Concerts are usually filed with spectacular performances, amazing choreographies, visuals, and a showcase of the artists abilities. However, no matter how much you love music or the artist, the behavior of some fans in the audience can cause a little inconvenience and irritation. While the joy of seeing your favorite idol live can offset almost everything, certain actions that can hinder the experience of other fans can also halve the enjoyment of the show. Here is a look at some concert actions that fans often find uncomfortable.
1. Raising your phone too high
The desire to record every moment of a performance is understandable. However, when fans hold their phones above their heads, they often block the view of those behind them. It can be an especially annoying situation for sitting areas or short fans. Since all fans are recording the same performance, wouldn’t it be better to enjoy the moment in real time or just record the moment at an eye level?
2. Sonny Angel and Hippers
Sonny Angel and “Hippers” are cute and nice; they look for display and are of course fun to bring with, but having them attached to your phone and raising your phone for too long during a show is a problem. It can be annoying if a small figure or doll blocks your view, especially at a critical moment. Cute plushies/dolls hanging around you is okay, but make sure you are not getting in the way of people around you.
3. Overly sized headband and bubblehead
Concerts are a great opportunity for fans to showcase their dedication through outfits, lightsticks, and fan merchandise, but wearing a headband or bubblehead that is too big will make it difficult for those sitting behind you to see the performances. Although it may seem cute, putting a big ornament over your head can block other fans’ view, thus making it a good idea to just avoid items that are too big.
4. Standing in a seating section
In the standing area, of course everyone is expected to stand up. However, fans standing in the seating section can cause inconvenience to those around them, especially for those people who have specifically bought their seated tickets for the convenience of watching the concert while sitting. It’s okay if during the show everyone stands up altogether, but when some people stand up, the fans behind them are forced to follow too. It is important to keep an eye on the atmosphere around you and observe concert etiquette.
5. Filming oneself with flash on
Another major inconvenience is fans who film themselves with the flash on. In a darkened arena, the sudden bright light from flash photography or filming can be really distracting for those around them. The intense light stands out in the dark and can easily disrupt the experience for nearby fans. Plus, concerts are already full of amazing lighting and effects, so there’s no need to add your own flash! When youโre surrounded by fans using their phone flash, it can quickly take away from the fun of the show. Let the stage lighting do its job, and enjoy the concert in the moment!
6. Holding up slogans and banners for long
Fan slogans and banners are an iconic part, especially for K-Pop concerts. As much as it is important to show your love and support for the artist at certain moments during the performance. However, holding a banner for too long can block other fans’ view. It is good to participate in certain moments, but before and after a moment, make it a practice to set aside the banner so that everyone can enjoy and see the performances.
7. Unnecessary pushing in the standing area
This is one of the common complaints at all concerts. Pushing and physical fights often occur in standing areas. I understand why fans want to get closer to the stage, but it is also important to respect personal space. Excessive pushing can not only ruin the experiences of those around you, but it can also lead to safety concerns. Concerts should be fun for everyone, so much consideration for each other is necessary.
Conclusion
As concerts are a thrilling experience in itself, but some fans’ actions may ruin it a little. Fans need to remember that they are part of a group audience and always be careful how they influence the enjoyment of others. The next time you go to a concert, consider yourself and others to enjoy it together. Don’t forget that what matters is love and music for idols!
