1. [+615, -10] How happy do you think she is? Made a quick stop in Korea, no rehearsals, sang for an hour and a half, and cashed in 2.5 billion won

2. [+603, -8] Something like this has never happened before ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ arrived to the country two hours before the concert, no time for rehearsal, performed for an hour and a half, and left the country straight after ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+518, -22] B*tch

4. [+68, -0] Imagine how much she bragged after she went back home. "I make millions for performing for an hour without rehearsals and they still love me ><!!! Koreans are idiots!!"

5. [+66, -2] Arrived at Korea at 5, left by 12... basically used the Gocheok Dome as her personal karaoke room and made money off of it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+63, -1] Was Korea just a quick rehearsal stop for her? She really dressed like that on stage? ㅋㅋ

7. [+59, -0] Imagine how easy she took Koreans to treat us like this;;

8. [+58, -0] Her stage outfit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ looks like something you'd wear to go to the supermarket

9. [+46, -1] What is she saying was so beautiful about Seoul when she barely even had any time to look at anything

10. [+40, -1] Didn't she stay in Japan for 5 days? Probably thought Koreans were idiots to be taken advantage of.

1. [+1,097, -12] All the people who paid $650 for VIP tickets for rehearsal + backstage performances and a meet & greet with pictures got none of it. She arrived two hours before the concert so the rehearsal was canceled. The meet & greet was delayed so people who had time for that came out to find that their entrance to the actual concert was delayed. The concert was a mess. Koreans, once again, taken for fools.

2. [+1,018, -9] She literally went on stage without any rehearsals. Didn't check the size of the stage, the quality of the music equipment... she arrived like it was some local festival show, sang a few songs, and left right after. So comparable to how she acted in Japan.

3. [+962, -12] I understand that she has a trauma when it comes to concerts but if it's still affecting her, she should be taking a break until she recovers. It's unfair to half a$$ a concert like this in another country. The fact that she didn't rehearse means that the audience didn't get a completely satisfactory performance. Is she not sorry to the fans who came to see her?

4. [+115, -4] She arrived in Japan 2 days before the concert, attended all the rehearsals, performed in tip top condition... But for Korea, she arrived 3 hours before the concert and went straight in without any rehearsals. Are you serious? Do you think Koreans are fools? And who are the idiots who actually paid for this?

5. [+68, -1] I read a few fan accounts and I understand the outrage, especially the people who paid $650 for their VIp tickets. They have every right to trash the concert hall if they want to for how they were treated.

1. [+6,281, -97] She left right away at midnight... Korea really was a quick pit stop to make money for her...

2. [+5,980, -126] Yeah yeah, all you fans can smile all you want after being taken for fools. Arriving at a country 3 hours before your concert? Are you serious? ㅋㅋ Went up to perform without any rehearsals? ㅋㅋ

3. [+4,162, -113] Sigh, please don't come back until you fix your attitude

4. [+2,606, -56] All those expensive meet & greet tickets were basically pieces of toilet paper

5. [+1,708, -13] She was too busy fooling around in Japan that she arrived late and had to cancel all pre-concert activities, rehearsals... then warmed up in the bathroom, sang for 2 hours, and left right after ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+1,513, -10] As much hate as Britney got for her concert, at least she arrived a day before her concert and performed to her heart's content for the full two hours, trying to speak in Korean, giving fan service, calling fans up to the stage to given spontaneous autographs... Even though the concert was only half filled, fans who did go left feeling satisfied. Ariana's at the peak of her career right now and not doing enough.

7. [+1,492, -16] It's liberation day in Korea and she spent her day lazing around in Japan before coming to Korea at 6, warming up in the bathroom, and then going straight up on stage ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ how much were the tickets again?

8. [+1,266, -14] Seems like she saw Korea as just a quick pit stop after her Japanese concert ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+6,754, -118] Really disappointed with how she treated her Korean fans

2. [+5,575, -115] Yeah, don't come back again

3. [+5,301, -100] I was actually at the concert. Well, technically I had fun listening to her singing live and stuff. Grande looked like she was enjoying herself but it was quite obvious that she wasn't prepared... ㅠ

4. [+4,831, -73] Totally took Koreans for fools. A concert that shows her true colors.

5. [+1,424, -18] To Grande, Korea was just a pit stop after Japan

"I know I should've farted

at least I'm being honest"

didn't write itself

[Morphine Prince 105,813]

Wait, the only issue I see here is the no communication part. 

Besides that who cares how long before she arrived and left. If the show was the same quality as the others the non-rehearsal is irrelevant. 

(Haven't read all the posts yet) 

Edit: I see M&G were cut short. They deserve a refund. 

[Weasel 12,525]

What happened?

how is that even comparable?

[Ricardo 7,819]

I was going to be all 🙄  till I saw the problems with the M&G, **** happens Korean people, get a refund

[gagagoogoose 30,952]

Wait what? She is literally busy embarking on a World Tour. Did they expect her to stay in South Korea and do these?

She was literally doing all of this in Japan in the past few days 

[gagasgrande 3,671]

Half of this isn't even true lmao. One person started saying she didn't do the m&g and then everyone joined. Ariana responded by putting photos of her m&g in Seoul in her instagram story and everyone shut up real quick. They're mad bc she's 20 minutes late dhndndndnd

[Neight Shayde 7,925]

That's a big deal in Korea.

But she has 3 tour dates in Japan (4 days). Next performance after Korea is gonna be in Bangkok on August 17. She has 1 day max to hang out in Korea.

Except she had multiple dates in Japan so she definitely had time to do all of that in Japan, and probably had no intention of staying in Korea for a while to explore

Interesting read....but do they rehearse before every single show? I mean if u been doing a tour for months why would it be half assed even without rehersals? Shes been doing it since like March, if she doesnt know the show yet thats an issue.

Japan is a bigger market though, so of course her label will make her promote in Japan.
