@kpopconcertseu not only do tour companies refuse to tour anywhere but london - when there are hundreds of venues all around the UK that are much more accesible to much more people AND cheaper - but then to have that decision making fall on the price that us fans have to pay...? its just unfair
@kpopconcertseu like, the snapshot price conversion is fair enough, 42 euro is around 37 GBP - so why can't the other tickets follow the same pattern? you cant just knock 6 off the euro price off everything and be done...
i’m so tired of these companies or anyone in general using street concepts as a way to culturally appropriate. you look at black culture and see the style and find it cool but you treat the people themselves like dirt.
Lee Doongie turns 13 today. Despite being only 13 years old, She has already debuted 8 consecutive no. 1 albums on B200, 5 songs on hot100 and finished a successful tour with 2.1M+ attendees.
tbh if ur more concerned for what ppl are gonna say about these braids vs making sure to call it out and try to make sure the company takes action..
yes they r gonna get shit for it. yes it sucks. but yes they need to get these comments so it doesn’t continue happening hello.
Deleted allhours from my strawpage after the concept picture came out, not supporting them until something change and if they just take the "we'll be silent about it" route i guess it's a goodbye. Been supporting them for a while but it's too much. Fire the stylist pls.
Hello,
We're going to share the email template that is currently being sent to the company about the hairstyle so anyone who wants to reach out can use it as a reference.
The intention here is to raise awareness and educate the company about why this hairstyle can be considered culturally insensitive, not to send hate or negativity towards the company, the stylists, or any of the members.
Please keep your messages respectful and focus on explaining the issue rather than attacking anyone. We want our concerns to be taken seriously and handled appropriately.
i love my boys sm but i'm gonna always but morals before kpop you can still support your favs as well as calling out their mistakes as well as the companies taking accountability will always be something that's important to me idc who it's about

SUBJECT : [ALL(H)OURS] 현빈 헤어스타일 관련 수정 및 피드백 요청 건 / Request regarding ALL(H)OURS Hyunbin's hairstyling
Dear Eden Entertainment,
First of all, we would like to thank all the staff and executives at Eden Entertainment for your hard work and dedication toward ALL(H)OURS’ upcoming comeback.
We are writing this email to express our deep concern and request urgent action regarding member Hyunbin's hairstyle (braids) shown in the recent comeback teaser content.
This hairstyle carries deep cultural and historical significance for specific communities and cultures. Using this style can be perceived as cultural appropriation, and, apart from the significant criticism and backlash as the content spreads across global communities and social media, this case also portrays the lack of acknowledgement and understanding of certain cultural aspects that should be respected.
To respect every community but also protect the artist and ensure smooth, successful promotions, we respectfully request the following:
- Review and reshoot/edit teaser content: Please consider editing or reshooting the photos/videos featuring this hairstyle before wider distribution.
- Change hairstyling for promotions and upcoming tour: Please ensure that this hairstyle is not used for Hyunbin during upcoming music show promotions, content filming, or the tour.
- Internal education on cultural sensitivity: We kindly ask that the staff, styling team but also the members educate themselves regarding styling choices to respect all ethnicities, cultures, and religions, avoiding potential offensive choices in the future.
We want ALL(H)OURS to receive the love and praise they deserve without unnecessary controversies. We hope for your prompt response and thoughtful action on this matter.
Sincerely,
MIN(UT)ES

안녕하세요,
먼저, 올아워즈의 이번 컴백을 위해 항상 애써주시는 임직원분들과 모든 스태프분들께 감사의 말씀을 드립니다.
다름이 아니라, 최근 공개된 컴백 티저 콘텐츠 중 멤버 현빈 군의 헤어스타일(브레이즈/드레드) 스타일링과 관련하여 긴급한 확인 및 조치를 요청드리고자 연락드렸습니다.
해당 스타일링은 특정 문화권(흑인 문화)의 고유한 역사적·문화적 정체성과 깊이 연관되어 있는 디자인으로, K-POP의 글로벌 진출 과정에서 문화적 전유(Cultural Appropriation)로 지적될 가능성이 매우 높습니다.
현재 글로벌 팬덤을 비롯해 타 팬덤 및 대중에게 해당 콘텐츠가 계속 확산될 경우, 아티스트와 소속사 모두에게 불필요한 비판과 논란이 발생할 위험이 있습니다. 또한, 향후 진행될 공식 활동 및 투어 일정에도 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있어 깊은 우려가 됩니다.
이에 미닛은 아티스트를 보호하고 올바른 활동을 지원하기 위해 아래 세 가지 사항을 소속사에 정중히 요청드립니다.
- 콘텐츠 수정 및 재촬영 고려: 공개된 티저 이미지 중 문제가 될 수 있는 스타일링 요소에 대한 수정 혹은 재촬영 조치를 조속히 검토해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.
- 프로모션 및 투어 시 스타일링 변경: 이번 컴백 프로모션 활동 및 향후 예정된 투어 일정 동안 현빈 군에게 해당 헤어스타일이 재적용되지 않도록 유의해 주시기 바랍니다.
- 문화적 다양성에 대한 교육 및 주의: 향후 콘셉트 기획 및 아티스트 스타일링 시 다양한 문화, 인종, 종교적 배경에 대한 이해를 높이고, 문화적 전유 이슈가 발생하지 않도록 사전 사전 검토 과정을 강화해 주시기를 바랍니다.
올아워즈와 현빈 군이 많은 이들에게 더 널리 사랑받고, 안전하게 활동을 이어나갈 수 있도록 소속사의 신속하고 현명한 판단과 대응을 부탁드립니다.
감사합니다.
