jihoon said there originally wasnt a Korea stop for their fan concert. it was supposed to be a full japan tour but him and the members thought they have to do a concert in korea first so they had junkyu and asahi propose it to the company.. 🐶 about Hwajeong Gymnasium.. I know a lot of you felt the venue was a bit too small, and honestly, I felt the same way. 🐶 the reason we didn’t say anything before the concert was because the fan concert was originally planned and decided by YG Japan. at first, we were only given the list of Japanese venues. 🐶 when we [treasure] saw that we said “wait aren’t we doing one in Korea? I think we should have one in Korea too.” 🐶 so they had to quickly find and book a venue in Korea. the problem is that it’s actually really difficult to book concert venues in Korea, especially on short notice. 🐶 bc everything happened so suddenly, there were only a few venue options available. among those options, we felt that it would still be better to hold a concert in Korea first rather than not do one at all, so that was the direction we decided to take. 🐶 at the time, Junkyu and Asahi were the leaders for that project. I told Junkyu, “we have to do one in Korea before we go.” Junkyu agreed. I brought it up with the members. they all agreed too. 🐶 then Junkyu and Asahi passed it along to the company and worked things out with them, and that’s how we ended up holding the concert at Hwajeong Gymnasium. 🐶 there really wasn’t any special reason beyond that. it was simply because the planning had started with the Japan branch first, so that’s how things naturally unfolded. 🐶 the headquarters, Japan branch, and us (TREASURE members) all have our own situations and things we have to consider. so rather than saying one side was right or taking anyone’s side, everyone was simply trying to do what was possible under the circumstances. but if we had explained all of this before the concert, I felt like it would’ve made people upset. 🐶 tbh I think anyone would’ve been disappointed. it doesn’t matter whether you’re a Korean Teume, a Japanese Teume, or somewhere else. anyone could’ve felt hurt over something like this. 🐶 we were already very aware of the feedback from fans. we knew exactly how everyone was feeling. so I kept wondering, “when should I talk about this? when’s the right time?” I just didn’t want there to be any unnecessary misunderstandings between anyone. 🐶 thats why I decided it would be better to explain everything carefully after the concerts were over. and during those three concert days, we wanted to give it everything we had. we felt that was both the respectful thing to do for the fans who came to see us and the best thing we could do as artists. 🐶 everyone also supported us so much throughout the concerts, and thankfully, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all ended on a really good note.
