I read through all the replies you sent me, and seeing that some Lainz were disappointed with today’s concert has honestly left me so upset that I can’t fall asleep
First, I saw that some people felt the concert was too short, but think it probably felt shorter than usual because there wasn’t 발롯코 (📝the segment where we walk around near the audience) but I really hope people won’t say things like, “They don’t care about Villains anymore,” or “They skipped it because they couldn’t be bothered.”
In fact, we really wanted to do it. Up until right before we arrived at the venue, we were fully expecting to. We had already planned which songs we’d sing while walking around. We even chose songs like “Strawberry Cake” and “Little Things,” songs that weren’t on the main setlist, and we had already decided what we’d perform both today and tomorrow. We were so excited to see Lainz up close and singing these together. But when we arrived at the venue, for reasons we ourselves still don’t know, the 발롯코 was suddenly canceled that same day. We had no choice but to skip it
I know Lainz couldn’t have known that, so I understand why people were even more disappointed. Still, when something like this happens, instead of immediately saying things like, “Why are you guys so lazy?” or “Now that you’ve gotten bigger, you think you’re something?” I hope you’ll first think, “Maybe there’s a reason why things turned out this way,” and not lose your trust in us
Actually, I was really upset too. That time is incredibly precious to us because it’s our chance to get closer to the people who traveled so far to see us and personally thank them. I’m so disappointed that we had to send Lainz home without being able to do that
I also saw a lot of Bubble messages saying the setlist was disappointing. I think setlists are naturally a matter of personal preference, so it’s completely understandable that people will have different opinions. Feedback like, “I hope you play this song next time,” is always welcome because we can actually use that when preparing future concerts.
But comments like, “Why did you put together such a lazy setlist?” or “This setlist makes it obvious you didn’t even care about the concert,” aren’t very helpful from our perspective. It just feels like you're venting your emotions in an immature way because you're angry and annoyed. If you want to give feedback, I think it would be more helpful to tell me where and how you were disappointed.
I can honestly say, hand on my heart, that every single time we make a setlist, we spend a huge amount of time thinking about how to make it fun for as many Lainz as possible without making it feel predictable. Of course, we think that’s exactly what we should be doing.
This concert’s theme was “Summer Hell,” so we built the setlist around that concept. I completely understand why people missed songs like Sucker Punch, Little Things, or Pluto. Even I felt a little strange because it’s been a long time since we’ve done a concert without those songs.
But at the same time, I thought only relying on our familiar songs would make things feel too predictable. That’s why we wanted to bring something fresh by including songs we rarely perform, like Undefined, and even songs we’d never performed before, like Joyful Joyful.
On top of that, we also had to prioritize including seven new songs, so it simply wasn’t possible to perform every song we wanted. Either way, if the setlist disappointed you, I’m truly sorry. I just hope you’ll understand that we didn’t throw it together carelessly or without thought.
