‘This schedule is artist abuse,’ said one K-netizen. ‘Even South American fans are speaking up about it.’ Another pointed out that traveling to all those cities within Latin America would be grueling due to pressure differences, not to mention the long flight times.
Looking at the world tour schedule just announced and the previously announced Latin America festival schedule, they have to go back and forth between Japan and Latin America twice.
K-Netizens are calling out Stray Kids’ management for prioritizing profits over their artists’ well-being. ‘This isn’t just a simple back-and-forth trip. Even within Latin America, traveling to all those cities is grueling,’ said another netizen.
With the world tour and festival dates overlapping, fans are worried that the members will not have enough time to rest between shows. The strain on their physical and mental health could lead to burnout and decreased performance quality.
The Stray Kids’ management team has yet to respond to the concerns raised by fans. However, it is clear that something needs to be done to ensure the well-being of the members.
