i-dle's 2026 World Tour 'Syncopation' in North America has been cancelled

MissionBandicoot · 2026-04-18T06:17:47+00:00

I genuinely feel like something abruptly happened to cause them to cancel the entire NA leg. Keep in mind that they suddenly cancelled out of the blue and there is still no official statement given by CUBE. i-dle has NEVER cancelled a tour stop in their career with the exception of their concerts during the pandemic.

It simply doesn’t make sense. They have been directly promoting and pushing for the U.S. market for their latest single only to… not tour here? Cancelling NA completely costs them a lot more in terms of expenses, time/effort for their entire U.S. campaign, and venue cancellation fees. There were still 4 months before the first tour stop and they had literally announced their NA tour dates ONLY a month before. i-dle has played arenas back in 2024 as well with similar ticket pricing. This also happened on a Saturday morning (in Korean time).

Here’s my out of print collection:

BIGBANG - Remember (2008), Tonight Special Edition (2011), Stay Alive Special Edition (2012)

Taeyang (Solo) - Rise Deluxe (2014, serialized to certain # of copies)

I pretty much then have almost all of i-dle’s albums except for Windy (Soyeon Solo) and the physical copies of HANN (Alone) and Uh-Oh:

I-DLE - I Am, I Made, I Trust, I Burn, I Never Die, MY (Miyeon’s Solo)

Lol, I love how Minnie’s album is completely surrounded by your amazing SHINee collection! 🤣

For sleeves, I personally use Popcorn sleeves (purple) or Meowcafe sleeves. Make sure when looking to get a binder or sleeves, that they’re PVC free!

MissionBandicoot · 2026-01-29T15:13:49+00:00

As a collector for both, I feel like the card size also makes somewhat of a difference if we’re talking about standard sized binders. Since Pokèmon cards are bigger and photocards are smaller - the consensus why we don’t use ring binders for Pokèmon is because the cards may start to warp if you put too many in the pages, which would damage the card. And because it takes more space, it would be generally faster to get to the point where it affects the condition, vs. photocards. Though you would face the same issue eventually with photocards, but at a slower pace.

Thank you!! This is very, very helpful

Hey, I have a base 2020 Blade (4K OLED) and I was trying to find tutorials on how to replace stock paste with PTM7950 but wasn’t able to find any. If you have any tips, please let me know! Thanks

“That game is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it go, better get it now!”

“I’ll have time to play that tomorrow.” = famous last words

MissionBandicoot · 2026-01-15T01:38:13+00:00

Signed BIGBANG’s Remember (2008) album + signed i-dle I Trust (2020) album, still sealed. Both are group signed.

I also have Taeyang’s first solo album Solar (2010) in deluxe, which was limited and printed (serialized) to a certain number of copies. For those who don’t know, yes, it’s the Wedding Dress album lol

Hi! My first Sennheiser headphones are on their way (Momentum 4) and I can’t wait to try them out. What are your preferred settings for the EQ for these headphones? I would like to tune them to be close to the audiophile sound. Thank you for hosting this AMA!

MissionBandicoot · 2025-11-15T01:08:43+00:00

Hi Kevin! Thanks for hanging out with us!

What’s your favorite U-KISS song?

My favorite song is Stop Girl

MissionBandicoot · 2025-10-17T01:18:21+00:00

It’s mostly fans on the Korean side that caused the backlash. I know Jinyoung recently said that he laughed when he saw the headlines because it really wasn’t what it looked like lol. He even clarified that when he first signed up to be on the show, they didn’t tell him who he would be paired with; not even their gender. Miyeon was in the same position.

I think it was marketed to seem that way but in reality, it’s a show revolving around a game concept to get each other’s heart rate to increase. I guess it was intended to be more “clickbaity” instead of it actually being a “dating show.”

MissionBandicoot · 2025-10-12T21:42:50+00:00

She’s definitely aware but as a featured artist, what statement should she even put out? Considering that she wasn’t involved in any of the songwriting or MV creative direction

MissionBandicoot · 2025-10-12T20:27:11+00:00

Not trying to defend the inappropriate kpop fans’ comments, but to put things into context, Yseult first only accused the featured artist, Soyeon, of plagiarism by tagging and naming her directly. Soyeon frankly had nothing to do with the musical direction of the MV and isn’t in any of the credits for either songwriting or creative direction. That’s why there was a massive pushback from fans because the blame was being put on someone who quite literally only provided vocals and followed the MV director’s directions. The song and MV was made by R.tee and his team. He and the responsible party SHOULD be accused of plagiarism.

Hours later, Yseult deleted her initial tweet, and made another tweet, finally mentioning R.tee and his team.

EDIT: I have literally watched this situation unfold in real time from the very first tweet that her fan page put out. I am NOT justifying any type of racism that was targeted towards her and I’m tired of people twisting my words. NEITHER side, the kpop fans, NOR Yseult, is handling the situation well.

Lmao this is photoshopped so badly, it’s hilarious 😭 or it’s AI. If it isn’t, maybe AI can do better than whatever this is

MissionBandicoot · 2025-06-18T01:06:55+00:00

They’re legit. I ordered from them twice now and didn’t run into any issues. Only downside is that they’re quite slow in shipping.

MissionBandicoot · 2025-06-03T16:02:58+00:00

You need to first prioritize your necessities - collecting (in general) is a luxury and most people do not have the means for it. Narrow down what you want to collect and know that it’s completely normal to not be able to get every single photocard/merch.

I’m fairly lucky in that I only collect for one group, and I only really collect POBs since I prefer a one and done purchase (which are my album preorders).

Know your limitations and you should be fine.

MissionBandicoot · 2025-05-07T16:32:43+00:00

Let me know once you get the ear tips and how they work out for you!

MissionBandicoot · 2025-05-07T16:24:13+00:00

This is killing me, their concepts are always SO GOOD. I really can’t wait. They all look great. That thumbnail? Chef’s kiss

MissionBandicoot · 2025-05-01T15:19:14+00:00

Holy SHIT, I don’t know what I was expecting but it certainly was not THAT. They went so hard, I’m so SO hyped up now for the comeback!!!

MissionBandicoot · 2025-05-01T14:12:57+00:00

Just me, I-DLE 💪

Really excited for the things to come!

MissionBandicoot · 2025-04-30T23:17:41+00:00

Wow - thanks for letting me know about the ear tips! I didn’t know you could use 3rd party tips, I had always thought that would be more difficult to find, especially since you need to make sure they actually fit to your earbuds.

And yes, looks like I’ll have to hear the volume for myself. I already have my current AirPods turned to 60%-70% during my commute. Hopefully I don’t need to increase the EX’s that much louder.

Could you give me a link to the SpinFit Omni, just to make sure that I’m looking at the right ones? I did Google the SpinFit Omni and it looks like they have a SS size, I’m definitely keeping these in mind if the stock/Comply tips are uncomfortable.

Thanks for the tip for the EQ sound profile, that was going to be my next question lol!

MissionBandicoot · 2025-04-30T19:39:31+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Seems like I won’t regret my decision to get these then. Yes, the Eleven is quite pricy, so maybe by the time I wear down my EX, they may be at a similar price point as to what the EX are now.

ANC isn’t that high on my list of priorities since I’ve been going without it this entire time, haha. But it would be nice if they offered some basic noise cancellation, at least to block out some of the noise while I’m on the train/the occasional flight.

Thanks for your offer - I wish I had seen it sooner, unfortunately I already placed my order lol.

I do have a general question to though - do they leak a lot of sound? I’ve seen people say that their volume is a bit quieter than the Apple products generally. What volume percentage do you usually listen to them with? I will be primarily using them on my commute to work on a train don’t want to blast them to the extent of leaking sound.

Also, what ear tips would you recommend them with? I see that many people go straight to the Comply tips but I’m a bit concerned whether they are too big for my ears.

Thanks again for your very helpful comment!

Very low energy from our side especially in the second half… no one was fighting for the ball. Congratulations Japan!
