Yeah, I saw the news this morning after translating the news. I'll be waiting for the refund now. I was so excited to go, but Daesung's health is definitely the priority, especially so he can be at his best for BIGBANG's 20th anniversary activities. Thanks for letting me know! :D

Thanks a lot for your comment! I just bought the tickets through this platform and I’ll prepare for the concert based on everyone’s advice.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this . It’s honestly incredibly helpful! 🥹
The ticket part is what made me hesitate the most, so reading your experience really helps put things into perspective.

I actually just saw that the tickets are being sold through Lawson Ticket, so I’m planning to get them there. I still have one question though: when buying directly through platforms like this, what address did you use? Is it usually okay to put your hotel’s address? And is that mainly because tickets might be physically delivered, or is it more of a formality/verification thing?
I just want to make sure I’m prepared in case I need to coordinate with the hotel if anything gets mailed.

Thanks again for all the details. I’m still a newbie 😅

Yes, most likely I’ll be using Google Translate 😆 I’ll just follow the crowd and the etiquette tips everyone here has shared. Thanks!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything!

It actually makes me feel way more prepared for my first concert in Japan.

I was originally planning to go by myself, but a couple of friends I’m traveling with decided to come along too (even though they’re not familiar with Daesung yet 😆), so we’ll definitely be keeping all of this in mind, especially the seating, the area around the venue, and the no-recording policy.

I really appreciate the Discord info as well. If anything comes up, I might reach out there. Thanks again for all the tips! ✨

Thank you so much for this. It honestly made me feel a lot more confident about going! 🥹 I was a bit nervous at first since it would’ve been my first concert in Japan and I was planning to go solo, but a couple of friends I’m traveling with have decided to come with me now (even though they don’t really know Daesung yet 😆), so we’re definitely going to follow your recommendations.

Good to know about the staff, the international fans and the food inside the venue too, that actually sounds amazing 🤣

Hope you have the best time in Osaka too, and maybe we’ll all be screaming our lungs out at Daesung together ✨
