i understand now why so many office workers are kpop fans. you really need this type of whimsy in ur life when ure sat down for 8 hours inside a concrete room staring at a google sheet
i love concerts because no matter how shitty your life is at the moment, everything just seems to make sense in those couple of hours and you feel so alive and happy and there's so much adrenaline and happiness and all your problems just kinda fade away for a little bit.
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.
