if you don’t mind can you talk more about the concert etiquette and culture for kr concerts especially if you’re in vip seated? will you get side-eyed by people if you sing along to the songs, are the people in seated as pushy about interactions, etc

ooh okay i love this qn!! i will talk about the stuff that sticks out to me the most from the past 2 seoul cons last year
so personally i am someone who freely screams and sings along to songs (like the entire song...) especially when matthew comes on screen LMAO i didn't feel side eyed at all on any day (ofc i tried to only scream at appropriate moments e.g. when something crazy happens, and i def don't scream when the members are talking or if it's a quiet moment) but i do feel a bit of disparity in level of noise we make bc the fans around me were all quite calm and chill like they didn't scream or sing, most of them just waved their lightstick which is like fair enough ofc! i only rmb a few jfans sitting on my left before who would keep squealing when their biases appeared on screen and also during backpacker day at fancon the gpd next to me screamed with me throughout the perf HAHAH but when it comes to singalong events you can def hear ppl singing along throughout the venue (not really the ppl next to me tho) unless its the rap parts (i was fr the only person rapping matthew's drdr rap during the fancon singalong) i don't think ppl are super pushy for interactions when they're seated, besides during the carts bc omg ppl are fucking insane, they would run out of their seats and literally climb over empty ones and flood the aisles just to get closer to zb1 even tho the staff was blocking them and trying to get them to go back, but there's honestly no point doing that bc the staff will just block your view of zb1, it's just annoying when those ppl do it near you and then you get implicated in the process even tho you didn't do anything wrong (i almost got blocked from seeing zb1 during seoul con d1 bc ppl tried climbing into my row which was the last row and the staff kept coming over to force them to go back,,,) i think for standing the interaction farming will be the worse as we can see from the prev tour stops... its gonna be a sea of sketchbooks, especially since there isn't bag check for seoul concerts so you can literally bring big bags filled with anything inside the venue...
