hay to all filo k-pop stans out there, i hope you guys are watching the senate and impeachment trials as much as you watch your faves. tignan n’yo kung paano tayo tinatrato ng mga binoboto at iniluluklok natin sa puwesto.
everything is political, kahit sa k-pop. hindi lang ito tungkol sa idols or fanwars. politics affects our education, trabaho, healthcare, rights, at kinabukasan. you can stream your faves and still stay informed at the same time.
and don’t even start with, “eh kung walang concert dito ng faves ko, edi pupunta ako ng ibang bansa.” that’s not even the point. not everyone has the privilege to fly abroad, and people shouldn’t have to leave the country just to access opportunities or experiences. if artists and events keep skipping the philippines, maybe ask why. look at the bigger picture instead of brushing it off.
artists and tour organizers don’t just randomly skip countries. there are many factors they consider—taxes, logistics, venue availability, infrastructure, security, regulations, market conditions, and the overall business environment. government policies can influence those conditions, even if they’re not the only reason. so instead of acting like it’s completely unrelated to politics, maybe look at the bigger picture.
support your idols, but don’t stop paying attention to what’s happening in our country. being a k-pop stan and being politically aware can coexist. hold those in power accountable.
the thing that makes me mad is that heeseung can go around talking about his debut and his new identity, without getting asked to talk about his past, but enhypen has to stay stuck in the past, they have to acknowledge it, they have to remember
@sahanachettrii@kngyzas GIIIRRRLLL it’s so obvious. calling himself a rookie while he had 6 years of experience of being an idol. calling his solo his FIRST debut. isn’t it obvious? he’s clearly erasing his history with enhypen :)
i love heeseung as much as the next guy but bro is not even in the same hemisphere as enha rn why are ppl chanting his name? he’s a whole solo artist with his own music now at some point i think it’s time to move on
imagine enhypen had to learn new formations and had to go through re-distributions but you as a fan couldn’t do the simplest and the most basic thing in which chanting the right fanchant. 🥴
If you wanted Heeseung back, shouldn't the protests have happened at HIS SOLO EVENTS?
Why would you bring the protest to the 6 who had no choice in his own decision omg
@sahanachettrii@kngyzas how can you be so sure that the members liked it? are you enhypen 😂 shouting the ot6 fanchant is not disregarding heeseung but rather, supporting and respecting those SIX members who CHOSE to STAY and carry the name ENHYPEN
I'll repeat, EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL!!!
K-pop is skipping Manila because of heavy taxes. The PH charges up to a 10%–30% local amusement tax on foreign concerts (vs. just 7% VAT in Thailand). It spikes ticket prices and makes tours too risky for promoters.
