1) thank you for this write-up!! I love concert reports and this was a great one.

NO THANK U for actually reading this monster and for your really thoughtful replies! I'll compile my replies here for handiness.

… oh I forgot I couldn’t use carriage returns in replies whoops. 2) that’s really interesting that it didn’t sell out either night! I would have thought wanna one alone would do it, given the urgency there (probably the only time they’ll ever promote in australia). 3) agree that aus fans would ABSOLUTELY show for the big girl groups, especially with the size that international kpop fandom is now. There’s no way Twice wouldn’t sell out.

I know, it’s shocking! When I say it didn't sell out, I mean it really DID NOT sell out. There were large swathes of empty seats, even in the 'cheap' seats (spoiler: there were no cheap seats). It was fuller on the first night with EXO, but even then it sold less in total than G-Dragon at the same venue, who in turn sold less than BTS... Diminishing returns, tbh. Local fans aren't endless streams of money and maybe promotors will start to see that.

That said YES I would put down money immediately to go to see Twice! I agree, they could totally do it. Even if they just wanted to test the waters and do a smaller sized tour, like say GOT7-sized venues. That would be awesome.

4) I am curious about which sf9 your fave rapper with the red hair is but since I can’t ID him from that description perhaps I should not kid myself it would be super meaningful to me to know lololol. I’m still waiting for sf9 to sort of transcend themselves with a comeback, but I have more faith that they’ll do it than say up10tion, as much as I respect their skill and as fond as I am of their faces.

@queer-mac and @proteinscollide inform me that my bias is Juho! I love his rap and his looks! On such flimsy bases do I form my opinions L O L. 

I feel like the window for Up10tion is closing? Idk. Maybe I'm being too harsh, they're still young. 

5) my victon knowledge and emotions start and end with ‘one of them has a crush on jimin and I wish him the best’, but I’m glad you got a mullet moment lololol. 6) I’m glad girl’s day were good and also super jealous! I would love to see something and expectation live omigosh. 7) still lolling at australia’s favourite boy band.

But who DOESN’T have a crush on Jimin? Gosh I wonder if it’s the one with the mullet...

I will never stop loling over the 'fave boyband' misstep omg. Always! use! closed! questioning!!!

8) I’m glad there was no sinister reason for D.O’s absence but that is just weird that they didn’t say anything. Maybe if they’d given a reason for him they would have had to mention Lay’s absence, though :// I’m glad they were good, anyway! Watching their performances at the end of year shows last year I just kept thinking they looked exhausted to death, so I’m glad that wasn’t true now, even coming right off a promotional period.

Yeah, exactly, I remember when we discussed that one awards show where almost every one of them looked like they wanted to just quietly lie down in a darkened room. But I think they got a lot of time off this year? (I wish BTS got the kind of time off they did...)

9) Daehwi is very cute and also kind of unashamedly himself even when he got hate on 101, which I respected a lot. (I kept imagining that he was how VIXX’s N might have been as a maknae, but that is perhaps an irrelevantly personal observation.) 10) Those Kylie covers are so cute! Or, well, I only watched Locomotion because of the video quality of the other, but it was delightful. 11) One of the only WJSN facts I know is that their main rapper is Exy and she’s phenomenal

Daehwi! That's really nice to see someone who’s not in the typical mould for a boyband member and still being super successful - is he now my Wanna One bias? I have chosen biases for less! Maybe he is!!

There aren't enough videos up from night 2 yet sadly, if I find a better WJSN video later I will try to swap out links! And omg yes it's Exy, I LOVE HER, SHE IS NOW MY BIAS. (see above, re flimsy reasons for choosing biases)

12) cockily charismatic on-stage/endearingly sheepish off-stage + cats is pretty much the key to the kang daniel thing. 13) I’m really glad MX put on such a good show! I’d love to see them sometime, they seem like they have incredible energy on stage.

...does Daehwi like cats tho? This is important. Bc Daniel has gained so many bonus points already from that.

MX FOREVER.
