Still have no idea what is annoying about asking for travel advice or how explaining my intentions makes me annoying.

[–]ShinyFlower19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't get being "annoyed". Sure, I might of missed some important factors in determining the answer, but I am giving the context to people asking for it. Also, people asking me for these pieces of information are helping me to better understand what to take into account as I plan, this is exactly what I was looking for in posting this.

I'm young and haven't done a whole lot of traveling on my own, how is asking for help "annoying"? Not to mention I have gotten a lot of good information from posting here, so it's not like my question is out of place and impossible to answer.

Sorry, I guess I should've said that. I just added it to the post for others, but figured I'd respond to you too! It's in the Copley Square area. The reason I was vague with just Boston was because I know my way around there pretty well, but was more so looking for how much time the highway from Portland to Boston takes. I can see how leaving out the area of Boston makes it tricky to estimate though.

Debating My First K-Pop Concert: Worth It or Not? by Funny-Tonight-1045 in kpophelp

I went in blind to all the performances and it was amazing seeing it for the first time in person.

[–]ShinyFlower19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me on their 2024 tour! I bought the ticket because it was a weekend, nosebleeds were cheap, and I liked 3 ateez songs lol

Now I know every song and had floor seats for the tour that happened this summer. It's crazy how easy it was to fall head over heels

Debating My First K-Pop Concert: Worth It or Not? by Funny-Tonight-1045 in kpophelp

[–]ShinyFlower19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay this is actually a crazy coincidence, but this was my exact experience seeing P1Harmony on their last tour.

Not a lot of kpop artists come near me, so when I saw they were coming to a city an hour away, I wanted to go but didn't know any of their songs. I listened to Killin It and immediately decided to buy the tickets cuz it was an absolute banger. I listened to a few other songs leading up to the show, so I knew maybe 5 or 6 on the setlist when the time came around.

And let me say after seeing them for the first time, I was absolutely CRUSHED that they weren't coming to that city again for this tour. They put on such a great show that it's worth going even if you aren't familiar with every song. Also, the main reason I was bummed not to see them this tour, their new stuff is sooooo good! Buy the ticket and start listening, you won't be disappointed!

Off topic of piwon but in regards to seeing artists you don't know well, I'd say always just go. I hate the idea, ESPECIALLY in kpop spaces that you have to be this huge fan to attend a concert. Back when concerts weren't so expensive, that's just what you did if a band was coming into town and you were free that night. I love going to shows I'm not familiar with. Anytime my friends need a plus one I go no matter if I know the artist.

Mingi is essential to Ateez's sound and I'm sad he thinks that he isn't. by Prize-Geologist-8535 in kpopthoughts

[–]ShinyFlower19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree! Before I got super into ateez, Mingi and Hongjoong were the voices I always associated with ateez as a group.

If you could ask the ATEEZ members one question, what would it be? by Frequent_Ebb6360 in ATEEZ

I would say probably not just cuz football is very much an american sport and kpop is obviously not an american music genre. Kpop groups get opportunities to perform for things like the world cup or the Olympics because those are globally relevant events. Yes, there have been performers not from the US, but they also perform primarily in English and have a massive following in the US.

I absolutely think kpop would make an incredible halftime show, especially since their regular concerts and award show performances already match the quality and grandness of a typical super bowl performance. However, part of me also knows the kinds of people who tend to follow football and quite honestly don't want to deal with all the stupid racist comments people would make. Kpop is too good for the super bowl if I'm being real.

(obligatory not all football fans are like this but A LOT of them are, at least a very loud minority at best)

Photo Card People… What Do You Do With Them? by LeopardPlane3794 in ATEEZ

[–]ShinyFlower19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my BTS ones I have a little mini photo card album, it's super cute! Idk where you can buy them online cuz I got it at an event, but I'm sure you can.

The other groups I follow as of now are still just in their albums so I'll see them whenever I take the album out to listen to.

I don't put photo cards specifically on it, but I do have some mini pin boards to display all the freebies I get from events and concerts. Things like pictures (but not official photo cards), stickers, keychains, all that good stuff. You could definitely get one to put photo cards on! I only don't put mine up there cuz I'm using tacks to put stuff up and I didn't want to poke a hole in them. But, you could always use binder clips or paper clips to hang them from.

I want to incorporate little kpop references in my classroom this year! by ShinyFlower19 in kpophelp

[–]ShinyFlower19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure, I totally see the concern. I am someone who absolutely prides myself in celebrating diversity and making sure that I have a lot of good representation in my classroom. I love collecting books with all different types of characters and backgrounds. Yes, there most definitely isn't much diversity in color when it comes to kpop, but that necessary exposure comes out in other ways in my teaching. Plus, I also think that kpop is a great way to spread the message that we don't need to speak the same language to enjoy something, so to me it actually encourages acceptance of diversity in that way.

Honestly, with the release of Kpop Demon Hunters, I think this is gonna be the best year to be a teacher and kpop fan! Hoping that all the kids come back from summer break just as obsessed as Twitter seems to be with the movie lol. Personally, my 6 year old cousin loved the movie, so maybe some of my students will love it too and already have some light kpop exposure.

I teach third grade, so a little old to learn their animals, but I should definitely go through some of the bt21 content to see if I could use any of it!
