There’s another K-pop event happening in my area and it prompted me to make this post because as a K-pop fan fan I like to engage with other fans. I’ve been going to a lot of different concerts, but those are like at highly specific events. I want to also participate I guess in K-pop culture beyond going to something that’s more specialized in that way and more things like every day casual beyond just talking about it online.
That said I’ve been noticing that K-pop events at least the ones that I’ve seen (here in the US at least) tend to be at cafés, which I have no problem with this. I think that’s a great spot, but in terms of the actual activities of the event, it’s mostly cupsleeve events and/or photo card exchanges/buying. There’s nothing wrong with this, but like I often times wish there would be more activities than just that especially if it’s only that. Me personally I’m not into designing cup sleeves I don’t even use cup sleeves and I don’t collect photo cards.
That said what I would like to see maybe in terms of I guess more creativity or diversity in activities maybe they could do like K-pop bingo for whatever group they’re doing or K-pop Jeopardy or Kahoot or Uno and granted not every café has a TV that you can use that everyone can look and point at I get that but like there’s also libraries where you can rent out a room for free and do things like that or have a K-pop guess that song and there’s just so many more things you can do than just the cup sleeve and photo trading that I see I’d say 98% of the time.
And I just want to highlight that the setting isn’t I guess a dealbreaker here it’s just the types of activities cause they also have raffles. I think that’s pretty cool but the primary like function of the event in terms of activities that are being done and posted about are usually what I named before.
That said anyone know why this is at least why is it always like those specific activities? Has anyone had different experiences with K-pop events outside of concerts and kcon and things like that? What activities do you think would be something that would be genuinely fun to do/fun to see at things like this other than the cupsleeve/photo trading?
