This whole thing is just so f‘d up. The organisation is a joke, honestly.

First, we had that whole Monsta X debacle, where they pushed Monsta X to a second (previously not planned) day (apparently MX couldn't travel on the 14th, which kpop flex could and should have known before booking them).

And now that everyone's here in Frankfurt (some even traveled from Asia), the show is not even 5 hours as promised, but 3 (which they announced an hour before the start). The other 2 hours (promised, it was actually 1 hour and a couple of minutes) are preshow (which, the dancing was nice and fun but it's not what everybody paid for).

The show today (Sunday) was supposed to also be 5 hours (13-18, or 1 pm to 6 pm) and now apparently is cut to 13-17 with an unknown amount of pre show (two hours? One hour? Who knows)

And tickets for next year are at 360€ for early entrance when this year they were 160€…

In Short: what an absolute shit show

In Long: we arrived at the venue and I couldn’t believe what I saw. Let me tell you the organization was THE WORST thing I’ve ever seen. I have been to many concerts in my life and also some big kpop concerts and the way this was handled was absolute NOT ok. A structure to line up for the entrance literally did not exist everyone just stood in a giant crowd it was horrible. Also the staff members couldn’t help at all when it came to asking WHERE our entrance was AND NEITHER DID ANY SIGNS or whatsoever. They posted a map a couple days before hand which was great but of literally no use because with the phone you could not get a connection!! food and water was sold out SOOO fast. While standing in the not at all structured waiting “line” to get in we talked to a woman working a Brezel stand and she told us how they had the same capacity of like food and drinks as for the football games that are held in the arena. She said they were sold out of everything under 3 hrs and are shocked and I just thought to myself this is literally soooo stupid because yes even though of course there are also a lot of people for the football matches and they are also waiting in line and getting food, you can not compare a normal football match event with a freaking huge concert festival. People are waiting in line WAY before most football fans would come to the stadium and therefore of course consume way more drinks and food also it’s literally a concert people need to be way more hydrated for this than a freakin football match. Then on the inside the barricades for us normal standing ticket were way tooooo far from the stage. I can understand that they have a separate section for like vip tickets or whatever or just in general to keep it a bit more safe, but there was soooooo much wasted space between me and the people in front of stage it was such a pity I mostly had to watch over the screens which wouldn’t have been necessary if I was a few meters before. And also just ridiculous considering how there was no fucking structure on the outside for not letting a too big crowd form.

THEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST

the organization so far online was already the worst thing I have ever witnessed feeling scammed and being annoyed by everything was literally normal. But when me and my friends were in the car shortly before arriving: IT happened. They dropped the joke that they considered a set list and now all of us knew we were absolutely robbed. We were promised FIVE HOURS of kpop what we got was like two or two and a half hours. the concert was supposed to start at 6 and instead it started at 8. At 6 we got the absolute worst preshow possible!!!!!! No one asked for this and it was a fuuuuvking joke. Like there were some dance groups having some nice performances which, yeah I mean nice the performers were all nice and cute nothing against them but in between there were Speeches of like Korean government officials and fucking commercials presented to us as “preshow” holy shit wtf was this?!?!!?? This was literally the worst thing I ever saw. There was also this hanbok fashion show which yeah they are absolutely stunning but this show was literally longer than the sets of the artist WHICH WE PAYED TO SEE!!!!!!! and before the show there was supposed to be a hanbok fashion show outside at the “Korean festival” that was going on, on the stadium grounds before the concert was supposed to start. AND NOW IT WAS AT OUR SUPPOSED CONCERT TIME. Also I had to cringe so hard because TWO of the dance groups had like fucking squid game remixes omg wtf this shit was so embarrassing I cringed soooo much you have no idea.

Then the concert started and all artist were Introduced which was cute and something I did not expect. Some also mc’ed throughout the show which was a cute way to see them more. Ive was first with three songs and the most that the artist performed were 4 songs. I literally can not tell you how awful this was. Enhypen wasn’t even on the catwalk once and my friends couldn’t see a thing and they came for them it’s so sad. Also 4 songs was just way too short!!!! There were like two special stages one was “let it go” by solar and daehwi which was super random but I really loved it!! And the other was by members of gidle and ehh?!! (With that stupid annoying Justin Bieber song thanks for making me hear Justin Bieber at a kpop festival …)

I had these super intense mamamoo Stans behind me and they kindly asked me if we could switch position for their set and I said yes because I know I would have been so thankful if someone did this for me with the dreamies or Jongin.

And then FINALLY it happened the dreamies started with hot sauce omggg I cried and screamed soo much and I couldn’t see a thing because my makeup was getting into my eyes and it BURNED like hell (hot sauce in my eyes lol) but a tissue helped me hahah. Then they came in front of the catwalk and I could see them better, they performed Ridin AND MY FREAKING LIGHTSTICK BATTERIES DIED thankfully I packed extra ones but changing them in the middle of there set was just sooo stressful hahaha. And then they performed hello future and let me tell you this was my absolute fave performance of the night !!!!!! Firstly because this song is SO dear to my heart and Secondly because it was the performance I could watch the best without the screens in this entire evening. I cried so much omg I was so happy and sang/screamed along like crazy. And then I noticed that I accidentally stopped my recording after like 12 seconds of the song 🧍🏼‍♀️. I mean my recording was shifty af because I did not at all pay attention to it but I would have just loved to have the memory of this moment forever 😔 I hope I can find a really good fancam later. Then they went back to the main stage and did glitch mode ahh it was so intense and nice. The dreamies were so cute and looked fantastic and I’m so soooo happy that I saw them even if it was from far away and WAY too short.

AND THEN IT WAS TIME FOR JONGIN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ugh I can not even omg 😭😭😭😭 I saw him once before in London with superm where I had a really good view so it wasn’t the absolute worst for me to not see him so well (even though it still sucked haha) but having him perform his own solo songs and seeing vanilla live literally my heart omg 😭😭😭 I was there at his first offline solo performance!!!!! I am soo happy and thankful for this!! He also talked about it and was the absolute cutest because he is the absolute cutest and it made me cry sooo much 😭🖤✨ I screamed my heart out and cried!!! sadly he only performed his last song hmm on the catwalk which I could see a bit better but ugh I enjoyed every little second of his “set”. Which leads me to be angry again. 4 songs… 4 freakin songs … I feel like I was the only one in my area that really screamed for him (maybe I just didn’t notice other people screaming or singing but it was so different to all the other performances) and one time when he talked to us the subtitles weren’t there and of course most people couldn’t understand him and it was funny to be able to understand him when most of the stadium didn’t and he also laughed a bit about it but OMG at the same time I feel soooo embarrassed (I also made a tweet about this topic) like especially Jongin is SUCH a huge and professional artist and having only four songs as his first real concert and then this absolute nightmare of organization… I feel soooo ashamed like he and also the others deserved so much more. Really it’s actually so embarrassing.

So yes of course I did enjoy the few things I was giving but omg at the end they even had the AUDACITY to announce a festival next year and already sell the tickets for sooo much more money than this time. No thank you… nooo thanks no not again. Save your money guys. Go wait for your faves to come solo. Lengthwise This wasn’t a festival it was a wannabe award show without awards and in contrast to award shows underwhelming performances. I’m so happy I “saw” the dreamies for the first time and Jongin perform his solos songs (vanilla my beloved I died a thousand times). But omg I don’t ever wanna do this again.

But something that made me laugh sooo much
