I would like to preface this by saying I’m not a Blink, just someone who has been in the kpop scene since 2013 & has listened to their music before. I don’t know specific personal details about them as a group/individuals, just whatever has been on twt or tt throughout the years. I’m indifferent about their music/performances/appearances.
I do NOT want anyone to take this as a chance to hate on them, this is not the place for you. I don’t believe in unnecessarily hating on something if you personally don’t like it, it’s easy to just move on and find something you like without spreading hate. —————
now on to the actual discussion point lmao:
Kpop groups need to seriously consider having openers & such for their tours (doesn’t have to be all stops, just having some would be enough of a start lol) several groups have done it before, usually with a group pre-debut/debuted under the same company (Ateez with Xikers, they did this perfectly). it’s also just very common in the rest of music industry to have other acts open for the main act, even big names have opening acts.
I’ve been seeing a bunch of hate on Blackpink’s tour. People are always complaining about their performances, they also don’t have a lot of music released as a group, though I think they’re in the middle of releasing work (not sure, pls correct if wrong), members ofc should have their solo stages too. ppl often mention about a lack of energy, but I’ve seen Blinks say it’s for medical reasons and such. I think it would be pretty beneficial for them to tour with an opening group.
who? maybe the new group that YG is currently planning to debut, I think that would be refreshing for everyone, and bc the only other active gg in the company is Babymonster. I don’t think they should have a soloist open, but a couple of soloists opening isn’t the worst option. the kpop companies don’t seem like they’re about to release collabs with each other so that option, while a nice concept (& tbh a lot of capitalistic potential), isn’t realistic. depending on the country, they can switch it up too, it doesn’t NEED to be a kpop artist.
Having another act might give them a bit more of a break. it’s also not like the act is a waste of concert time, fans would be aware of it when purchasing tickets. I just think kpop tours (& tbh most tours in general) have reached a little stagnant point (which makes sense considering the state of the world), there is just a lot of lost potential.
[please correct me if I’ve got any of the information wrong, I’ll edit it]
