Kcon Abu Dhabi 2016 {Rant}

Okay, so before starting this post, I just want to claim that I did not make this to spread hate to this [certain group] and I certainly don't want to be the reason why some fans would abandon their group or fanclub. I just needed to speak this out because concealing it within myself is too much to the point where I broke down a couple of times today. 

March 25th, 2016 it was the date of first annual korean-convention that happened in middle east, particularly Abu Dhabi and I was there. When I first heard the news I felt so happy about this, knowing that group A (not gonna reveal) was going in there too along with other groups that I personally like as well! I even cried when I got my ticket. 

So yeah, overall the convention and concert lasted for 8 hours, and yes I was there the whole day visiting each and every booths. I first heard some screams on the meet and greet section and I was like far away from this Group A and all I hear was screams and chants and all of those. I wasn't even near them to even see their face, not complaining though because I was too late to even get a good spot to record a video. 

I won a red carpet ticket and i was like yes!! finally a place where I could see them much closer. Group A came and they all looked very dull and didn't even have any emotions with them. And I was assuming maybe they were just tired or so that they can't even make proper interaction with fans. I was screaming my lungs out for this certain [member] note: I was the only one screaming his name and he didn't even budge to turn his head and didn't even wave or something. Not necessarily to me but also to other fans who were chanting their name. But I shrugged it off thinking that maybe there were too many fans to even look at so they didn't bother doing so. Group B and C came and so on and they were really energetic and enthusiastic with interacting with their fans! Even did some poses and stuffs. 

During the concert, Group A performed and they didn't even budge to even interact with the fans except for this [member] who made some poses for the fans to take a picture of. And that's it!!! They did small waves and smiles so I was first okay with it. After their performance I was shocked since I was sitting next to the barricades where they have to walk to to exit and go to the back stage I think. And everyone! Literally everyone on my side was screaming out their name. Memer 1 didn't even budge to turn his head to all the cameras pointed at him, he just directly went straight to where he was lead to. ps. they didn't have their manager with them. another member came and walked past us but he did a small wave but he was wiping his sweats, he did wave but he wasn't looking at us. And another member who did the same with the first member. I wasn't able to see the other members since I got pushed in the back. I got really sad but then I kept trying to hold it in assuming that probably they were really just tired and stuff.

But then other groups performed and interacted with us. This one member from other group even waved at me and this other performer even held out her fans' hands so I felt really sad and disappointed with Group A not even wanting to interact with us.

Today, I stumbled upon a post. She was basically ranting about the same thing about this Group A and I felt really relieved yet disappointed at the same time knowing that I wasn't the one who only experienced that. She was legit so near with Group A like a foot away and she was screaming her lungs out for them but they didn't budge to even turn their head to her and curl out a small smile. One member did but it was more of a pained forced smile. 

We had a conversation and she told me about this fan who was supposed to high-5 this Group A member since he had his palms open for a long time but then when she was about to touch him, he closed his hands into fists-- I felt really upset with them knowing that they're my bias group. I mean-- there are lots of groups who are more experienced than them and maybe even an idol longer than they were and yet they were acting like that. 

Another person I talked to- she was at the vip area and asked for group A for a picture and they declined because they didn't want to. But this certain member felt bad about it so he did pose with her but more of like a stoic face expression in the camera. Whats worst is that Group B who was like their sunbae sunbae happily posed with her and curled out a huge grin onto his face. 

I didn't mean to spread hate and such once again. I just have to let this out. I feel sad and upset seeing them being like that. Maybe they were tired, yes but aren't fans tired too? is a smile too much to ask for knowing that fans were really eager to see and meet them? They felt like they were forced to do the show or so. : (
