https://www.pannchoa.com/2022/08/instiz-loonas-severe-world-tour.html

 

 

These are the dates for their world tour

The dates are so packed that some members hurt their bodies so they are unable to participate

 

Member Haseul's shoulder condition was so bad that she had to wear a cast and now she's back in Korea to get treatment 

 

 

They had a break yesterday, but they had to participate in KCON and couldn't be a full-group so they were only 10 members

 

Once their world tour ends in September, they won't even be able to rest because they'll be going for their Japanese concert on October 1st and after that, they have scheduled concert in Manila. Meanwhile, they're also preparing for their Japanese album amidst their world tour. They also took their jacket pictures for the Japanese album 3 days ago.

 

Meanwhile, Chuu is unable to attend any of the world tour concerts because of her schedules and we still don't know what kind of schedules she has which is frustrating.. The media is quiet about it which is frustrating too.

Comments:

 

1. Looking at the dates, they seem to just be running around all the time and have no rest

 

2. Are they trying to repay the money the company invested in their trainee days with the world tour...

 

3. I seriously feel upset and sorry for the members being sick..

 

4. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 

5. What a legendary companyㅋㅋ

 

6. The tour is way too intense

 

7. They're moving from cities to cities every 1 or 2 days and performing in between, This is just eba. It's a pain to just move but they even have to do concerts too.. It'll be weirder if they didn't get sick

 

8. Are there not much time before contract renewal?? Looks like all the members will be leaving so they're shoving all those in..? Seriously this company is freaking weird

> They debuted in 2018 so there's 3 years left..

 

9. Do the members even get the rest...

 

10. Even when they made so much money with the world tour, they're still not getting paid?ㅋㅋ Blockberry are thugs 

[Geeminy]

I feel so sorry for the girls.

Who tf planned this tour???

They debuted a while ago and don't have a big target audience in Korea and majority of their supporters seemed to be coming from overseas. They probably thought the major source of their income would be coming from touring overseas while planning the group but unlucky for them COVID hit and that made them suffer financially so now that artists can tour again the agency is probably extremely greedy for money and recovering their losses hence the schedule.

They deserve better

I guess I don't see the issue? That's basically what a normal tour for a US group would look like, actually a bit shorter than many.

I guess compared to other kpop groups, it's really packed. Stray kids also had a fairly long US tour but they had almost a week long break in the middle, Twice "only" had like 7 dates in 5 cities if i'm not mistaken.

But yeah, i've seen western acts doing more shows than this in a short amount of time.

The whole tour has been a mess so far. KCON squeezed in between? Completely unnecesary. The members are tired and at breaking point. Not only physically but also mentally. Best example was when Kim Lip stepped off stage during one of the concerts due to being talked over by fans during an interview sequence. You cannot tell me the chanting and cheering would have bothered her as much had she been well rested and in better condition. 

 

I have tickets for the frankfurt concert next month. Let's see if the girls will even be in any condition to perform. Just tragic, the whole thing. And I was so excited too...

it becomes more apparent when you have a look at the timeline before the tour. The girls haven't been able to rest since before Queendom started - which is exactly where Haseul first hurt herself. Not to mention the COVID infection all of them had in May. It's maybe also worth mentioning that most bands touring on that schedule don't dance for 3 hours straight each concert date.

I'm happy to see them earning well but I hope their bodies hold up and they don't get screwed over financially.

Well plenty of groups/artists do dance the whole show. If the argument is that Loona is otherwise overworked... sure most K-pop groups are, just pointing out that if you're scheduling a US tour, that's about what you'd expect it to look like, it's not particularly tightly scheduled, a lot of travel days and only 3 back to back shows.

[jeong jaehyuns boyfriend]

this schedule is literally physical and emotional abuse. bitch, dealing with one day of travelling at the airport already takes me OUT. i cant imagine having to fly from city to city almost everyday or every other day, and having to pack and unpack all your shit up constantly, having to adjust to new hotel rooms, new cities, new food, new weather, etc. and rehearsals for concerts are long and gruelling. im a dancer, and rehearsing for just a few choreographies for 1 concert was already exhausting. i really respect these girls for being able to pull through, but i also feel sorry for them that their company is so ruthless with their physical and mental health. they deserve better.

[schue]

All the things I keep hearing about what happened to Loona these days is so unfortunate. Back when they debuted, I was wondering where their company came from because they were this unknown but also new company that suddenly had insane budget and investment for the group with all the pre-releases and solos and the quality mvs+songs. And now the company is abusing and overworking them on top of the problems/lawsuit with Chuu. I won't be surprised if everyone won't renew when the contract expires.
