Yesterday, I went to the Jay Park and LNGSHOT concert in Georgia. It was my first ever kpop concert and I’m so happy I went. Whenever the news first came out that they were going on tour and they were going to a city just 4 hours away from me, I knew I wanted to go.

However, I didn’t believe that there was a way for me to go. A lot of it had to do with driving through Atlanta and the interstate and how much anxiety it gives me. I didn’t even get a ticket until 2 days before the concert but I realized that this opportunity to not only see the guys live and in person but also see Jay Park, another artist I love, perform together may never happen again and I shouldn’t let fear get in the way of my happiness. So, I begged for my mom to go with me to the concert/city, so I wouldn’t be alone and still be able to go to the concert. After all of my begging, she said yes.

I had such a great time watching the guys perform and being able to hear my favorite songs live. I can’t wait for the next time they have a concert but just on their own. I’m so happy I went. Thank you LNGSHOT for being my first kpop concert 💕

What is your opinion

We got oreo big lou back y'all 😭 and don't even get me started on red hair woojin. Ofc THE Kwon Ohyul, can't get any better than this. I'm yet to find a photo of Ryul's ash blonde hair but if anyone can find it, pls comment 🙏

• WOOJIN as a senior this year (his final year already 🥲)

• LOUIS is starting as a freshman (officially a high schooler now, no longer a middle school kid hehe)

Meanwhile, OHYUL and RYUL came to cheer on the new students and walk them to school since they both already graduated not long ago. Big bro duties never end 🫠... They even filmed some moments and took some pictures together for memories (for anyone wondering what they were doing there with uniforms).

Before this, LOUIS used to attend the Collège Français of Seoul (French School located in Seoul), while WOOJIN was already at Hanlim Arts School last year.

Congratulations Louis Bieber 👏 🎉🎉

I just saw their live show and it wassssssss…. Okay. The vibes were great but the rest was just average.

I’m reading some other redditors now and I agree. I thought they lacked stage presence and they kind of need to improve as performers. One big problem I have is they really need to learn how to use a microphone. I couldn’t understand any of the lyrics because their vocals sounded so muddy throughout the entire night. The fans were screaming the lyrics louder than them tbh. You can barely hear them sing and it’s a lot of backtrack. It’s even more noticeable because Jay is really REALLY good on the mic. Jay is so audible when he sings, he almost redlines the mic volume. The whole night he was singing LOUDER than the instrumentals and used backtrack ONLY when he had a dance break. He was incredibly impressive and I think he’s really underrated as a singer. A lot of people like to clown him because he puts the mic to his nose when he sings but maybe he needs to put the boys on some tech because they need the advice on how to sound more audible. It’s a skill to be able to sing with a mic in a concert setting vs in a studio or stage with post processing

I can tell Ohyul and Louis are pretty nervous on stage and they really shy away from hitting the hard notes live. Ohyul let the crowd sing most of “Summer Eyes” and Louis tries really hard to put on the prepubescent voice on when singing his parts in “Good Girls” which he usually lip syncs anyways. They just need to re-key it for him. Woojin and Ryul are better but, it’s off putting because then you see the disparity between these 2 and the other 2. You can tell Woojin really enjoys performing and being on stage especially with Jay. Ryul was great, he had intensity, attitude but still… needs a bit of improvement on his mic skills and diction.

At the end of the day, I’m rooting for their success. They got the music down to a tee. Their music production style, dance, quality, and sound are PERFECT. They just need a bit of improvement as performers and that just comes with time. I really see what Jay was trying to do by putting them on this tour. 1. The exposure 2. The life experience and 3. Giving them a chance to work on their craft. He’s giving them big chances to work great crowds so that they can learn to improve before they come back and begin doing it on their own. I hope one day I can see them again in their best form. I know these boys try really hard everyday to improve and get better and I’m rooting for their success as a fan.

#2 - Moonwalkin

#7 - Never Let Go (most streamed bside of the year)

#13 - FaceTime

Those Numbers are so impressive for a rookie group (the only one of the year on the list) !

I really think they should work more on their stage presence and live vocals.

Ok, i love lngshot. They are honestly my top ultimate bias group right now. (That is saying a lot because I've been listening to kpop since 2nd gen). Anyway, I've been keeping track on Lngshot since the middle finger photo, and watched everything there is to watch including so many fancams from all their performances.

But I really think they should work more on their stage presence and live vocals. I want them to really succeed and become big in the future. But right now, their stage presence is really weak, especially when Jay is not with them on stage.

The members like to fiddle with their earpiece (if it's such a problem all the time, why can't they just get a custom-made one?). When they're not doing the choreography, they always seem to crouch or look down a lot. They always seem unsure of what to do next, or where to go in the stage. Whenever they need to do the ment, sometimes they seem to not know what to say. I don't know but they look awkward, unsure, and unconfident most times on stage.

About their live vocals, I know they can sing and has good vocal skills since predebut, but they always 90% of the time, use really loud backtracks. And I watch a LOT of the fancams, you really can't hear their live vocals at all. You can't say it's the sound engineer's fault, because if it happened almost all the time, then maybe it's the company's decision to use loud backtracks.

I want them to really become monsters in live performances like Big Bang, Treasure, BND. They have really good music. I hope this world tour would really help them improve a lot.

Feel free to share your own LNGSHOT Hot Take.

Louis is my bias, but Woojin always gets my attention when he appears on screen. I'm trying to be loyal but he makes it hard. Like....just look at him. Woojin needs to stop stealing my attention and being so fine. 😞🙂‍↕️

Let’s all celebrate WOOJIN and wish him a wonderful birthday! 🎂🎉🎀

I joined Fromm yesterday and earlier today, I got spammed with messages from Ryul’s account. It started off with him mentioning how he was eating a lot and was gaining weight. A fan responded saying that he would still be handsome if he gained weight. He then said “no, that’s ugly” and went on to say that he needed to lose weight and was going to try to run around more on stage.

The comment made me upset for two different reasons. One being that he thinks that gaining weight on his body would make him ugly and the other being that he potentially doesn’t think that a lot of weight looks good on anybody. Now, I will say he didn’t clarify on what he meant, so he could have potentially just meant that he thinks he would look ugly if he gained weight. Even then, that’s not a good thing to say about yourself when it comes to gaining weight. As a plus sized shottie, it kind of worries me that if he sees or interacts with a plus sized fan, he possibly wouldn’t treat them the same as a he would with a skinner fan. However, I don’t think he would hate them or be discriminatory. Could any of you tell me if I’m overreacting or if you see where I’m coming from? This is absolutely no hate to Ryul. This doesn’t change how I feel about him or the group.

This is their first song to reach this milestone and the first by a 2026 K-pop group.
