You have been either streaming their latest albums, or watching their performances online a little more often than usual, and never thought the day would come that you could even see them live. And suddenly you are finally going to your first K-pop concert.
While they have finally released information about where they are going on tour you realize it is only a couple months away. This can cause you to wonder if you will be traveling to a new city or even going out of state, too. Also, consider going with people you know or even mutuals you have met on social media as well. There is no need to worry because we all been there and a reason why I want share some tips to make your first K-pop concert enjoyable!
- Arrive early
In K-pop, a big priority is merchandise so I’d advise getting some official gear. Depending on the venue, the merchandise booth will open early before the concert starts. It’s better to show up a few hours early to get a good spot in line especially since merchandise sells out fast. Make sure to check official venue, social media, or website for updated information.
2. Check the venue’s bag policy
This is the most important information you will need especially with the clear bag policy if you’re not aware of it. I would make sure to visit the venue’s website so you know which back to buy before the concert.
3. Dress comfortably
A common thing in the K-pop community is wanting to look cute, but if your feet are hurting by the time when you get to the venue, you probably won’t enjoy the concert. Especially when the concert involves a lot of dancing, and jumping, you would want to wear comfortable clothes.I would want to be realistic about what you’re going to wear which you can always find a lot of inspiration on Pinterest, X, or Instagram.
4. Stay hydrated
Depending on how long you’ve been at the venue, concerts especially can be long and crazy make sure you stay hydrated by bringing a water bottle with you and also bring snacks to keep yourself energized throughout the show.
5. Bring extra batteries and a power bank
Since we’re at a time where we’re always on our phones and taking pictures and recording every movement at concerts, it’s important to keep your phone charged so make sure to bring a power bank. A popular thing is having a light stick to always bring extra batteries for it as well.
6. Be present & have fun!
From personal experience, we sometimes get a little carried away between trying to record and sharing all of our favorite moments on social media. It’s okay to put your phone down during one or two songs just sing along and dance because you never know when your artist will come back again to enjoy the moment. This also being your chance to experience magic of K-pop live, so make the most of it!
