Instiz: Fans are mad because of EXO's concert right now

SM basically changed the content of EXO's concert midway through its run and fans who attended earlier are angry that they paid the same amount for tickets but got less content.

EXO's 'The EXO'LuXion' concert was held on March 7th and 8th in the first week and on the 13th, 14th, and 15th on the second week.

All tickets on all dates cost $110. The content between the first and second weeks, however, changed.

1. Playboy was changed to Sehun and Lay and Kai danced alone
2. Runway walking with female models for 'Machine' (7th/8th had no runway X)
3. Growl dubstep + MAMA version (7th/8th had no dubstep versions X)
4. The VCR changed for 'Promise'
5. Thunder + Into Your World double encore (7th/8th had no Thunder encore X)
6. The concert was a little under 3 hours but the second week went over 3 hours
7. Outfits changed a bit and Xiumin revealed his abs under a mesh shirt (7th/8th Xiumin did not show anything at all X...)
8. As an event, threw marshmallows + autographed balls into the crowd (7th/8th no autographed balls and the second week had better marshmallow wrapping + other content with it)

-

"I would be really pissed."

"Wow, that's a lot of changes."

"I can understand stuff like the encore songs changing but changing the actual content of the concert is a bit much..."

"Not even a swap out but adding additional content to a concert... I'm dying of regret ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"I don't get how SM is allowed to get away with this..?"

"I don't need the autographed balls and the marshmallows and Xiumin's abs but adding extra stages is unacceptable."

"I seriously want to cry."

"Encore stages and certain comments can change according to the situation and sure outfits too but changing the actual stages is unacceptable."

"It's ridiculous that there's a 20 minute running time difference between the concerts in the two weeks."

"I went to the 8th concert and I feel so betrayed..."

"Way to make a joke of the consumer..."

those changes are so minor lmao lord

[diicca.livejournal.com]

It's actually pretty common for artist to change the stuff/order/songs from kne cocert to the other in order to give fans a trutly unique experience, the exact same concert is boring for everyone and sometimes staff/managers/artist came up with new ideas based of the public response sl the add the. The next day and stop doing thing that got a awkward/bad response.

[fancy-sheets.livejournal.com]

Lol @ better marshmallow wrapping.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

everyone needs Xiumin's abs TYVM!

I really don't see the big deal

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

How boring it would be if every single concert was identical and you knew what was gong to happen beforehand.

Kids, sometime you get lucky, sometimes you don't.

Mte.

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

lol... concerts aren't always the same everytime. The sooner you figure that out the happier you'll be. What an overreaction.

[diicca.livejournal.com]

Agree and also encore stage change based on the energy of the crowd and the general feeling of the concert.

[utadaboba.livejournal.com]

"unacceptable" "so betrayed"
lol they need to chill

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Anything that eases strain on the boys is a plus in my book.
Plus yall got to see Xiuabs.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

lmao @ 7; the thirst is real


Can someone explain this? "1. Playboy was changed to Sehun and Lay and Kai danced alone"


So Sehun had a solo dance and they chaged it to Lay and Kai? Or what?

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

if i'm not mistaken i think playboy was a dance they all did in pairs, and i think two of the pairs were sehun/kai and xiumin/suho

[jaerotic.livejournal.com]

idk if i'm reading the same comments y'all are bc those arent too bad and yet...

sm pulling stunts like this also intensifies the scalping/overpriced reselling problem exo fandom already has so i get why it's sth to complain abt.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

I've always wanted to see BSB in concert. Lucky!

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

meh I'd be pissed if I paid the same expensive price but got to see less stuff than other people on different nights - it's like seeing a musical on the first weekend and find out they added an entire number the week after?

but then again it's exo so i don't really give a fuck XD

[diamondroad17.livejournal.com]

How is it fair that all tickets cost $110? Tickets are so expensive in Korea but I bet if they do the same show in SEA, it'll be double.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

omg i didn't even read properly i thought they meant tickets for all the concerts were 110$ and i was like wow sm what a great deal /reading fail

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Concerts change but fandom entitlement is what it is...SM you created this type of environment but I am laughing at them adding an entirely new runway stage with models

The only issue I see is an extra encore stage and MAYBE the autographed balls

[blowfishprince.livejournal.com]

was about to point out about the entitlement thing but you pointed it out already so...
hahahahaha it's funny how SM creates problems for themselves. do they really love having problems that much?

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

the only thing i'd be pissed about missing is the xiuboobs tbh

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

well i would not expect anything less from the fandom who complained about the sewol tragedy coming in the way of Exo's
promotions.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

omg really? aw man =/

[doren-e.livejournal.com]

GUYS, 20 MINUTE IS A LOT. It's at least 4 to 6 songs cutted out! Okay, they seem to be overreacting to a lot of things, but if the main topic is the 20m less, they're completely right, uhum.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

They're just tweaking the content, though? A stage with runway models sounds like filler to let everyone rest between sets.

I've been to shows where the band played two songs then walked off... (and they were great shows too).

[jacky-snoopy.livejournal.com]

I would be mad too if I missed out on seeing Xiumin's abs in real life tbh

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

20 mins is honestly a lot but alot of these changes seem to be explained by having to add extra dates thus running out of supplies like the marshmallows + autographed balls

the rest seems like exhaustion. xiumin shouldn't have to strip and maintain his perfect abs when he's on the verge of passing out and cutting songs sucks, they should of just had them lip sync entire numbers like snsd do when they're performing for 3 hours.

outfits were changed bcuz they got dirty/needed to be repaired and likewises. lord instead of having a witchhunt they should think of why they changes had to occur in the first place.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

mte. i can honestly see both sides of this situation - the 20m seems like a bit unfair but then again, a lot of the other stuff that was added wasn't anything special, imo if it happened to me then i would probably whine for a bit and then forget about it and move on, just thinking about how i enjoyed the concert that i went to at least.

bc i mean i guess this sort of happened with yg fam concerts? like they had lee hi, akmu, team b all perform in japan and in korea afaik but then they never came to perform in like china or taiwan or singapore..

Runway walking with female models

I need images! can you imagine d.o, chen or suho with models? LOL

[froggster.livejournal.com]

that stage looked really lame and awk tbh.

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

If it's 20 minutes of actual concert performance and encores and stuff I can see being mad that you were gipped out of performances. But to actually throw a fit?

Was the concert good? Did you like it when you went? Well shut the fuck up then, there's a lot of people that DIDN'T get to go you cry baby.

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

lmao

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

From a business point of view, this is not professional and I would be not be happy as a customer if the product I bought was different and did not have some features as someone who purchase the same product and same price but at a later time. The goal should be consistency, unless the customer have been told that week 2 will be having different features than week 1.

As a fan, I don't care about the changes other than maybe the autographed ball :x
What bothers me right now is: What prompt management to change the format?! Does that mean the boys basically practiced 2 different versions of the concert ._.

[gee.livejournal.com]

Uhh i'd be pissed if I paid the same price as someone else and they got 20 minutes more for their money. Especially at that price. Changes within a concert are no big deal, but it's shitty to not make sure to have the length be consistent :/

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

Mte

[skidadler.livejournal.com]

Must be super exhausting to be an EXO fan is all I got out of this... But I agree that from a business standpoint that's a bad move for building consumer trust. But I'm sure SM doesn't care for shit like that.

[blowfishprince.livejournal.com]

i can't seem to imagine SM and consumer trust being together hahahahahaha.

[addicted-tvxq.livejournal.com]

that sucks, but damn, at least they get to go their concerts.

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

+1

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

There really shouldn't even have been 1 concert and they're paying for the same amount of time so no I don't see the problem, they never said the acts would be the same lmao.
