the age old question remain why is this dude good at everything, every damn merch he designs is SO PEAK, has he considered starting a line or something
gunil experienced FIRST HAND what its like to be an immigrant, everything he talks about here carries a lot of weight and honest to god truth and yet bro STILL lost💀im glad he said all this shit on television, and i hope people start to eduacte themselves more 😭
The Japanese government shared a video promoting international tourism to Fukui Prefecture, which is well-known domestically for its dinosaur fossils and museum, but is not famous abroad.
They are hoping that foreign dinosaur lovers will visit.
too many of them have injuries which never healed or got proper treatment... chris w his breathing, felix's back, bin's hand, seungmin and minho's ankles.... they need a long break, not just for their mental wellbeing but physical too
I love how someone earlier said that membership should have come with an SKZ OT8 Bubble groupchat.
You know what? It did.
Gen 3 literally did come with an OT8 groupchat. Gen 3 also came with A PHYSICAL REPLAY ALBUM. And it cost 35k won for it. 🤷♀️
💛: Oh, we meet again.
🦊: Yeah, I’m seriously exhausted.
💛: When I first saw the fansign schedule, I was honestly shocked.
💛: Who schedules you to work the moment you land?
💛: That’s really unreasonable.
🦊: But you still bought it~
Renjun-ah 😭😭😅
A super creative group like SKZ is stuck with a boring, lazy division. They have no desire to explore the world of music, fashion, or anything. minimal effort
sound resolution could’ve been:
— make the kit $0 since people are paying $34 alr, plush remains add on
— reduce price of digital membership to justify separate purchase of the kit
but no. you just have to piss us more while still overcharging us 😭
"div1 isn't sabotaging skz thats not a thing!!!" they literally headlined a concert/festival, hyune was at pfw and they had japanese events but the biggest publicity they had this week was div1 mismanagement and the fuckup with the prices... if that isn't sabotage idk what is
"it's not my fault you can't afford it"
1. you're a bitch
2. i easily can afford it MY money isn't the point it's the point of the entire fandom and how that company is using us for money
3. skz wouldn't like you
i genuinely don’t understand how so many people are still missing the point entirely. this isn’t about whether you can afford it, whether i can afford it, tbh affordability on an individual level is irrelevant here
the membership is symbolically important because it controls access to specific opportunities and interactions. not fandom itself, but applications for events, pre-listening parties, and direct interaction with the members through the app. for fans who can’t afford vip tickets or multiple concerts, that space is often the only realistic way to feel seen or acknowledged. it’s a way to connect with the members that promotes a sense of belonging.
and that kind of access shouldn’t be treated like a luxury upsell. the barrier to it should stay as low as possible so fans from different backgrounds have a fair shot at participating, especially when for kstays you can’t even apply for events without a membership.
accepting a 50%+ price increase on something this foundational isn’t neutral!! it signals that it’s fine to push basic access mechanisms behind a higher paywall. once that happens, it sets a precedent, and the costs don’t stop there.
that should worry anyone who cares about the long-term health of the fandom. you can only push so much without getting pushback, and fans are rightfully getting tired. this isn’t the fault of skz, but ultimately they’ll suffer the consequences…
