Red Velvet Fans Outraged Over SM Entertainment's Mishandling of R to V World Tour
K-Pop enthusiasts are expressing their dissatisfaction with SM Entertainment for the poor management of Red Velvet's R to V world tour.
The tour, which features multiple stops in Southeast Asia and Europe, has faced numerous issues such as inadequate venue sizes, ticket sales problems, and poor communication.
Limited Venue Capacity
Initially, ReVeluvs were enthusiastic about the R to V world tour. However, criticism quickly mounted when fans realized that SM Entertainment had "significantly undervalued" Red Velvet's popularity.
ReVeluvs are disheartened by the company's choice to book small venues for the popular K-Pop group, despite their substantial fan following.
One fan noted that the concert date tours have received 20 million views, yet the selected venue in Singapore can only accommodate 5,000 attendees. Fans are perplexed that the venue remains the same as it was five years ago.
Disappointment in SM Entertainment's handling of the situation has escalated, with one fan expressing sadness over Red Velvet's treatment.
Nine years after their debut, the group's fourth concert is still being held in a relatively modest venue.
In response to these concerns, some ReVeluvs propose that if the venue remains small, the agency should offer at least two concert dates to cater to the high demand from their devoted fanbase.
European Leg Mismanagement
SM Entertainment is currently facing backlash for the apparent poor organization of the European portion of the tour.
Although the first European concert is scheduled to start in just two weeks, tickets have not yet been made available for any of the venues.
ReVeluvs are frustrated by the absence of ticketing information, such as seating arrangements and pricing, and the short notice given for the London date's ticket sales.
Expressing Discontent Online
ReVeluvs have turned to Reddit to air their grievances, placing blame on both SM Entertainment and concert promoter MagicSoundKpop.
Fans are questioning how an established company with decades of experience could mismanage a tour for a group as renowned as Red Velvet. Some ReVeluvs fear that poor ticket sales and Joy's absence might result in the tour's cancellation.
Last-Minute Tour Arrangements
Many ReVeluvs believe that the tour was hastily assembled and should have been delayed to a more suitable date for all parties involved.
They argue that SM Entertainment failed to consider the time and effort required for Western fans to arrange travel plans, potentially leading to weak ticket sales.
Repercussions for ReVeluvs
Some ReVeluvs who had intended to attend the concerts now say they are unable due to the event's last-minute nature, which is devastating for them. Many hope for a resolution that benefits both the fans and Red Velvet's members.
The mismanagement of Red Velvet's R to V world tour has left ReVeluvs angry and let down. SM Entertainment faces criticism for its poor handling of the event, and fans hope for a solution that allows them to enjoy the performances they have eagerly anticipated.
