items I’ve put together a list of essentials for a K-pop concert. The most important thing is comfort, even if you're dressing up, since waiting in line or sitting for long periods requires it. I also recommend not bringing too much, especially if you'll b...

Make sure you have extra storage on your phone so you can capture all the photos and videos you want during the concert!

Many venues have bag size restrictions, so check the rules beforehand. Also, make sure you can fit everything you need in your bag, and that it's not too bulky or uncomfortable during the concert.

Always carry your ID for identification and bring a card and cash just in case. However, I recommend not carrying too many cards (like your library card, cinema card, etc.)—just the ones you'll need to keep your bag light.
Wallet and ID
These are especially useful if you’ve been waiting in line for a long time. Hand sanitizer keeps your hands clean after touching surfaces, and tissues are perfect for spills, wiping away sweat, or even happy tears during the concert!
Hand Sanitizer and Tissues
Perfect for boosting energy, staying fresh, or having something to eat if you didn’t get a full meal before heading to the concert. Long waits in line can be tough, and venues might not have food options—or they could be expensive—so it’s always a go...
Snacks: Granola Bars, Candy, Gum, Nuts...
Ideal for anyone with long hair! Keep your hair out of your face during the concert so you can fully enjoy the show. A soft cotton scrunchie is gentle on your hair and comfortable to wear for hours.
Cotton Scrunchies
Bring a small foldable umbrella, just in case it rains while you’re waiting in line or if it’s sunny. For sunny weather, consider one with UV protection. Make sure to check the venue's rules to ensure you can bring it inside afterward!
Compact Umbrella
Bring any essential medications in a small, portable pill organizer to save space in your bag. Band-Aids are also handy for blisters or minor cuts—especially after hours of standing in line!
Medications and Band-Aids
Make sure to pack sunscreen, even on cloudy days. UV rays can still reach your skin, so it's important to protect yourself while waiting in line or enjoying the concert outdoors.
Sunscreen
If the venue allows it, bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. It’s an eco-friendly option and helps you avoid expensive bottled water at the venue.
