Recently, a photo of Red Velvet Wendy’s solo concert in the States went viral online.
An online community board posted about the photo, stating that her show was empty.
Previously, issues with tours overseas have sparked much debate online. Wendy, who cancelled her Atlanta date, still had many seats open for her October 30th date.
Many felt that the pricing was too high and even blamed the company for a lack of promotions.
Popular Artists’ Empty Venues On Day Of Concerts Exposes Massive Problem With K-Pop
With this, netizens defended the artist regarding the turnout.
- “So I guess she didn’t cancel her dates. The other boy group did.”
- IU is the only female artist to have filled out a U.S. concert tour. Even Jennie couldn’t do it.”
- “Wendy herself was happy, and I hope her fans were happy. I don’t understand why she’s being mocked for it being empty. Selling out a concert is a good thing, but even if they don’t, as long as the artist and the fans are having a good time, then it’s fine. Does she have to become a laughing stock because she didn’t sell out? It’s amazing that she made a solo concert or solo fan meeting possible.”
- “Even aespa couldn’t fill out their seats. Why is everyone only criticizing Wendy?”
- “Regardless of selling out seats, the artist is confident, so why are people criticizing her?”
