every fan should care abt politics. have u noticed how some tours skip the ph. tix prices keep getting more expensive, and even the perks and benefits given to fans can feel unfai. a lot of these issues trace back to the government and the poor way our tax money is being handled.
if you think you are not being affected.... just look at how other kpop groups do not include philippines in their tours 🥲
most likely, they see our country at a very critical state bc of high taxes and our unstable political climate
it affects demand as well! inflation makes everything expensive, low purchasing power, people won't have money to spend on tickets = demand goes low = they won't see our country profitable anymore = no tours
