#all we got was nct dream and the terribly managed rv tour like. okay.

[suuho]

SM's europe management has been so bad lately. I wanted to attend the R to V tour the moment it was announced and I basically just lucked out by stumbling over the promoter they are using cause SM didn't post ANYTHING on the official Red Velvet accounts after announcing the tour. Just saw today that the same promoter is going to be in charge for the WayV fanmeet tour making it to London and Paris and it immediately put me off from even wanting to attend that. Like the Red Velvet concert tickets only went on sale 13 days !!! before the first of the shows. They kept saying 'we will update you soon' and didn't post anything so I am feeling sorry for all European SM stans at this point honestly. If SM keeps using this promoter for Europe events its bound to be terrible. I still got my tickets to see Red Velvet because francly with an 8 year old girl group I don't even have hope to see them go on another tour after this one and I need to go while I can, but I am expecting it to be an absolute shit show after the last 8 weeks of mess and silence from SM on all their official channels.

it is hilarious, because i saw that they announced the wayv fanmeet (that i would love to attend) and it is literally in three weeks. like, uhm. what???? so i am absolutely not surprised that this is the same promoter they have used for red velvet as well. last week i stood at work and got an email from my local venue that rv is playing on the 27th of march???? and it was so random, because i had completely forgotten they are even touring europe. luckily, i saw them last year already so i don’t have the need to go and see them again but i was so fucking puzzled because wdym red velvet is playing berlin in two weeks and this is the first i’ve heard of it?

the thing is, with the new shinee social needs admin i actually have hope that they will inform us in due time but it still hinges all on sm and they are obviously absolutely terrible at giving us (european fans) anything. so, i’m not really getting my hopes up for anything, and at this point i’m pretty sure this festival date is the only shinee date we’ll be getting in europe in 2023. i would love for them to pleasantly surprise me and prove me wrong, but i doubt that will happen.

and don’t get me started on the european dates that were teased for the nct 127 tour and never happened. like, what the fuck was that fr. 🤣
