โจConcerts in America
๋ฏธ๊ตญ์ ์ฝ์ํธ
I really love live music and have been to a lot of concerts in Korea. I honestly havenโt been to as many in America, but letโs take a look at some of the different ways Korean and American fans enjoy concerts.

First of all, security is usually much more lax at Korean concerts. In America, you arenโt allowed to bring in big bags. In fact, after the pandemic, most venues only allow see-through bags. You usually cannot bring any kind of food or beverages either.

However, most concert venues in America have concession stands along with merch tables, where you can buy various snacks and drinks, including alcohol. Also, American artists usually have a couple of different merch booths instead of just one main one. This helps deal with crowding.

Once youโre inside the arena, things might also look different. At K-pop concerts, Iโm always surprised by the number of signs and lightsticks everyone has. Each group has their own. The fans also have their own chants that they sing along with the artists.

In America, we arenโt that big on signs or lightsticks. However, people will shine their smartphone flashlights during slow songs. Americans are also very likely to stand up, dance, scream, cheer, and sing along with their favorite artist. Although some people consider it rude to stand in the seated section, others get too excited. As long as you donโt stand for the whole concert, most people let it go.

One thing for international fans to be careful of is attending rock concerts. These can get rather violent, as fans push to get closer to the stage. While Korean and American concerts arenโt too different, you might be surprised or even offended by some of the behavior of other fans. Just remember, theyโre there to enjoy their favorite artist, just like you.
