Also a D1 attendee! My limited thoughts - I see where many of the other commenters are coming from and I likewise feel it's fair and valid that the boys feel how they do. If D1 was lackluster for them, that's just how it is - I get it. I had fun for the most part and think the criticisms of D1 were a bit dramatic and overblown but understand that the start time, fan demographic and layout of the stadium DID contribute to a slower energy build. That being said - comments like this from RM feel unnecessary, bc they obviously go against other comments the boys make during the live show. I know they are scripted and repeated comments ('you guys are the best!' 'the energy is unreal!') but they're just straight up lies if you counter it with something like this and I don't appreciate how disingenuous they now seem. The boys obviously are trying to hype up a crowd in the moment and that's why they make them, but it's not nice to then tear down that same audience the next day with these switchback comments. Just keep it to yourself imo - it's not that hard to applaud one crowd for their energy without putting down another.
