fans and antis alike have doomposted about offgun so much, since forever, that it's hard to take seriously. gmmtv has always been a poorly run company, and if gun was gonna ditch the ship or the company he would've done it ages ago. both o and g have a longtime attachment to gmmtv, for better or worse. it's also probably the easiest place for them to stay consistently employed. of course, one day they'll start winding down the ship, but we still have the trainee AND now a babii concert in april!!! so i rly don't see the point in doomposting about their partnership at least for this year, lmao.
yeah I mean I hope people didn't see my reply to this ask as me doomposting tho lol, bc even tho I do have a platform with followers I'm also literally just an offgun fan & also get doubts & fears like everyone else 😅 the babii concert has me GAGGED, that's what I've been waiting all along I'm so fucking happy!!! however I never said I believed offgun were gonna break up this year, but I was more so thinking about the years forward as I said I want them to at least reach their 10th anniversary bc it'd be BEYOND iconic in an industry where bl ships drop like flies every day. so yeah, not doomposting, just voicing my worries & responding to an ask that was even more worried than I was. I understand not wanting to read negative shit about a ship you love, but this is literally the only ask on this topic I've ever received & answered. don't worry my regular content will never become about offgun separating... until they separate lmao. but yeah the concert is giving me some hope, it compensates the lack of cooking crush final ep fanmeet a liiiiittle bit lol

Babii v Polca
I want to first start this off by prefacing: I’m a babii first, Tay fan second. So, clearly I have a bias. Take what I say with a grain of salt. But the Babii 24/7 concert blew the Polca Time Traveling concert out of the water.
Stats at a glance. OffGun’s concert lasted 2.5 hours and their group performed 22 songs. TayNew’s lasted a little past 3 hours and they did 25. OffGun had 13 songs they performed together (just them), and each had a solo song. TayNew had 12 songs they performed together (just them), and also each had a solo song. OffGun had 9 different outfits, TayNew had 7. OffGun had 8 guests: Neo, Aungpao, Fourth, and the five members of Lykn. TayNew had 7: Gemini, Ford, Mook, Sing, Janhae, Junior, and Mark. Neither concert’s tickets sold out at the venue, but I want to say OffGun had about 20ish tickets left, and TayNew had 12. They both sold out of their plushie keychain at the venue.
Now onto my analysis. These concerts can easily be broken into three different moments. It’s usually a song, or a transitional phase with music or a fun video clip, followed by chatter to allow for change in set designs and costumes. After watching TayNew’s concert, I am almost positive they had more chatter than OffGun’s. I went back through my recordings of both concerts and these are my findings.
When I timed “chatter” I specifically only counted moments when there was no music. I did not include the fan videos at the end of their shows within that time, but I did count the talking to the audience afterwards. I usually don’t mind chatter but when subtitles are so delayed or inaccurate during a live performance, I tend to lose interest. So for me personally, it can affect how I view the concert flow.
OffGun had about ~52 minutes of chatter. Of that, there was ~12 minutes dedicated to their OffGun Fun Night segment. Which, if you understand the premise of their show…that’s the whole point. They host a talk show. There’s supposed to be chatter. But to try and be more fair, I did include those 12 minutes in my total time.
TayNew had ~68 minutes of chatter. The difference between their chatter and that of OffGun’s seemed significantly noticeable to me. Perhaps it was because most of the chatter involved was on a blank stage with a wide cast. TayNew got lost in the group for me at times. Whereas OffGun’s longest chatter segment (the OGFN part) was hosted on a bed with Fourth. So it made it more fun and interesting for me.
Which, the bed. This brings me to another point. I feel like OffGun had more time to come up with the concept of their show. They utilized props more. The idea of a convenience store for the 24/7 theme was brilliant. Their hosting of a “ribbon cutting” scene in front of their store to begin their concert was perfect. Then having a shelf with products they could flirt against was a nice touch. I’m trying to remember what outside props TayNew had and can only come up with the Polcasan robot thing, a few chairs, and a picnic bench. It seemed like OffGun gave more consideration to their theme and stuck with it. There were even three songs within their set list that had 24/7 in their lyrics, further bringing up the concert's title.
So, all in all, I’m giving this one to OffGun guys. The concert flow was tight, the songs coincided with their theme, their outfits were above and beyond, props too. I also loved that for their closing song they jumped down from the stage and walked through the audience to sing. To me this added another personal touch and really showed how much they love and appreciate babiis.
Yes, I’m biased. But there’s a reason for it. I think OffGun are creative geniuses and their concert proved that.
Will I rewatch TayNew’s concert? No.
Will I rewatch OffGun’s? Honey, it’s been seven days and I’ve seen it three times already. We already know the answer there.
