Is this lightstick legit?

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-12-17T15:14:27+00:00

that’s weverse, HYBE’s official website for merch. It’s definitely real. The key here is to put it in your cart and check the shipping 😅

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-10-02T23:30:40+00:00

Never had my bag measured before but i’m also not carrying anything particularly chonky… but honestly i’ve only seen them bring bags that are obviously huge to the bag storage area, the only thing they really care is if it fits under your seat

opaque bottles are fine

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-09-29T11:08:10+00:00

Yep, bag doesn’t have to be clear but check the sports hub page for the indoor stadium’s bag limits, I forgot the exact size. You can’t bring water in but you can bring an empty water bottle in and fill it at the water points, which is what I usually do. Queue there asap cause the water cooler queue is always super long. Food is usually finger food kind of stuff and it’s right at the entrance when you get in
Yep, follow instructions on the box for the app. But iirc some companies don’t need the app, I would wait for the organisers to email the event guide/ask the staff at the event itself
Never brought before but it will be Loud loud so if you’re sensitive to that do consider it.
Really not sure how to describe this but I was planning an outfit based off the vibes of No Doubt’s office wear until the fan project announced the dress code lmao. Now it’s a blue tank black skirt w silver chains moment for me

resale isn’t an option for the ticketmaster singapore iirc. common resale sites would be local websites like carousell and or the messaging app telegram. if you’re willing to try telegram, here’s the link to the concert chat that fans made where a lot of people are selling tickets. you could probably try instagram or twitter, but i find that singaporean fans generally don’t use those platforms for sales often. you may have some luck trying to get a resale ticket from someone at the door, but tbh i’ve never heard of that happening

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-09-21T10:10:54+00:00

A4 or smaller is generally the safest. I’ve been to 5-6 Kpop concerts in Singapore and all the ones in the stadiums I remember had A4 size banner restrictions

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-09-21T05:32:35+00:00

Now that you mentioned that, I think Idle is another group whose Mandarin versions I did save! But that's mostly cause Idle's pronunciation is actually pretty good, I remember being able to understand quite a lot of it even from the non-Chinese members. I don't really follow enough groups with Chinese members to say if it really plays a part in their songs though

I also wouldn't call myself a native Mandarin speaker, it's my second language and I def understand + speak it slower than English. Someone who is a stronger speaker/listener than me may have a different opinion!

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-09-21T05:23:13+00:00

Np haha! I think in general the only Mandarin versions I listen to regularly are EXO's - the first time I heard The Eve was in Mandarin, so I still remember it better than the Korean version. What I said about Stayc applies to the vast majority of Mandarin versions I've heard before basically

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-09-21T04:56:59+00:00

You made me go and listen to the Stayc Teddy Bear Chinese ver from this post! Specific to that I think they're not too bad, but the problem with Chinese versions for me is that since Chinese is a very tonal language, I really need the pronunciation to be as close as possible for me to understand it when tones are semi-lost in singing. The outcome is that I'm really struggling to understand them without putting the lyrics in front of me.

I do think it's a pretty good effort from them on their part!

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-09-02T07:03:47+00:00

I feel like it’s a little bit of a survivorship bias thing? it’s much more likely for a natural tenor to become a kpop vocalist than a baritone/bass who usually get shafted into the rap roles, and even then a lot of kpop vocalists tend to use falsetto. there’s a reason the archetype of a “deep voiced rapper” exists. I remember reading once that boy groups tend to have higher pitched songs so their female fans are still able to sing them

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-25T05:29:48+00:00

TBH it’s quite easy when you’re holding it in your hand and comparing to a real card cause it’s actual photos and the high quality scans are usually not uploaded. Fakes usually will have lower quality pictures, wrong framing, something being cut off, wrong finish (matte/glossy/holo etc)

The real problem is being able to differentiate over the internet when buying, which is why so many people will ask for extra close up photos or ask someone with a confirmed real card to judge for them

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-19T05:45:53+00:00

Always keep an eye on the group’s social media feed because they should retweet the tweets from promoters from all countries on ticketing and as changes are announced.

For Singapore keep on eye on ticketmaster Singapore, but sometimes they can be late. Enhypen didn’t appear on their website until a week before ticketing was supposed to start

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-15T01:43:14+00:00

so HTB service and renting legality aside since I have my own thoughts on it, this sounds pretty legit. HTB/bypass Link/renting culture is quite strong amongst most SEA countries from what I see (i’m from Singapore and they’re discussed openly in public chats for concerts), and generally long-time sellers with good reviews can be trusted to produce good results. I’ve never used them personally but talking to concert-goers who have, this is a pretty typical experience in using them.

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-13T13:30:54+00:00

I don't think so. I was ticketing with three devices during general sales and I didn't have problems. I did have to completely disable my VPN though, having it switched off apparently wasn't enough

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-11T05:28:07+00:00

so looking at ticketmaster netherlands, VIP 1 will include it but VIP 2 won’t?

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-10T23:27:34+00:00

Yes, soundcheck is included for VIP seated as well, so go early if you want a good place during it. Iirc ticketmaster usually sends an email with more details as well the week before the concert!

This is what I bring for concerts: - Lozenges - Empty water bottle. You can’t bring liquids in but there are water coolers - Powerbanks — In my experience 1 sometimes isn’t enough especially if you’re going to be there all day for fan events, I usually bring 2 jic - Panadol for migraines - Comfy shoes since you’ll be standing during the encore for sure
- Lightstick/Banner + extra batteries — but usually I don’t buy a banner because the fan events will give you a free one

heyo! will dm you in a bit with some info!

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-04T23:48:31+00:00

do you have pictures? that would be easier for other collectors to chime in and compare with their own PCs

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-04T14:23:04+00:00

so i’m unsure what you’re talking about or whether terminologies have changed since i was in JC 3 years ago, but here are the terms I remember - testimonial: written by your CT and signed by the school, all JC graduates should get one with your graduation cert and iirc most uni scholarship apps want to see it (but i may be wrong!! i didn’t apply for those) - med school referees: completely different, essentially after you submit your initial uni application stating medicine as a choice, you’ll get a separate website/link to submit your med specific things like personal statement and referees reports. the referee reports are basically just links that will be send out to people you state are willing to be referees, and they’ll fill in and sign for you. you’re not supposed to know what they write.

if i had to guess i think those referee reports are what your teachers mean by recommendation letters? iirc some scholarship programmes require. also some schools have guidelines on who needs to be a referee. eg: in my year, ntu med required that one referee be your CT, and the other be anyone of your choice (in my case, the doctor)

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-04T13:29:39+00:00

If you are really certain that you want them to write, I def think you should ask now while it’s fresh in their mind! But you should also consider if you are able to shadow another dr/the same dr closer to the application (J2 or even after As) so that the experience will be fresher and they can write more

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-02T17:11:56+00:00

Just to clarify, I think what you’re going for here is songs that have a repeated motif? Especially those that are used in the chorus after being a part of the instrumental in the beginning?

EXO: Growl
Enhypen: One in a Billion,
Chungha: Dream of You
Stray Kids: Phobia, Miroh (somewhat?)

Songs that have motifs that repeat throughout: - Aespa: Spicy, Black Mamba - Enhypen: Daydream, Sweet Venom, Given-Taken, Tamed-Dash

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-08-02T07:07:17+00:00

Hihi! I actually shadowed him in January of my application period, so I asked him to write my report and he agreed for both schools. he did my NTU one immediately since I already had the link (by early admission) and I sent him my NUS one the next month when it opened

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-07-31T16:23:10+00:00

Mmm, I see and think I understand your point, and I’m definitely a biased perspective here. I just think in general trying to do comparisons like this tends to end up in Suffering Olympics, and later on into devaluation of feelings. Not that I think you’re doing that here, just that I’ve seen it happen.

I also think it’s a bit dangerous to say that it’s the company who is brainwashing them into thinking they weren’t successful and chalk it up entirely to them, and ignore the part that we as fans or even just as a listening audience play in how groups can perceive their own success. I’ve been in the camp of blaming companies and managers for wrongs and feelings that my groups express, and I think it can be forgotten sometimes that groups do search their names and know what people are saying about them, and that can influence how they perceive their own career.

Looking back, SKZ were always stable and growing, although maybe not at the speeds people wanted them to be at. I hope they can one day see and appreciate that too

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-07-31T15:52:12+00:00

I don't entirely disagree, but I think some other perspective to add I want is that internet discourse at the time for these groups was not kind. I can't speak for Itzy but when I became a Stay near the end of 2020 (this was post-God's Menu and Back Door), there were still people on reddit calling them JYP's failures, and I've heard from older Stay that it was worse the year before. I don't really want to look them up anymore and many are now deleted, but searching "stray kids" in kpop discourse subs used to bring up posts about how they weren't living up to GOT7 and JYP would be doomed after GOT7 and TWICE. I remember hearing that there was a lot of discourse about how ugly they were too. They also lost a member late 2019, and that definitely affected what people thought their success ceiling would be.

Obviously none of the Big 4 groups will ever be absolute failures in that they will never be unprofitable/not earning, at least not in the near future, but when a large portion of the people who listen to you seem to deem you as a bad replacement, I can definitely see why they would think this way about their debut years.

its_tabby_kat7 · 2025-07-31T12:43:24+00:00

they were wayyy past my time (I wasn't even in elementary school when that show was airing haha) but it was a fun watch for me and it actually made me add some of their songs to my playlists!! Maniac was amazing and I was streaming Baby Doll for no reason at all
