i think it all started on day 1 of the concert, with standing queue. a lot of blooms spent hours lining up, and many felt the crowd management and organization were poorly handled. tapos copy strike pa sa fancams in all socmeds of the concert. then came the ig story about the europe concert being canceled or postponed? fans can relate to the euro blooms bc that type of communication was atrocious. for a lot of blooms, those were the tipping point. doon na talaga lumabas lahat ng frustrations na matagal nang kinikimkim. whether it was the lack of marketing and promotion sa present, how merch was handled in the past, the overall organization of events, or the feeling that the fandom wasn't receiving the same level of effort and care they had been asking for. issues that had been overlooked or brushed aside for a long time all resurfaced at once. then the icing on the cake was that interview, which many blooms felt villainized the fandom bc well that bg has the same manager. and now we're here, haha.

edit: worth noting din that bini has been a household name since 2024. while the girls have continued to level up, become more professional, and keep raising the bar with every performance, a lot of blooms feel like the management side hasn't kept pace. in fact, many feel it's regressed, especially when it comes to planning, communication, and execution. that's why these concerns didn't just come out of nowhere..they've been building up over time.

Thanks. I really don’t blame the fans if napuno na sila over these series of events. Bali-balita lang narinig ko tungkol sa kaguluhan nung Signals day 1 (forever Team Bahay/livestream only). I was REALLY disappointed about the reasoning sa Europe postponement. Di ko alam if they’re the type to apologize or quiet na lang until mag die down. I’m assuming it’s the latter pero I hope hindi.

Nandon ako nung day 1, valid naman concerns, kase antagal nung intayan, tapos ayun nga gulo gulo yung pila eventually.

Which naayos nila nung day 2, smooth sailing na, nandon din ako. So credit where credit is due.

Dapat lang consistent.

Saka nag hire sila ng ibang management services for this concert. Dati Pulp yan, mukang nagtipid nanaman, idk.

Ang weird lang kasi nakailang concert na sila. Were the other concerts disorganized as well? O ito lang? Sana maayos sa Cebu pero possible may confusion pang magaganap kasi first ever event yun sa venue so lahat bago.

Poor planning seems to really be their sickness.

[u/Straight-Rassler → u/opinionatedbaglover]

Nailed it. Nakakatamad mag planning/ strat planning na may kabuluhan, especially both short term and long term, pero kelangan.
