DREAMCATCHER KPOP.FLEX FESTIVAL FRANKFURT 15/05/22 FULL PERFORMANCE  

Sorry to hear about the event organizing. How badly did the organizer mess it up this time? If you don't mind sharing.

Oh no problem. So the major problem was miscommunication or just very late communication (I think there was a lot of shifting of the schedule bts that's the only way I can explain it). It started when they announced Monsta X and Gidle on Saturday and tickets were sold out fast. They added new acts, no problem bc festivals often announce their lineups like that. But it was not ideal. Then bc of popular demand they just added a second day? (See what I mean, they made this appear very spontaneously but you can't just add a second day like that so it must've been planned long before.) Problem now, some acts couldn't come on Sunday or for example Dreamcatcher was added very very late and only for Sunday. So people that had tickets for Saturday already were pissed. They had a schedule on their website for when the concert should start and emailed this exact one out a few days before. Then on the actual day, they suddenly posted a completely different one on Instagram like an hour before the concert started. Two things changed, the starting time and also it was a detailed one for when each artist should perform. That was the first time everyone saw that every artist only got 15-20 minutes and also that the 5 hours of concert promised actually consisted of a 2 hour 'pre-show' (hanbok fashion show, dance crew and ads for Korea, on Sunday it was only a dance crew) and just 2 1/2 hours of concert. So people felt very scammed. You have to keep in mind, there were a lot of German fans but also a lot of people who traveled from other countries and paid like 300€ or more for traveling, the tickets and hotel. I gladly got a ticket for 60€ but had to pay a lot more for the train and traveled 7 hours. Also there were other issues and the festival outside of the stadium was just boring, a small stage, a lot of booths for Korean tourism, and the only merch available was from Kpop Flex themselves. Lines were long, drinks were incredibly expensive, at the first day there was no water for the first day and a lot of people fainted (most people were young women who didn't drink and eat enough and all of that at about 28°C). Security was rude and not helpful, and all of these issues were known by kflex through their Insta but not addressed at all (they only responded to the very little nice comments and reacted to the urgent things like water missing but that's it). Sorry that was a lot but these were the main issues.

Okay okay I hear u 🤣🤣

@@moongirl8807 You've covered everything pretty much. The performers were wonderful but the organisation was crap. I flew all the way from London, for me the promoters over promised and underdelivered.

@@JustJudy869 true. That's sad to hear, on another note though I love London, probably I should visit it again sometime😂

Nope every group had only 15 - 20 minutes don't worry😳we also have to keep their schedule in mind, the event planners added them due to popular demand and I bet they would've given them a space on Saturday too to make even more money out of the visitors and sell more tickets. But maybe DC wasn't available. The organization was so bad the performances were the only good thing about this mess. Also it might be the same with Primavera since there are even more and more famous / known artists there.

@@moongirl8807 well at least Dreamcatcher will get a whole 1 hour to perform in Primavera instead of 15 - 20 minutes

@@starrystarrynight99 oh really? Well that's good. Apparently at least one festival is capable of communicating their performance times

@@starrystarrynight99 no worry girl Primavera give our girls 1 freaking hour🤟

Yeah it was sad bc for most of the time, when they actually showed the idols it looked really good. I couldn't get over how hot DC looked. But the problem was that when no one was singing, i.e. short transitions or everyone was singing, they showed the crowd. Normally that's unnecessary but fine, the problem is just that you often have a dance break in kpop and when I was there a lot of people complained bc there was an iconic part and they just zoomed out. We were very far away from the stage and kinda relied on the screen.

Me too....아쉽네요

Same😩

They chose 3 main Title Tracks from the different eras. It also showcase their diversity more. So I understand their choice

Everyone does😭

They only had 15 - 20 minutes thank Kpop Flex for that. Every group had that and besides IVE who literally only have 4 songs I believe that all fans wished for more songs from their favorite groups. But yeah Boca would've been a great choice due to it's popularity. But don't worry the whole stadium was still on fire
