Concert prices are criminal

I got an ad on Insta that a band from my childhood was going on tour and they would be playing my favorite album in its entirety. Sweet. I’m going.

Check the date at the closest not sold out venue, it’s a weekday but whatever. I’ll make it work. Tickets aren’t too crazy, and since I’ll be staying with a friend, I figure I’ll get them one too. Just in case they want to tag along. Put two GA tickets in my cart, go to check out…

The fees tacked on are more expensive than a single ticket!

Thats insanity. How is this legal? I remember being able to go to a concert for $20. That’s it. Buy it at the venue, no fees, great time. Now it doesn’t matter who it is, a single ticket all in is over $60, and that’s on a good day. I hate what the world is now.

Edit: To clarify, the thing that is infuriating is the service fees costing as much as, if not more, than the price of the ticket. I have no problem paying more to the artist and even the venue to help support them. I do have a problem with the multiple fees tacked by the middle man.

My takes from the Min Heejin Press Conference

My takes from the Min Heejin Press Conference

I've watched the whole presscon live. Here are my takeaways:

1. SELF-CREDIT

MHJ comes off as obssesed with getting ALL the credit for New Jeans' success. She has held resentment for HYBE all this time and doesn't want them to have credit. This doesn't make sense because it was HYBE who created Phoning, connected them to Lolla, Billboard, fashion deals, gave them 16B won to debut, and even organized their fanmeets. She easily used HYBE's resources but hates acknowledging them at the same time. HYBE didn't even care and let her pop off in interviews that all the credit should go to her.

It also bothered her that a HYBE gg would be known as a "HYBE girl group" and not a "Min Heejin girl group". Is this really important? Because at the end of the day, HYBE does own 80%. They gave MHJ power and freedom but it seems she hated it wasn't complete control.

2. BANG PD

MHJ has shared that she's been in conflict in terms of creative direction with Bang PD. Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a big deal? It's normal to butt heads with your bosses and coworkers. It's also normal for a boss to add some pressure for their employees to do well.

Bang PD said he wasn't a fan of Ditto and Hybe Boy at first and MHJ was correct in pushing for it. Bang PD wasn't also a fan of Jimin but was convinced otherwise to let him debut in BTS. In both instances, didn't Bang PD ultimately choose to listen to others' opinion? He admits he gets it wrong sometimes. I don't think it's a grave sin he didn't support Ditto and Hybe Boy. He was obviously wrong but he was entitled to share his opinions too. It comes across that MHJ hated sharing power in any capacity at all.

I also admit maybe Bang PD could've worded "step on Aespa" better but he just meant he wanted to compete with Aespa and surpass them. He wasn't insulting Aespa but just wanted to beat them in a competitive industry.

I don't think Bang PD is innocent and unproblematic but at least he seems to treat his artists with respect. He doesn't seem to mind the way his artists make fun of him because BTS, Seventeen, & TXT all make fun of his voice/appearance.

3. GRANDIOSE STATEMENTS

She called being unable sell 5% of her shares "slavery" 💀 when she was still free to sell the rest. She can just quit HYBE, return the 5% shares and be free. No one is enslaving her lol. She also earns millions of DOLLARS and has the title of CEO. If this is slavery, sign me up.

There's also the several statements that there is no artist as sincere as her in this industry and that she's done something for kpop that no one has done in 30 years 💀

4. HYBE'S CLAIMS

Laslty, All (or most) claims HYBE released to the press has been confirmed as true by MHJ herself although she minimized them as as a joke or not that serious.

Plans to talk to external investors? Check. Planning for ADOR to be independent? Check. Project 1945? Check. Talking to a Shaman about BTS? Check.

We'll just have to wait what else HYBE confirms.

Edit: If MHJ wanted complete control, she should've just started her own company. Instead, she joined a subsidiary then complained it wasn't 100% hers to control.
