What do you think about a tour of KDH singers, together with different former/current idols covering the soundtrack? Plus bringing their own songs, like I Am. I’m thinking surprise guests, dates, combinations (Ejae + Blackpink, etc) could get people more excited.
From the perspective of Kpop industry as a whole, or the Kpop business participants (Black Label/JYP through Twice), this is the most direct way to convert KDH fans to listeners. Actual Huntrix/Saja. You could just go maximum vocal and star power, but have some surprise around who will perform at what show. Because current idols will be busy, and former ones might not want to make a big work commitment. Have different big names just build off each other and the movie.
It seems like it could get repetitive, but I’ve heard of artists doing the same song multiple times at a concert. To avoid repetition, you’d have guest idols do some of their own songs. That would extend the concert runtime beyond the soundtrack too. Ive’s I Am seems like a must. There seem to be references to DDU DU DDU DU in How It’s Done. Have some marketing around the big names, and maybe a lottery like element where you don’t know if one (member/group) of them will show up. Like say Rose commits for a specific date, but will also be at one surprise date. I mention her since she’s Black Label, English fluent, and I’d think it would be mutually beneficial.
People are excited to hear Ejae. Have her sing some songs she wrote besides the soundtrack, like Armageddon or Psycho. Or join idol groups and sing one of their songs. Or have someone like Rose join the Huntrix songs, not just covering them solo. Have a male idol sing a female song—Stray Kids doing How It’s Done—or females sing Soda Pop, etc.
Possibly a mix of stars and talent from different times, with different levels of recognition. Something to sell Kpop, its talent, and some earlier idols who paved the way. Not too many other songs to dilute the focus, but enough to reinforce the idea KDH was born out of a love of Kpop. Maybe well-known current or former idols or singers from Kpop like Ailee. Some lesser known strong vocalists. Or possibly even idols who can capably sing a song of their choosing.
A simpler KDH business brainstorm than my last one
Note: I wrote this almost two months ago but didn’t get to post. Maybe this idea will be obsolete soon, if they actually tour and it works without guests. That would be a short concert, where they’d have to repeat songs. Maybe instruct the crowd to go all out sing along when they repeat the song? That could be a unique experience where so many people know the lyrics. Or seeing they did three 8 hour rehearsals a week and Ejae’s warming up 3 hours in, if it’s hard on their vocal cords. But it sounded like she did so many takes and demos maybe she’s used to that kind of output.
