After watching from the sidelines, I can honestly say that it's gotten so messy between Moomoos and RBW. I've been a fan of Mamamoo since late 2020 and I've seen tons of drama.
But the current world tour drama takes the cake. It's honestly a mess the way this tour is being managed.
RBW posted a statement earlier today saying a change of the Hong Kong concert is not possible which means Moonbyul won't be able to perform live at the Golden Disk Awards. This is a huge fuck up because the Golden Disk Awards is like The Grammys of KPop, there's just some awards shows you don't miss.
In RBW's statement they went on & on about how tours are planned 6 months to a year in advance and how there's so many people involved...lol yes...this is to be expected for a world tour. What is your point exactly?!
No seriously, if the tour was planned so far in advance why didn't you leave the date of January 7th open?! Whenever you're planning always triple check your calendar to make sure you haven't double booked.
Another question, if the tour is fully planned then why haven't any dates outside of Asia been announced?!
All this piece meal, date by date crap is nonsense. When you're planning and promoting a WORLD TOUR, you do just that, post every city along with the date, time and location on your tour poster. You don't post it one by one, lol. It's causing frustration not hype.
People need time to plan and budget to attend a concert. So the sooner an announcement is made, the better. Plus after 9 years this is a ridiculously shitty way to break the international market especially the US, Europe and Latin America.
Not announcing dates in 3 of the most important and wealthy regions of the world is so outrageous. You want Mamamoo to be international? Well, then they gotta perform outside of Asia dear. No seriously, Asia is a beautiful continent and Moomoos everywhere deserve to see Mamamoo.
But international fans in the US, Europe, Latin America and Africa are continuously ignored. It seems the agency loves it when we buy albums and merch but doesn't actually cater to us.
So anyway to wrap this up, I'm pretty irritated. I feel bad for Chinese fans (and other Moomoos) who were planning to see Mamamoo in Hong Kong cause it's like do you go and support Mamamoo or boycott because of the double booking?! I also feel angry for US, European, Latin American and African Moomoos who remain in limbo about whether or not Mamamoo is even coming to our region.
It's just a mess. If you read this post, share your thoughts as a comment!
첫댓글 you are 100% right! the girls deserve better!
Yes thanks moomoo! They really do, they are the Queens of Kpop!
very good post, i am absolutely of the same opinion
Thanks moomoo! I'm glad you agree
it also annoys me that we are able to join the official fanclub, but the benefits are really only in Korea. For example, they didn't do a fanclub pre-sale for the Taiwan concert and most moo moos couldn't get tickets! They went into the pockets of ticket scalpers. I feel so bad for moos there 😭
Yes I totally get that moomoo. We really don't get any benefits besides the kit and fancafe access and I still haven't even been leveled up to 5th moomoo. Oh no that's awful for Taiwanese fans! It's the same here in US, the reseller thing is a huge problem 🥹😭
