[OMONA Exclusive] Review of KPOPKNIGHT concert in London

[seulgibear]

At the beginning of January, a MX fan account posted news about the group, alongside Tahiti, Seven O'Clock and Se7en, would be attending some new festival-type thing held in London, which of course sent European Monbebes (OP included) into a frenzy only to realise a few minutes later that everything about the show read scam. With only 3 weeks

Tahiti seemed to be having lots of fun on social media! Jerry is the biggest sweetheart, y'all should check out her youtube channel, Welcome to Jerry land! she uploads amazing song covers (a truly underrated vocalist) as well as travel vlogs from Tahiti activities.

This concert was always going to be a shitshow. I feel bad for the fans but at least the acts had fun in London!

Lol to be honest I am shocked that this event even went ahead and the organizers didn't just run off with everyone's money instead! I'm sorry you had to endure this crap op, good on you for being honest about what happened and typing this all out! I hope you get to see Monsta X properly at their own concert soon, glad you enjoyed the show itself at least. Your report is giving me so many badly run K-pop event flashbacks because they all seem to be giant messes in the same way, all caused by shoddy promotion. It's disgusting how these crooks keep trying to make easy money off kids that don't even have that much to spare, especially in London where life is already expensive enough

i mean, fans won't just miss a possible one in a million chance to see their faves up close considering groups very rarely come on europe dates so i disagree with saying it's also fans responsibility to not go. of course fans are gonna eat whatever stale shit is handed to them just to make sure their favourite groups don't feel unloved and the group would want to come back. mbbs were trying to organise themselves as much as possible where the companies failed so i blame a lot of people for this mess before i would ever blame the fans. like starship should have first of all been way more careful. it's baffling they just sent mx across the world to such a poorly organised event (i mean, when they announced mx is coming wembley hadn't even been booked) then the arena should have been more strict and the organisers shouldn't have been awful people.

i have seen monsta x at their own concert before and it was wonderful

Of course it's on the organizers first, they seriously should not be getting away with this! Regarding the fans I mean that they should set a standard so people don't catch on to the fact that they'll take -anything- because that's why there are so many scam artists coming in. For examplen this case the fact that everyone only had 2 weeks to get a ticket, it's so unfair towards fans that don't have money saved or are worried about being scammed and I don't like the idea that they will get shamed into spending money they don't have to support their group just because someone is keen to exploit the rarity of K-pop events. It was obvious from the start that they weren't going to get a full house so the "we need to make sure they don't play to an empty room" splan was never going to happen

Thanks for the detailed run-down op!

I can't imagine that the organizers has money left to do another event like this. Hell, they are probably in debt right now. Hopefully all the companies will blacklist this organizer in the future...

I am glad I didnt go. The travel and ticket werent worth it and I have loved MX since before debut.
