In the k-pop space there has been so much discourse lately over Asian vs non-Asian crowds and how fans think artists enjoy it more overseas… when really, music is subjective and people enjoy it differently.
Every country has its own concert etiquette, and experienced global performers like SKZ and NEXZ should already understand this very well. One country’s way of enjoying concerts isn’t going to be everyone’s way. They’ve been in between cultures for most of their formative teenage years.
Having watched NEXZ in several countries, I can say that they understand (or at least intuitively) this very well and always bring their absolute best to the stage. Anyone who makes the time to go and see them is a valued fan, so there really is no need for discussions.
The NEX2Y fandom has always been very united in supporting NEXZ regardless of culture or language. We’re a global fandom supporting global idols.
I personally think we can appreciate how differently people around the world enjoy NEXZ without letting those differences turn into a competition over which crowd they will enjoy “better.” It opens door for racism and hostility and worse…division.
Accept things as ‘cultural difference’ and respect those differences.
