[+1,179, -4] The concerts are too expensive for us Koreans to go, too...
[+411, -17] The foreign singers who come to Korea to perform are even more expensive than them
[+310, -9] If it's too expensive, don't go. They'll adjust prices accordingly.
[+116, -12] With BTS, I heard that they have to transport all of their concert equipment on planes, which probably drives up expenses... I doubt it's much different for Black Pink.
[+60, -8] If they keep raising prices, people are eventually going to stop going
[+21, -0] These concerts are not a charity. If it's too expensive, you have a choice to not go. Just watch it at home on YouTube, it's not like you're going to fall ill if you don't go. These concerts are too expensive for Koreans too.
[+14, -0] The prices do seem a bit too expensive for Thailand
[+14, -2] The expenses can't be helped if K-Pop concerts want to keep up the quality of these shows. I watched a YouTube video by someone who works in the industry and they explained that they can cut costs by hiring local engineers but they won't produce the same K-Pop vibe that concertgoers are looking for so they're forced to fly out Korean engineers for all these concerts, which makes things expensive.. and it's just a cost they have to eat.
[+12, -0] These concerts are really expensive for us as it is so I can't imagine for countries like Thailand
[+17, -6] Don't go if you're poor~ I'm poor too so I don't go either~
[+7, -2] Stage team + directing team + sound team + marketing team + security team + artist's pay... plus the added cost of flying everyone out on international business. I can see why these concerts get so expensive. K-Pop is a business, after all.. not a charity ㅎㅎ
[+4, -1] I can see the tickets being too expensive by Thai standards but you can't expect singers to match the price of their work to the wage levels of each country they're performing at ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+2, -0] That's why I only watch them on TV
