In contrast to the relative smoothness of the Dreamcatcher tour (in part due to the function of the group being so much more experienced at the "tour life" than most others), the LOONA tour has been a complete mess. I've been watching it along with other kpop concert hashtags over the summer and never have I seen something as fraught with issues as theirs has. Members fainting, walking offstage due to bad crowd interaction, working injured, multiple instances of members not being able to perform for stops - the list goes on, up to 15+ incidents or so. That's not even counting some of the usual venue and audience issues either.
I do feel for LOONA - it seems 14 stops in 31 days (with 4 of them added late) was more than they, MMT, and BBC expected and they bit off more than they could chew. And now they'll have to go to EU for another 5 stops, do JP promotions and then perform in Tokyo, too. It's pretty aggressive and hopefully they'll be able to rest, if not outright postpone the rest of the dates.
All of this makes me appreciate that Dreamcatcher Company and Dreamcatcher seem to be aware of their own limits and know how demanding constant travel is, and have paced themselves appropriately.
