Attend a K pop concert in Korea

“Soon enough, the lights were going down and an epic intro played before all 5 members of TXT appeared before me. And what more is there to say? For 3 hours, I got to see amazing performances with intricate stage designs. Idols I had only seen on screen for years were dancing to my favorite songs right before my eyes. Even if I couldn’t understand the entirety of each speech between songs, I still gathered the main message: a thanks to their fans for allowing this to be a reality.”

“I arrived at 3:30 and immediately headed for the identity verification line. And let me tell you, this line was the longest line I’ve been in since the quarantine line when I first arrived in Korea. By the time I reached the back, I had walked maybe half a mile. Although it was quite lengthy, it still only took about 25 minutes to get through. When I got to the front, I had to show my ARC (or a passport if you don’t have an Alien Registration Card) and my Fanclub card on the WeVerse app.”

“TXT’s concert was truly amazing. The performance, production, the sense of unity with the fans, the members’ talk and expressions…everything left a lasting impression on me. Seeing them in person was so much more captivating than any video or photo, and I was moved to tears by the passion and feelings that came through their singing and dancing. The entire venue was enveloped in TXT’s unique world, and it felt like a dream.”
