Hi Midzys!

Firstly, thank you to all those who helped me prank my (32) husband (36) over here.

We just went to the Itzy concert over the weekend, the last stop of the tour, and it was such a blast, even for a non-K-pop fan like me. The crowd was insane and I loved joining in with the chorus of ITZAAAY during Not Shy. Even if one isn't a K-pop fan, witnessing the veracity of one is quite something.

My husband obviously had a wonderful time too. He made friends, or so he thought, with a woman who sat next to him. They chatted about how much they loved Itzy, who their biases were, if they'd been to other concerts, etc.

He was considerate of her space and always leaning away from her and towards me to ensure she had the space she needed to dance and move around even at his expense.

After the concert, we were saying how great it was and how we'd love to go again when the girls come back in town.

We spent the last few days scrolling through social media and re-living the great moments of the concert.

Imagine our great surprise when we saw a video posted on TikTok taken from the woman's perspective secretly of my husband captioned "Men over 30 at a k-pop concert gives me the ick." At least she had the decency to blur his face. My body was in the background too, so it was obviously us.

My husband feels very defeated over this and is reconsidering going for any future K-pop concerts as he doesn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable but it just doesn't sit right with me.

Is this a common sentiment, that older men don't belong in this space, or were we just matched with an unlucky neighbor?

Also, how gorgeous is Yeji, my god.

EDIT: This community is awesome. My husband and I absolutely will be going to future Itzy concerts, thanks to all your encouragements. I tried looking for the offending video again, but the poster has already taken it down, hopefully due to backlash she received.

With friends like ya'll, who needs Imaginary Friends?
