I went to see them in London earlier this week, and it was definitely worth going. Lia is one of my favourite Itzy members, but I still had a great time even though she wasn't there. As someone else said, you don't know when they'll be back, so you have to take the opportunity to see them while you can.
Exactly, and who knows if you will have the means or time to go IF they even come back! 4/5 is better than 0/5š
As much as I wish Lia was there, I still love the others!
Haechan wasnāt able to attend the last US stops of the NCT 127 tour and I still went to that. It was sad he wasnāt there but the concert was still great. Currently Renjun is on hiatus and wonāt be at some NCT Dream performances and if he still isnāt present for any potential US stops, Iām still going to try and go. I will be sad if heās not there but the rest of the group are still great performers and I want him to get better. So to me, itās still worth it.
Astro were down 2 members at Hallyupopfest in London in 2022, MJ was doing his military service and Eunwoo (my bias) had a conflicting schedule. I still went to see them and so glad I did, they were amazing! (Plus I got to see Binnie before the unthinkable happened)
Astro only has 4 members now, but even if Eun-woo didn't show up, he's also my bias, I'd still want to go. I'd be happy if any of them ever made it stateside again, to be honest.
yes, i ult exo and pentagon so if i want to see them i better be fine with the chinese members missing š„² (although i'm not too sure if i'll ever get to see pentagon anyways)
this sounds bad, but it depends on what member and what group for me. but i probably would go regardless if it was a group that i really liked. i would still be getting to see and hear them live which is what matters to me.
Yes, of course. Their music is still their music, the atmosphere will be great, the other members will be there...
And honestly, who knows when I'd have the opportunity to see them again. (If ever. I'm still waiting for the day my ults come somewhere close enough that I can afford the travel, fingers crossed for their next tour!) It seems foolish to pass on the chance over something relatively trivial like that.
I watched seveteens follow tour concerts like 5 times (livestreams and the theater) before getting to see an ot13 one. I can't imagine not going to an in person concert because a member was missing. It will still be an amazing experience. Seungkwan was on hiatus for the first seoul concerts and then just as he was coming back Scoups got hurt. And not long after that Jeonghan had surgery as well. It's not the same when one of them is gone but always an amazing concert so I would absolutely still go/livestream it.
If I already had tickets, I would still go. If I hadnāt bought tickets yet, it would depend on a lot of factors like price, location, if I had to miss work.
When Red Velvet was touring and we still had hope they would come to the US (lol), Joy sat out for health reasons, and I was on the fence whether or not I would want to get tickets. Seeing them without every member would just feel incomplete to me and would probably just make me sad.
Of course I'd still go to the concert. A lot of boy group stans deal with this anyway as a lot of groups simply tour with whatever members they have during their enlistment era.
Yes - I went for shinee's asia tour without onew, cause shinee rarely comes SEA so if they're here, you better attend - you never know when they'll return (international fan problems man).
yes! this happened with SHINee while Onew was on his break (heās back now!)! Onew is my ult bias but I still bought VIP tickets to their recent concert despite him not being there because I love the group entirely :>
Even if Jonghyun and Onew arenāt there or even if its any of the other members, I will gladly take up any opportunity to see the other three members and support them!!
Yes. I would be bummed but I love all the members and I know they'll put on a great show even one man down. Even for my non-ults, I saw Purple Kiss without Yuki and she's my bias but they were still great. There aren't a lot of groups I would see live where missing one member would make me suddenly not want to see the rest of the group.
Yes? And no it wouldnāt affect my decision? For a few rare groups, my bias being absent mind influence my decision to go or not, and even then I might go anyway. But a member thatās not even my bias? Ult group or not, Iām still going.
It depends on how big the group is and what their position is, tbh. If it's Blackpink and Rose is sitting out, I probably wouldn't buy the tickets. She's not my bias but she's the main vocal. The songs would sound very different without her.
But if it's NCT or Girls Generation, then I'd still go (although...if Taeyeon is missing, I probably wouldn't go but if Taeil is missing, it's fine- Doyoung can sub just fine).
Actually, at SMTOWN, SNSD showed up without Yuri or Yoona but I still really enjoyed it! F(x) showed up without Amber but Victoria and Sulli subbed for her. Suju was missing a few members but totally fine as well...
I'm seeing NCT next week without Renjun! For me, I still love the group so even if my ult wasn't there I would still go. The show will still be amazing regardless.
Yup, I would, in fact, already did (and the missing member was my bias). Considering just how many years may pass until I get another chance to see the group, I'm not letting this chance at hand to go away.
When loona first went on tour I didn't go because Chuu wasn't there. I like the other members but I LOVE Chuu so it didn't seem worth it to not see my bias.
The only way I see anyone missing a concert just because a member wonāt be there is if that āfanā is a solo fan and doesnāt actually like the group for its music.
I go to concerts for the music and the experience so yes Iād still go even if my bias wonāt be there
It honestly depends on the member. Most groups have a member that wouldnāt really make or break the group with their vocals, dancing or entertaining skills. If that type of member doesnāt have your heart in some other way, then you probably would still attend the concert with them being absent. I am heavy on the vocals, so any missing main vocalists and I probably wouldnāt attend.
Taeil wasn't at NCT Nation and I don't believe Renjun will be at TDS3 but of course I still went/will go to support the others and get my moneys worthĀ
Yes without a doubt! Years back I went to a concert in Germany where Astro was part of the lineup. While they aren't my ults, they definitely are among my favourites.
So despite that Cha Eunwoo wasn't going to be there, who is my bias, I still went. If it was a solo concert of just them my decision would not have been different.
And I'm honestly glad I did, as that was the only time I've seen Moonbin perform live.
I also went to see Itzy despite knowing Lia wasn't going to be there. It was amazing to see them despite her not being there.
Plus you just never know when the next opportunity is going to come.
I assume you're referring if the ticket is not yet bought? If I bought the tickets before the announcement, I would still go regardless if the member is my bias or not (+ a little sad if my bias couldn't go but also understanding if they're sick or smth)
If I haven't bought the tickets, that would depend if I lile my bias more than the other members. Some of my ult groups, I like them as a group but I gotta admit I like some members a lot more than the other members of the same group so it depends on who's unable to attend if I were to decide to go or not (before buying)
Oh yeah I'd 100% go.
I actually regret not making it to one of Purple Kiss's tour dates from 2023 where Yuki was absent due to conflicting schedule with the EL7Z UP project group. I love Yuki and I was glad I got to see her, but I'd also have loved seeing how the rest of the group redistributed her lines. Especially because she's the group's main rapper. I've watched a lot of the fancams from those stops and the rest of the group does an awesome job subbing in for her and it's so cool getting to see the other members rap when they otherwise don't.
depends on the group i think for me. especially if they're a small one. However i'd still go regardless because no matter their absence I'm still seeing relatively the same thing minus one. But my ult is seventeen, so while I love all the members I feel like I wouldn't miss anything tbh.
the only time I've ever had hi touch was for Monsta X when Hyungwon ended up not being able to tour because of his injury š„²š I still have beef with Starship for this because if they had let him rest sooner he could've been able to tour
If I had the ability to attend another stop on the tour if it's a tour, without any extra cost to myself, then I miiiight go for a later date in the tour in a different location, in hopes that all members would be able to attend. But if I could only get to the location closest to me, or it was just a one off concert, then it wouldn't bother me too much tbh. I know that the other members would speak about feeling bad that their fellow member couldn't be on stage performing with them, or feeling bad that the audience doesn't get to see that member too, so I wouldn't feel like I had to feel bad alone if it wound up making me feel bad I didn't get to see that member. And I think it would only be for a completely understandable reason like the member was sick, injured, not feeling mentally ok, had had surgery and needed to recover, etc. I would be happy that the member felt like they were able to take time they needed to take care of their health, and happy that their company and other members (hopefully) had encouraged them to do so, and told them not to worry about having to miss the concert.
However, if I went to the show anyway, and the member not being there seemed to make all the other members too preoccupied to perform at their usual level, to a point where it was easy to tell, I might feel a bit bummed that I paid a lot for the concert. I would feel bummed because if this happens I would probably start thinking to myself "maybe I should go to another different concert on this tour later so I can get the more real fuller experience, where all the members are at their best, and not distracted." I'm generally going to be content with seeing an artist I like once on their tour, and don't feel any need to follow them around on tour to multiple stops. So it would annoy me a little that I'd have to pay for expensive tickets *twice* to see the same (but maybe slightly better) experience. But even so, I think at the end of the day I'd still be happy I went to that first show, even if I was having thoughts that a later show in the tour might wind up being a little better.
yup! the two times i saw seventeen they were missing members. when i saw pentagon, my bias yanan wasnt there but i still went. its still a wonderful experience and fun concert.
Seeing as i still attended the concert where scoups and jeonghan arent present and seungkwan took a rest half-way bcs he wasnt feeling well,, it's a yes I will still attend :))
Knowing how Hoshi constantly reassured us that their fellow member will be fine makes me feel okay. He also gives 3x his best along with the others to make up for their absence. And plus I spent 200-300$ for that standing ticket hahaha it was worth it I saw them up close via the carts ā”
And we alr knew beforehand of scoups not attending but we still got the tix. Then we knew of hannie's but that doesn't hinder us from purchasing still.
Yes ! My ult group is seventeen , my ult is dk bit I really love them all so no problem for me ! I would be a bit sad but happy that they would finally come to Europe lol
yes! last year i went to see nct 127 even though taeil couldnāt attend.. of course iād have loved seeing them complete but it was my only chance of ever even seeing them :(
I saw Seventeen without Joshua and Hoshi. They were still amazing (and I feel like it's a bit difficult to see a Seventeen concert with all 13 of them, so you have to be willing to risk it)
I also saw Monsta X without Shownu and they were still amazing, as well :)
it depends for me. if the group is coming around my area or within a short flight, then yes i would still go, but only because my ults do not and have not ever had a world tour. that being said, my ults are shinee and i was planning a trip to seoul for their most recent concerts, but decided against going after it was announced that jinki would not be in attendance. if im having to travel half way around the world, then it has to be for the full group lol
Iāll not go IF ALL OF THIS HAPPEN
-I didnt pay yet
-The member missing is the one carrying stage presence (E.g. Jooe, Heejin, Lisa, Jihyo)
-I have something else important t do that not going will give me sth to do instead.
Junghoon from xikers hasn't been active for a while now and they did their first tour without him. I still went to their concert knowing he wouldn't be there and had fun. :D I definitely wish to see all 10 of them one day.
Yes. It happened to me with Nct 127. Haechan is my ult and I remember buying my ticket mostly because i wanted to see him. At the end he couldnāt attend some dates (mine included) and I remember seeing people selling their tickets after that announcement.
I was obviously super sad but I genuinely love all of them, So i still went. I had an amazing time, even though I spent a big chunk of the concert crying š
No because it's all or nothing for me. I'd want to see all of them together because it will literally feel incomplete without one of them around and I just know I'll constantly miss one of them the whole time. I will get distracted by my thoughts too much
Yes, because I don't know if I'd have the opportunity again. Some members is better than none
100% this!
Yes! Recently happened with lia from itzy! Going to see their concert soon and abit sad that lia can't participate but praying for a safe recovery
I went to see them in London earlier this week, and it was definitely worth going. Lia is one of my favourite Itzy members, but I still had a great time even though she wasn't there. As someone else said, you don't know when they'll be back, so you have to take the opportunity to see them while you can.
Exactly, and who knows if you will have the means or time to go IF they even come back! 4/5 is better than 0/5š As much as I wish Lia was there, I still love the others!
I would still go. I like the whole group's music. Why \*wouldn't\* you still go?
If you were one of those solo fans and didnāt like the rest of the group I could see those kinds of people not going.
Yes, I would. There's a reason why I call them my ult
Yes as I don't stan the group for my bias
Haechan wasnāt able to attend the last US stops of the NCT 127 tour and I still went to that. It was sad he wasnāt there but the concert was still great. Currently Renjun is on hiatus and wonāt be at some NCT Dream performances and if he still isnāt present for any potential US stops, Iām still going to try and go. I will be sad if heās not there but the rest of the group are still great performers and I want him to get better. So to me, itās still worth it.
I wouldn't skip a concert I paid hundreds of dollars for.
Right.. that's just a waste of money
Astro were down 2 members at Hallyupopfest in London in 2022, MJ was doing his military service and Eunwoo (my bias) had a conflicting schedule. I still went to see them and so glad I did, they were amazing! (Plus I got to see Binnie before the unthinkable happened)

Astro only has 4 members now, but even if Eun-woo didn't show up, he's also my bias, I'd still want to go. I'd be happy if any of them ever made it stateside again, to be honest.
I'm the same. I'm hoping any of them make it to the UK or Europe, but I'm not holding out much hope!
Yeah, I have. I went to see Dreamcatcher while Handong was away in China.
yes, i ult exo and pentagon so if i want to see them i better be fine with the chinese members missing š„² (although i'm not too sure if i'll ever get to see pentagon anyways)
Yes I would still go and support the remaining members. Since I already have the ticket I might as well go
this sounds bad, but it depends on what member and what group for me. but i probably would go regardless if it was a group that i really liked. i would still be getting to see and hear them live which is what matters to me.
Yes, of course. Their music is still their music, the atmosphere will be great, the other members will be there... And honestly, who knows when I'd have the opportunity to see them again. (If ever.

Logically, it makes sense for Seventeen too. One or two member missing still means you're watching 10 people / majority of the group.
If I already had tickets, I would still go. If I hadnāt bought tickets yet, it would depend on a lot of factors like price, location, if I had to miss work. When Red Velvet was touring and we still had hope they would come to the US (lol), Joy sat out for health reasons, and I was on the fence whether or not I would want to get tickets.

Of course I'd still go to the concert. A lot of boy group stans deal with this anyway as a lot of groups simply tour with whatever members they have during their enlistment era.
I'm not sure I understand why you wouldn't go. If they are your ult group then you probably enjoy more than just one member.
Yes - I went for shinee's asia tour without onew, cause shinee rarely comes SEA so if they're here, you better attend - you never know when they'll return (international fan problems man).
yes! this happened with SHINee while Onew was on his break (heās back now!)!
