A Father's Honest Review: What Made and Missed the Mark at BINI’s Dubai Concert

When a parent brings their child to see their favorite artist live for the first time, it’s not just a concert, it becomes a memory they hope their child will cherish forever. That was exactly the case for one Filipino father in Dubai, who recently took his daughter to watch the phenomenal P-pop girl group BINI live in concert.

The fan, known online as Boy Dubai, shared a heartfelt letter to the event organizers. His message wasn’t meant to criticize harshly but to give thoughtful and constructive feedback about their overall experience, and it’s something worth talking about, especially for fans and future organizers alike.

For many fans, finally seeing BINI perform in person is a dream come true. This concert was particularly special for Boy Dubai's daughter, a huge BINI fan. The family purchased tickets in the Gold section, expecting a good view and an unforgettable night. They were looking forward not just to the music and choreography, but to seeing the girls' expressions, hearing their voices clearly, and feeling the energy that only a live show can give.

BINI did not disappoint on their end. The girls were professional, energetic, and deeply engaged with the crowd. One standout moment that touched the audience was when Aiah, despite experiencing cramps, pushed through and continued performing like a true pro. That level of dedication did not go unnoticed. It's clear that the girls gave it their all.

While the performance itself was solid, one major issue stood out, the absence of large screens at the venue. For many attendees seated further from the stage, especially younger fans or those who are shorter, it was difficult to see the action clearly.

In most concerts of this scale, LED screens are standard. They help bring fans closer to the experience by showing facial expressions, fan interactions, and those magical, up-close moments that make live events unforgettable. For this show, however, there were no big screens in sight, which left many feeling disconnected from what was happening on stage.

It’s a small but significant detail. The crowd interaction was there, the fan service was genuine, and BINI tried their best to connect with every part of the audience, but without screens, that connection was lost for some.

What stands out in Boy Dubai's letter is the tone, respectful, supportive, and full of admiration for BINI. The question wasn’t “Why didn’t you do better?” but more like, “Is this something you can improve on in the future?” It’s a gentle nudge for organizers to consider the full fan experience, especially for big groups like BINI, who are clearly rising stars and already attracting international audiences.

Here’s the full feedback from Boy Dubai:

A SINCERE FEEDBACK ABOUT BINI CONCERT IN DUBAI 

Dear BINI Organizers, 

We brought our daughter to your concert last night to finally see, for the first time, an artist she is truly a huge fan of. It was a special moment that meant a lot to her. 

We bought seats in the Gold section, knowing she would still enjoy the performance, especially with big screens that usually help audiences see close-up moments on stage from a distance. To our surprise, there were no large screens at all. For an event of this scale, this felt unusual. Most concerts in similar venues use screens to help everyone stay connected with what is happening on stage. This was especially felt last night where the girls talked a lot with the audience, something that delights fans. BINI made great efforts to engage the crowd, including those at the back. But without screens, many, especially the little or shorter fans, missed out on the facial expressions and emotional connection that make a concert very memorable. 

To be clear, I have nothing but praise for BINI. Hats off to the group for their professionalism and energy, especially when Aiah came back and continued performing despite having cramps. We are truly proud of them. Truly world-class talents! Forgive my ignorance, but I ask this with respect: Was the absence of screens an intentional decision? And is this standard practice for concerts of this size? 

We appreciate all the work that goes into putting together events like this. Our hope is that this feedback helps create an even better experience for all fans in the future. Sincerely, Boy Dubai, Father of a Bloom
