A female attendee of a recent LE SSERAFIM concert in Singapore has gone viral for sharing her candid thoughts on what she described as “male-dominated, uncomfortable, and at times unbearable” experience in the standing section.
Her post-concert vlog quickly gained attention online, sparking heated discussions among K-pop concert-goers and LE SSERAFIM fans.
In the video, she prefaced her remarks with a warning: “Low-key I might get cancelled for talking about this, but let me just share my experience.”
Her first observation was the overwhelming presence of men in the crowd. “It was like 90% men, 10% girlies—I’m not even exaggerating. I expected 60/40, but this was wild.”
She also criticized poor hygiene, noting that fans raising their arms to film sometimes caused discomfort for those nearby.
Another point of frustration was the lack of effort in some attendees’ outfits. While she praised fans—particularly women—who dressed up in theme-inspired outfits, she felt many male attendees did not make any effort to match the vibe of the event.
What troubled her most, however, was the sexualization of the idols. She overheard men commenting on Chaewon inappropriately: “I heard guys around me talking about wanting to see Chaewon ‘shake ass.’”
She acknowledged that many male fans attend out of genuine admiration but questioned those who barely knew the group’s songs yet still managed to get tickets.
Disruptive behavior extended beyond comments. She recalled one fan, dubbed a “Chaewon boy,” repeatedly yelling every few minutes for two hours straight, making it hard to hear the members on stage. Another attendee even pulled out a vape mid-concert, which she found shocking.
Her conclusion was both blunt and sincere: “Please just be responsible concert-goers. Respect the people around you. And if you’re uncomfortable with 10 million men beside you—maybe don’t go for standing.”
Coincidentally, LE SSERAFIM has often been criticized for having a fandom largely made up of male fans. This fan’s story seems to reinforce that perception. Many K-pop fans see this as a problem, believing it could shorten the lifespan of the fandom and contribute to other issues, such as sexualization and inappropriate behavior.
While her experience is just one perspective, it has sparked broader conversations about fan behavior, concert etiquette, and the dynamics of K-pop fandoms. Many agree that respecting fellow attendees and creating a safe, enjoyable environment should be a priority at all concerts—regardless of gender.
