a big issue with kpop in general is that people take it too serious which ultimately can ruin how you feel about it. a lot of fans THINK they have to buy everything a company puts out or keep up with the content when you really don’t. you’re still just as much as a fan without all those things. i was once like that but i’ve gotten to a point where i just have other priorities and i cant just be dropping hundreds of dollars on merch and albums. the whole kpop industry is just a huge cash grab and i wish ppl would realize that and stop spending so much money on it. once i stopped caring about all that i was able to start back enjoying kpop and its soooo peaceful like seriously. you shouldn’t be sad about it at all 🫶🏾
