how about you manage your staff better instead of rushing into these things. Idk why they couldn't wait another 6 months - a year to hold a concert at a larger venue which is something they're very much capable of. Are they striving to be the next TS/B.A.P ◔_◔

There's so much drama and issues going on between BigHit and fans right now. They should seriously stop and listen to the fans.

And yeah, why is their concert venue so tiny. I mean, they are just one year old but their Fanmeeting venue (which is almost like a concert) is much bigger than that. You're right OP, BTS can totally handle a bigger stage. It makes me wonder sometimes why they decide on such small venues.

And on another note. Melon premier showcase LIVE on youtube and Melon 19 August 8:00pm

This is one of the few times I feel like a fandom's anger towards a company is justified. BigHit is so money hungry and they don't even try to hide it, from the overpriced dolls to the extended membership period and now a concert barely two months away while fans will probably still be recovering from fansign costs. And what's up with messages left on the fancafe's suggestion board being deleted?

[jeje-bts.livejournal.com]

I guess the more popular they become the more issues arises. To think that they would learn from JYP when handling something like this. And I have no idea why they deleted messages. Its futile

Wow,I didn't know you had to pay for fan signs

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Smaller groups may do a first come first serve type of thing (though Hyuna did it too) so you get in by only having to purchase one album. Most fansigns are by lottery so the more popular a group is, the more albums you have to buy to get in. I've heard of Bangtan fans buying up to 10 albums and still not getting in. That's over $150 for one fansign. Multiply that by about 8-10 fansigns and that's a crazy amount to spend if you can't sell your remaining albums.

If I'm not mistaken it can hold about 3000 people?

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

It holds 2000 actually...so less than their fanmeeting

[jeje-bts.livejournal.com]

Wow even lower than I thought -_- wtf big hit.

[koibira.livejournal.com]

this seems rushed and just a way to get more $$$ but nonetheless i'm excited for them? 😎 i wish they could get some rest first tho

i'm horrible at keeping up w/fandom. i was wondering what all the fansite owners were upset about. hopefully bighit resolves this issue but it seems doubtful.

Is this the same group that had a reality show where they went to LA and went through some sort of hip-hop/rap boot camp?

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Yes

[obviousgirl.livejournal.com]

Ah ok,thanks. Nice to see they survived Coolio's wrath.

Mess

I kind of like that it's a smaller venue because it means that you actually get to see the members upclose and personal, rather than see them, ant size. *shrug* but that's just me... I like the intimate atmosphere.

Although, I don't really agree with all these things coming one after the other. Like....they seriously need to give us a break. I can't freaking buy everything that they dish out. I'm definitely not an ATM machine. ;( ;( ;( They also need to give the boys some breathing room. When I watch all those behind the scenes, one of them is always sleeping or that fainting spell from J-hope. ;(

That venue capacity

Big hit, you have to be kidding

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

if bighit is anything like ts then this means a world wide tour is in the works. i'm so ready

[hyemint.livejournal.com]

lol i'm pressed they get a solo con already and yet glam................

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Idk, I don't think concerts should just be there for bragging rights and number media play. Playing smaller intimate concerts is really good for building up fanbases.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with the venue capacity? 3000 people is a pretty decent number for a still rookie group tbh.

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

Ugh wtf @ BigShit, even Rap Mon didn't know they'd be holding a concert?? Unless he was actually kidding and I didn't get it lol idk.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

wow don't they have enough things to handle atm?..smh

idc bout the small venue, might be a strategy but yh the boys need a fucking rest. 8(
3- or 5thousand, the boys need to work their asses off. i sincerely hope they're being paid well (reads: at all).
