I wrote a little blurb in the Confessions of an Uncle Fan
column yesterday about how dedicated international fans are when their
favorite groups are visiting their country. That's one of the things
that I missed as a K-pop fan back in the late 1990's because
international tours or concerts basically didn't exist, especially if
you didn't happen to live in LA or New York (H.O.T. did visit Washington, DC back in 1997 but even that was in a high school auditorium - Fin.K.L visited Atlanta in 2000 as well but Joohyun & Lee Jin had
VISA issues and couldn't make the trip). At the time, before the
prominence of the internet, K-pop wasn't generating the kind of revenues
or drawing the huge number of international fans as they are now so it
just wasn't an option.
Today's Way Back Wednesday is
focused on the 10 groups or singers that I would have loved to have seen
live in concert if given the chance. Most of these groups are repeats
from other articles but some might actually surprise you.
