To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

As a result, you see many established pretty popular acts not have a concert for years after their popularity. For example, secret and iu are pretty popular and have been for awhile but I don't think they've had a solo concert yet. Even groups that have, like b2st, have only had one, about to be 2, after being around for a year.
I read somewhere that concerts in Korea are also super cheap, like $10~$15 or something even for big name artists (don't remember if it was a random website, blog site or TL blog or thread).
No, I don't think they're cheap at all. If you average the ticket prices for each seat, it's approximately $100, and if you're paying for some of the better ones, it skyrockets up to around $180. Keeping in mind that this is in USD, I would say that it's in fact rather expensive for the average Korean fan.
Compared to some tickets in the us thats just average though, which shows that Korean artists can't expect much from ticket sales at all compared to the us.
Most of the readers of this thread hates to see the same videos posted a lot of times.

But what about questions asked million times before? They don't consume space nor waste something like 1mb but they sometimes derail discussions(none this time ) and are found easier using tl search unlike videos. Just saying though. I have nothing against anyone .

Its mostly disappointment because they used to be so much better and it all just went downhill after gee. They're still average but they can't compare to what they used to be and got eclipsed by a lot of the newer girl groups.
