Seventeen expressed their dissatisfaction to the company, saying, "In other countries, we tour from city to city, but why are concerts in Korea only held in Seoul? Even if it's tough for us, we'll do it."
The company said that there were too many restrictions in local areas...

-We only think about the venue, but we should also consider security personnel, operations staff, traffic control, facilities, etc... All these things should be taken into account... Those who complains should watch this video.
-It's probably restrictions from the agenciesㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn't the biggest problem that there aren't many venues in the provinces that can accommodate the scale of Seventeen's concert?
-It's not about rental costs; it's about the difficulty of managing transportation and safety personnel. Even when BTS had a concert in Busan, there were significant problems with safety and operations, as the audience couldn't all enter the venue after the concert started. They must be talking from experience.
-Thinking about BTS's Busan concert... Well, not doing it might be the answer.
-Even when BTS held a concert in Busan, there were significant problems with safety and operations. The concert started, but not all the audience could enter.
-Idols have young fans and international fans, so we should also consider accommodation and transportation issues...
-In the provinces, rather than venue rental, the issue lies with having quality staff for performances who all need to come from Seoul, and even the LED screens and lighting need to be brought down from Seoul. That's difficult. Well, maybe it's fine if it's a top-tier singer, but usually, even the staff prefer to handle performances in Seoul and don't go to the provinces much. Also, safety is a big issue with idol concerts due to the young age group. Ensuring a safe return home for everyone after the performance requires cooperation not only from the company but the entire city. Making sure that young fans in their teens and twenties can safely return home or find accommodation is a huge task.
-It's not just the issue of the venue; transportation and accommodation are significant issues. Just looking at Gwangju, where I live, the subway doesn't connect to the World Cup Stadium, and there are no buses after 11 p.m. It's not even a remote area. Plus, there's hardly any accommodation available. There are almost no hotels in Gwangju, and the motels are far from the stadium, and they're usually in areas with nightclubs, so there are also safety issues.
-I attended an event by a Trot singer in my neighborhood a few years ago, and the event organization was a mess. There's a big difference between places with experience hosting events and those without. Among all the places I've been to, I've never seen such a mess. After experiencing that, I realized that there must be some practical issues.
-If they want to, they can do it.
-If you think about it simply, if tens of thousands of people suddenly rush in, accidents can happen.
-Except for Busan, all other metropolitan cities lack accommodations. There aren't many hotels worth staying in even in Daegu, where I live. You might as well say there's none around.
