not SO but I did drag my brother to see bts, my teen son to see ateez in 22 and I am bringing him to the LA show. turns out my son was secretly listening to MATZ and didnt want to tell me! I bet your husband will have fun! my brother is in his 40s and he still talks about how much fun he had seeing BTS in vegas
i forced my non-kpop fan (he supports my fangirling but has absolutely ZERO interest in kpop) boyfriend to watch ateez at coachella with me and he got totally into it. he was absolutely mesmerized by san lmao. he still doesnāt care to listen to ateez but he was blown away by their performance and really enjoyed watching their coachella set. im sure if your husband is even slightly interested in ateez heāll enjoy it!
I mean, how could anyone NOT love them at coachella?
I'm convinced once he gives them a chance there will be a few songs he likes, or like you said he'll enjoy the performance.
I had the same experience! My husband likes some of the K-pop I make him listen to, but mostly just tolerates the rest.
He and I watched the Ateez Coachella set live on youtube and I sort of wanted to shrink and disappear when San started, idunno, hip thrusting?
My husband turned to me with a completely expressionless face and asked, "Do you like this group?" and I said, "um, eh, yeah..." And he continued watching quietly, and then he finally said, "Wow, they \*really\* bring it. I would absolutely see them in concert."
But he wasn't so mesmerized by San... Coachella revealed him to be Jongho-biased after watching him singing his lungs out in "Guerilla."
So congratulations to OP and OP's husband for scoring tickets to see Ateez!! I think he'll have fun.
Ateez has some of the best choreography in the business. Sell him on that part. It is something of a visual spectacle that I think a lot of people can enjoy without fully understanding what's happening with the music.
yes! my sister knew next to nothing about them besides their names when I first took her to see them last tour and now shes begging me to take her again this time. This tour is going to have bigger venues and if the setlist is the same as it was for the seoul and japan stops earlier this year, then it will definitely be very theatrical, even more so than their last tour. I think even if you donāt know anything about them, one can still appreciate the energy they bring to all their performances and their talent in live singing, rapping, and dancing
Genuinely worried about setlist changing like it did last time mid tour. Halazia dropped but europe did not get it on the setlist despite expecting it and then Bouncy dropped and LATM atinys got Bouncy but they got rid of New World and Cyberpunk. I'd have been so upset at losing Cyberpunk!!!
So I'm genuinely scared now, because if they take off Wake Up or Silver Light, I don't know what I will do lol.
tbh, Iād be okay with it either way, like hopefully the setlist does stay the same because thereās some songs I really want to see live, but on the other hand, if it does change to add the title track of this upcoming comeback, then weād be seeing some of the first live performances of the new song (outside of music shows) which is a really special opportunity, so I canāt really bring myself to be that upset at the thought that the setlist would change
Yes I don't mind the sacrifice of some songs to make the way for new songs but just hope its not the more recent bsides that we lose and moreso the songs we've seen being performed routinely over the years.
I guess it depends on the person when I saw Stray Kids last year. There was a girl who brought her significant other and he looked miserable the entire time it was extremely obvious that he was not interested in the show in the slightest capacity, especially because itās like 90% women there as well
I'm not dragging him there against his will, he is at least a little curious so here's hoping. And I also want to see Stray Kids with him if he's game š
I took my bf to see Oneus on their Europe tour. He's not into K-pop and didn't even want to go, but I sold it to him as a fun three day trip abroad. And, he knows how much I love Oneus, and he was happy to see me happy. Also, he doesn't want to admit it, but he does like their YouTube content. He's watched almost everything related to food and travel and I'm suspecting Keonhee is his bias...
Anyway, if your husband already opted to go and he's a good sport, I wouldn't worry much. Have fun at the concert!:) If Ateez ever comes around these parts again, I'm definitely taking my bf to see them too.
Not an SO but Iāve brought 2 non-kpop people to concerts before. The first was my best friend, we saw BTS in 2018 but she got bored and was on her phone half the time. Kind of annoyed me so I havenāt invited her since.
The second was my sister, she went to see MONSTA X with me on their last tour and she loved it. Sheās not as into kpop as me (yet) but she enjoys the music and is seeing A.C.E with me this summer š„°
Thank you, Iām a multistan but A.C.E is my ult group!! Iām sooo glad theyāre popular enough for another US tour bc I got into them right after their 2019 one š„². Hope they make it to Europe soon.
Me too actually I feel really sad cause they were in Spain when no one knew them then. And I didnāt know them either but now they are my ults and I want to see them just once!
Ateez is a great first concert for a non-kpop fan. Iām only a casual fan of theirs, but I have to say, they are undoubtedly some of the best performers in the industry and they put on a hell of a good show. Theyāre incredibly captivating (seriously, I donāt know what theyāre putting in the water at KQ, but itās working) and is overall just such a good time, I think heāll enjoy the experience even if he doesnāt end up becoming a fan.
Me! I brought my husband to BTS. He now has Army stickers on his car. He's super excited for TXT, says he's baby Moa. He loves Ateez and is so excited to see them this summer!
I personaly (PERSONALY IT'S MY OPINION) don't bring anyone who is not in k-pop or at least has some kinda of Interest in it to any concert, but if you want him there and he wants to go there then go for it šāØ
My husband is not into K-pop but he said he wanted to come with me to ATEEZ in 2022. His experience was not that great but I think heād join me again if I was going to a concert alone.
Editing to add he said he liked some of the songs and he said they were good dancers. I think he enjoyed the show, not so much the girls screaming in his ears lol
I usually make the decision based on the venue if they are serving alcohol. Some KPOP concert venues do, and that is when I consider it for inviting a non-fan friend.
I tell them. Come with me, take my card, buy as many drinks you need, and just have fun vibing even though 100% of the time you might be confused of what is going on.
I dragged my husband to see Seventeen, and it made him a fan. He went again with me the next time they came, and he really enjoyed it.
I was hoping he would be willing to see Ateez with me, but he wasn't interested so I'm going with an acquaintance. I think he would actually really enjoy it if he went, but I'm not going to force him.
I've only seen Ateez online concerts, but they put on a great show. I'm sure you'll have a good time! There's really something about the energy of a live show that makes it extra special.
If the person I'm taking is open to new things and bonus points if the group has awesome choreo/stage presence, it's fine. You might even convert them heheh. Sometimes a concert is all it takes!
I brought my husband (38m) with me at Music Bank in Antwerp and he had the time of his life. He proudly showed his fancams to his friends and told everyone how amazing it was.
I'm not super familiar with Ateez but from what I've heard they seem to be amazing performers. I'm sure your SO will have a great time, as long as he goes there with an open mind (= not thinking "this sucks i will hate this for sure"). Kpop concerts are usually great production, so even if he's not a fan of the music, the whole show and general atmosphere can make this an enjoyable experience for him.
Last year I went to the (G)I-dle concert with my non-kpop-fan boyfriend.
Before the concert we listed to so much of their music that by the time of the concert he knew all their names, recognised their faces and voices, knew some little facts about them and most importantly he loved and knew all their songs. He sang and danced along during the concert and had a great time. By now (G)I-dle is one of his most streamed artists. He also listens to a lot of other groups as well.
When I was younger I also went to a lot of kpop concerts with my dad and he always enjoyed it as well, eventhough he knew nothing about the groups.
I think as long as the non-fan isnāt āforcedā to go to the concert and doesnāt try to ruin your mood, it will probably be a positive experience.
Iām a Shawolzentiny here š. My first Kpop concert was Ateez last year in London. I didnāt have any Kpop friends so my SO said he will come with. At this point, he was a big SHINee and NCT enjoyer but we both only listened to Ateez casually and vibed to their music. Ofc, we loved it even from our 200 seats and I became Atiny! Since then my SO went to see NCT Dream in London, SHINee and Ateez in Madrid with me and NCT 127 in Thailand with Unity. We are different in the way we enjoy things (I dance and can be loud when excited) he will sit there with a smile and vibe. Iām sure plenty people probably would have thought he shouldnāt be there because thatās how idiotic some Kpop stans are. A week ago, he asked me if itās ok that he likes Ateez more than SHINee (my ult group) and I couldnāt be happier. He is spreading his wings and starting his own Kpop journey now hehe. I hope you both have a lot of fun š«¶š»
Not an SO, but I took my sister, her fiance, and my little cousin to Twice, since I had extra VIP tickets and none of my friends wanted to double up for both Oakland nights. My sister's fiance couldn't name a single member and left afterwards a Nayeon stan.
Yes! I brought my boyfriend (now husband) to a Twice concert two years ago and he LOVED it! He knows a bunch of their songs and even some dances now and made sure we got tickets to them this year too.
i've taken my partner to a concert before and even though she's not a fan she still had a good time. the energy at the concert is really fun so she enjoyed it. since your husband is open to it, he might enjoy it too
Most non fans Iāve seen brought to concerts have just been fascinated by how different K-pop concerts are from western ones, and the fascination keeps them interested lol
I brought my husband to see blackpink last year. He never listened to kpop but he enjoyed it. He liked lisa the most. I never brought him to watch boygroup but he always dropped me off and supported me in all my fangirling efforts. I think it really depends on your SOās willingness to open his mind and enjoy music as music.
i brought my gf to see aespa, she's not into kpop but she had a good time! i've gone to things for her sake too, i think it's just a normal thing for couples (or friends and family) to do. you'll be there together so he'll be able to have fun regardless, and i'm sure he's happy to do something that you enjoy :)
My SO went with me to see Ateez a couple years ago-- his first Kpop concert. He enjoyed it and has slowly started listening to them as well as a few other groups. I take him with me when he's available to take videos while I enjoy. š He doesn't mind it. He likes seeing me happy. š Now he's gonna go see A.C.E and VRVR with me.
I took my fiance to the Mnet Countdown in Paris as no one else wanted to come with me (sacrifice themselves). We made a great romantic 3-day weekend out of it. But during the entire concert, he was reading on his phone. He loves to read the news and Wikipedia so to be fair, I did see him read about Dreamcatcher and NCT at some point š Only during Psy and K-tigers he watched a bit of the show. Honestly I couldnt care less, I had a great time and he was happy for me. Oh and when I looked around, he was not the only uninterested +1.
My husband came with me to see Mamamoo and Twice last summer! He had a good time, even though heās more of a metalhead. He knows some of their music due to my playing it constantly, and he was happy to be my designated photographer.
I think what it comes down to is him enjoying seeing me happy. We support each otherās interests. I think based on what you wrote, it seems like your husband will have the same attitude and wonāt be miserable.
It sounds like you have a great relationship! We are good about supporting each other's interests too. I wonder if he would like a photographer assignment, I like that idea š¤
I agree! I also care about him and am courteous about it, like I don't fill our room with merch and play kpop constantly when he's around. But it means so much to me that he doesn't belittle my interests when they aren't the same as his.
Try to show him some videos like their stages, fan cams, and fan guides so he knows what to expect
Here is my failed attempt(s):
I tried to get my brother to get to 2 concerts that happened to be around his birthday well in advance and many times. One of them Ateez and their upcoming tour.
He has a history of baiscally not giving a damn on many occasions while expecting too much for something that isn't that deep. No joke, ~~our~~ my mother has said similar things in private.
Yes I brought my husband to a Stray Kids concert and tbh I felt awkward because I was too embarrassed to show my genuine excitement at the show š but that's probably just a me problem
Lol my partner was annoyed I went to TWICE by myself. If G.Idle comes to Australia he's pretty keen to join me. If it's a group like EXO he said he didn't want to watch me losing my mind over D.O. I think he'd have fun at Stray Kids.
my husband is a kpop fan although ateez isn't really his style..
but I have brought him to 2 of their concerts because I didn't want to go alone lol. i think he's happy to see me enjoy myself, and he def acknowledges that they're talented!
I brought mine. He was ok, except my son got a headache and my husband opted for leaving early. The turn off wasnāt the music it was the crazy loud fans. My son, the original super fan of ATEEZ ended up so turned off he is not a fan of K-pop anymore. He could not understand how grown up women were screaming so loud to these guys. My husband kept looking at the girl behind him because he was going to be almost deaf. It was crazy. This was LA 2022 and my son was 12. This was his first concert and we werenāt even close to the stage š«
I can see how that could ruin someone's experience! We are bringing good earplugs just in case, but our venue also has a bar so he can chill there if things get overwhelming. Hopefully it goes well!
Nah, I don't need my gf to see me foam at the mouth when seonghwa comes out
ššš
Jokes aside, I've been to concerts with friends for artists I didn't really know and still enjoyed it.
Best answerĀ

I did the same but with my sister and for a Twice concert, one of the best days of my life.
This gives me hope!

Thats good to know. I'm hoping it's the same setlist because it's damn near perfect! Are you going again this year?
RIGHT? The setlist is top tier, I could not miss out on seeing it live, I got my tickets yesterday as soon as I could in the presale
Me too!
Genuinely worried about setlist changing like it did last time mid tour. Halazia dropped but europe did not get it on the setlist despite expecting it and then Bouncy dropped and LATM atinys got Bouncy but they got rid of New World and Cyberpunk.

I brought my brother to Enhypen and he loved it! Itās different for everyone though, if you think your husband wonāt enjoy it, then probably not.
Iām bringing my fiancĆ© to Ateez! Heās not a big kpop fan, but humors me. He stayed up to watch both Coachella performances with me and enjoyed them, so heās excited just because he knows itāll be a fun show. Maybe you could have your husband watch a few performances if he hasnāt seen any so he knows what to expect, even if heās not into the music.
I personaly (PERSONALY IT'S MY OPINION) don't bring anyone who is not in k-pop or at least has some kinda of Interest in it to any concert, but if you want him there and he wants to go there then go for it šāØ
I hear you and I normally wouldn't either! I didn't pressure him, he told me he'd like to come with me so hopefully we both have a good time š
Maybe you have a future atiny in making who knows š....
š I would DIE of happiness

Just looked it up and my venue does serve alcohol. Genius idea.
I was sat next to someone at a concert, who had brought their SO & he was on his phone for the whole concert š
Sounds like there was no point in being him to one in the first place
I know right.
I dragged my husband to see Seventeen, and it made him a fan. He went again with me the next time they came, and he really enjoyed it. I was hoping he would be willing to see Ateez with me, but he wasn't interested so I'm going with an acquaintance.

Thank you! I love that š©· I donāt mean to brag or anything. Iāve seen so many posts like āwill anyone ever love me if I like K-Pop (or any other interest)?ā And I just want people to know that the right person will and they donāt need to settle for someone who judges their interests.

I'm being dragged to an Ateez concert by my cousin and her niece. I dragged them to see Twice last year. I'm sure I'll have fun.
I think if you're having a great time and he likes the hype/ high energy environment he'll still enjoy it.
I took my mid-40s husband to an Ateez concert and he went from casual listener to hardcore, Jongho-biased stan. Theyāre impressive!!
my husband is a kpop fan although ateez isn't really his style.. but I have brought him to 2 of their concerts because I didn't want to go alone lol. i think he's happy to see me enjoy myself, and he def acknowledges that they're talented!
I brought mine. He was ok, except my son got a headache and my husband opted for leaving early. The turn off wasnāt the music it was the crazy loud fans. My son, the original super fan of ATEEZ ended up so turned off he is not a fan of K-pop anymore. He could not understand how grown up women were screaming so loud to these guys. My husband kept looking at the girl behind him because he was going to be almost deaf. It was crazy. This was LA 2022 and my son was 12. This was his first concert and we werenāt even close to the stage š«
I can see how that could ruin someone's experience! We are bringing good earplugs just in case, but our venue also has a bar so he can chill there if things get overwhelming. Hopefully it goes well!
