tbh,,,, hindi rin naman kasi same yung perks na nakukuha natin kapag may concert/event dito unlike sa west :^) which is weird kasi ever since sea naman talaga isa sa pinakamalaking audience ng kpop pero we don't get the same treatment
At least fans in Japan, Taiwan, HK, and China get to experience fansign events, but in SEA, we only often get concerts with bare minimum perks. Kung meron man send-off perks aside sa usual soundcheck, super different naman sa send-off sa West kaya nakakasama talaga ng loob eh.
Predicted this back in 2023.
With the rise of these countries own artists and industries. K pop is losing its footing in a dedicated market that has supported them for years.
