The millionaire CEO who stole a hat from a child at the US Open is, ultimately, indicative of the whole ruling class.
This is what we’re up against, a small number of people and a system that will gladly and unapologetically steal from children and from all of us.

Costs of concerts & 5 stops/tour ultimately hurts the overall consumption of kpop in the US.
This year in particular, the companies MAINLY HYBE, have packed all their major touring artists into three months. US consumers can’t afford that, even if they live in the cities the groups visit.

Four in 10 K-pop fans in the United States spend more than $100 annually on K-pop CDs, according to a recent survey by #Billboard. Despite the heavy spending, however, fewer than half the fans have ever been to a K-pop concert.
