Filipino P-pop girl group BINI recently held a concert in Dubai as part of their world tour, but the event quickly became the subject of criticism from fans and attendees who felt the experience did not meet their expectations.
Many fans, known as Blooms, voiced their dissatisfaction on social media, saying the concert’s production quality didn’t justify the ticket prices they paid after eagerly anticipating the show for months. Even parents expressed disappointment over their children’s experience.
Some went as far as comparing the concert to a “mall show,” pointing out the lack of a “wow factor” in the stage setup and overall production. Here are some of the comments shared by concertgoers:
“Nakakasad na wala man lang big screen sa presyong di abot kaya. Tapos puro…. wag nalang nga. Ang importanti nag enjoy yung nasa malapit [emoji],” said one netizen.
Another shared, “Feedback from the Concert.. medjo Disappointed tayo.. very light lang nman.. hindi sa BINI kundi sa Production Team nila dito sa UAE.”
One attendee added, “Galing ng girls! Pero rinig na rinig din ang pagrereklamo ng asawa ko dahil walang LED sa gilid at hindi namin makita ang faces ng girls! Zoom na lang talaga ng phone. Bakit bakit walang LED sa sides huhu Pero galing ng girls as in.”
Several fans also lamented the limited number of songs performed, noting there were no solo or duo performances from the eight-member group.
Even talent manager and showbiz insider Ogie Diaz discussed the controversy on his online show “Showbiz Update.” He emphasized that the blame should not fall on BINI but rather on the production team or organizers responsible for the Dubai concert.
He stated, “May nag-comment nga dyan na dapat conscious na ang management sa kung ano ang kalalabasan ng kanilang alaga para hindi ito nagre-reflect sa mga bata.
“Next time maging conscious na ang Star Magic siguro na dapat inaalam nila ano ba ang ayos ng stage. Akala ng grupo ng BINI ay bonggang stage design. Ang ending parang wala na silang choice, nandito na. Perform na lang. Hindi na sila pwedeng mag-backout.”
As of now, neither BINI nor their management, Star Magic, has issued a statement regarding the concerns raised about the Dubai concert.
