[theqoo] ILLIT’S INSPA CONCERT SEATING SITUATION

Looks like the demand forecast was off the mark…

1. If even the floor section has that much space left over, it probably would have been better to move the show to a venue within Seoul, even if it meant downsizing the capacity

2. This is the proof that all idols are fighting over the same fandom pie right now

3. Aside from ‘Magnetic blowing up, they haven’t had another mainstream hit since, and it looks like they failed to build a solid core fanbase

4. This would’ve been ridiculed everywhere in Shorts if this had been any other idols ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This company just got exposed being the ones who creates all the negative virality against other idols

5. Are the tickets too expensive or did they just fail at forecasting the demand?

6. Even in Japan and China, it feels like the reaction came just because the kids are cute and Magnetic was a fun challenge; there is absolutely no core following with ILLIT. In fact, LE SSERAFIM has a bigger cult following 

7. I agree that they aren’t really a “performance-oriented” group… Groups like aespa or IVE seem like they’d be exciting to see in concert, but ILLIT’s songs are really more for casual listening

8. HYBE is running a deficit anyway, so let’s just hand out complimentary tickets. The losses are so huge that it won’t even make a noticeable difference

9. People need to be fools at this point to believe any “results” coming out from HYBE 

10. It’s my first time seeing such an empty floor area

11. What’s up with that empty floor…? It’s like they booked the total wrong venue.. 

12. Looks like their gangster fandom on Twitter going after every group turned out to be just a handful of people

13. So they basically have no fandom 

14. I thought this group was popular because of Wonhee, but I guess it was all just viral marketing

15. We’re gonna see lots of discounts
