The Boyz Zeneration Concert Review (Patreon)

I HAVE SO many thoughts, mostly not good but it is what it is lol.

The positives are, AT LEAST the music fucking BANGS for the most part, wish we had more of my fave bsides but also had some amazing ones. Their performance has a lot of energy and their styling isn't the worst I've seen.

Sunwoo is such an amazing, charismatic and captivating idol. He's so special and my love for him just keeps growing, so full of personality. Juyeon, Eric, Jacob & Kevin were also stand outs.

Now.

As I said in the video The Boyz are 6/7 years in now, WHERE is the artistic touch and creativity here? I DO speculate that because they don't have a leader in the typical sense and Sangyeon is a more laidback "class president" there's a lack of artistic creativity, risky taking as a result of that. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because they're still successful and have their own/sound and feel but conceptually it can leave their concerts feeling a bit uninspired BUT maybe other concerts aren't like this?

I would urge them to get a creative director to really make their performance a experience without increasing the budget though I do mention that getting 11 people to agree on things is probably WHY things are more simple, much like Seventeen however I do think some additions and remix moments here and there will also help some of the other members be more dynamic in their performance/facial expressions.

Many times you either get wooden/afraid expressions or intense/angry and not much else in between which to me registers as "I'm going through the motions, I'm at work and I'm not even 100% sure what I'm singing about". Once again, 11 people, when choosing a setlist I'm sure there are some unhappy troopers here and there lol.

Oh and the vocals. GWORL. I'd say about 25-30% of this was live which isn't too bad but it was a bit jarring it being when it came in at random times in comparison to the person miming. Overall the energy DID get better right after Watch it. That song fucking HITS. I also would've maybe opened the concert with Maverick tbh for the first set was pretty weak energy wise.

ENJOY!
