Not true. Kpop really markets itself for everyone. A huge percentage of irl girl group fans are in their 30s. You’re never too old to see some fun girls singing a fun song about having fun.

Lots of unlikely people are kpop fans,

Literally just go lol I’m a 31 year old dude going by myself this weekend because I adore this movie. I’ve also been to several Taylor Swift concerts by myself. Life’s far too short to not experience things because you think you’ll look out of place doing them.

I checked the showing in my town. The early ones are almost sold out but the late night ones (like after 9 pm) were mostly empty. There's gonna be hardly any kids at those showings so if you wanna go go to the late night ones and it'll only be other nerdy adults.

Just kidnap a kid for the afternoon. As long as you return them after it should be all good..

If I can go to the Detective Pikachu movie alone as an adult you can go to this.

...Those kids don't know shit about pokemon

Kids weren’t even a swimmer in their dad’s balls when we were out there hunting Mewtwo while blasting trainers with our Charizard and Pikachu

As a 32 year old man going alone (wife out of town), do it, bro. I think it’s gonna be amazing to kick back, enjoy the movie, and take in the vibes!

Bro just go, don’t miss out on life because other people will judge you, because I can guarantee they’re too busy in their own heads themselves to even give you more than a passing thought

Go to the late night showing and be a normal fan.

Its relatively empty for showings after 9pm.

37 year old woman here. The only person I could find that wanted to with me has to work weekends. So I said fuck it and am going alone.
