I am pretty sure most of you are aware of the controversy surrounding Cortis and their world tour recently. Many people took issue with the fact that the members didn’t have any outfit change and the setlist. Now at first I wasn’t aware with the issue regarding the setlist, until I checked it and understood why people who attended the concert were quite upset. Now of course the members absolutely killed it like always. Their energy was amazing and they really did good with the material they were given. I honestly don’t issue with the fact they didn’t change outfits, while I understand why some people might find it boring I am honestly don’t see anything with it. Of course the set list is a whole other issue.
At the moment cortis only has 2 EP’s and 12 songs in their discograph. The concert lasted around an hour and 40 minutes, and they basically performed their whole discography twice. Not only that but they performed RedRed and youngcreatorcrew a whopping 5 times each. Now I think it’s safe to say that this is generally ridiculous, while it’s quite common for younger kpop groups to perform a few songs twice for the encore performing the same song 5 times it’s too much. They could replace some of the setlist with one ir two cover songs or solo stages for each member. Not only that I think that hybe should had waited until their next release to even do a world tour since from my understanding they are already preparing for their next comeback. I know big hit probably rushed the tour giving the insane demand Cortis has worldwide and they wanted to capitalize on it, but their really isn’t any harm on waiting another 3 to 5 months to begin the world tour, they would have more material to work with.
Another thing they could had done to fill the time was perform games like some groups do except of repeating the same songs. I think it would had been a better idea of maybe doing a fancon/showcase tour first except of instantly jumping to the world tour. When you label something a world tour fans expectations instantly go up, with a fancon or showcase tour fans instantly now that the concert might not be that long as a regular concert in a full tour aswell as some fun moments like games. Plus it could help the members gain more experience so that they could be even better when they start their actual tour and even the increase the demand. They could had kept the same dates, but like I states labeled it a showcase tour at least.
I also have seen many people call the people that are not to happy about the setlist ungrateful. While some fans are taking it a bit to far, you also have to understand where they are coming from. Imagine going to the concert, and you literally hear all the same songs performed twice with 2 of them being performed 5 times. Of course I am not criticizing the members, they absolutely killed it with what they were given but hybe instea. They should had prepared it better it atleast waited a few months. They rushed this tour and didn‘t really planned it through so that they could capitalize on the hype.
