The Inevitable Comparison!!! [Round 1]
So first I was going to post my fan account but....I forgot my camera in my friend's car yesterday so once I get that back I'll do the fan account.
But I might as well start off with (of course because I can't help it) the comparison of JYJ and HoMin live!
For those of you who don't know, I saw HoMin live yesterday in New Jersey at this free KBS concert and I'll be seeing them again in two weeks at SM Town! I also saw JYJ's showcase in NYC and concert in NJ. Let's get this party started!
I think it's fair to compair JYJ's free concert to HoMin's free concert and JYJ's paid concert to HoMin's paid concert.
Vocals:
Well I think it's obvious that JYJ is the better vocal group just because they have JaeSu, but during JYJ's free concert they all had a terrible cold and well....HoMin didn't. So just because of unfortunate circumstances I'll have to give that one to HoMin!
Dance:
Umm.....KYHD? Yea, HoMin wins this.
Set List:
Seeing as I hated half of "The Beginning".....
Audience Interaction:
JYJ's free concert had MC's to translate everything they said while HoMin just kind of were like "Hi, we're DBSK." Although I was sad about how short the MC sections were in JYJ's concert, AT LEAST THEY HAD ONE!!! But this is because JYJ had the entire show to themselves while HoMin had 15 minutes. Nevertheless, this prize goes to JYJ!
Fan merch:
JYJ had nothing....the KBS concert in combination with the festival caused me to spend all of my money. They had HoMin, JYJ, AND DBSK STUFF!!!! So yea, HoMin wins this category.
Turnout:
It's hard to judge for HoMin's show...but 7,000 people lined up to see JYJ even though only 3,400 got in. For the KBS concert there were 5,000 VIP seats, 15,000 regular seats, and grass for everyone else....I'd guess that in all there was like.... 22,000 people there? So 22,000 divided by 4minute, B2ST, SISTAR, SHINee, DBSK, 2PM, G.NA, and about a gazillion other artists that no one except old people enjoyed....split evenly that would be around 2,750. Of course judging by the crowd reactions to HoMin when they came on stage I think it's safe to say that many of those people would've shown up if it was only them coming so we'll bump that up to like.... 8,250. I mean, even the old ladies next to me were freaking out. But because of the setting, my memories from lining up to see JYJ the first time are much more powerful and I'm pretty sure lots of Cassies just decided to go to SM Town and skip out on the KBS drama llama so again I'll give this one to JYJ!
Clothing:
Fugly, for both of them. Yoochun was dressed like a fish but Junsu looked ok, same for Yunho. It all comes down to the battle of feathers between Jaejoong and Changmin. Luckily Jaejoong's feathers weren't as nearly as fugly as Changmin's. So JYJ wins this one as well!
Chaos leading up to the event:
JYJ's visa issues vs. KBS's stupidity issues..... I'm pretty sure the fall of the Roman Empire was more organized than the KBS concert but JYJ's concert organization was on a different level of hell. But congrats HoMin, you win the award for being a part of one of the most unorganized events I have ever attended in the history of forever!
Annoying fangirls:
JYJ.
Annoying ajumma fans:
HoMin.
Diversity:
JYJ. Although for KBS many Cassies I saw weren't Korean, the festival as a whole felt like I had been dumped on the Korean countryside. And....umm.....racist ajumma??? Probs just a misunderstanding.
Fanboys:
Surprisingly....JYJ!
Amount of physical damage:
For JYJ I left with bruises, for HoMin I left with scrapped vocal chords. JYJ was much more of a physical battle though.
