K-Pop Radar, Online Survey of 1,001 People… 70% “Stressed by Random Poker”

A survey found that K-pop fans complained of overspending and stress due to competition for first-week album sales (first week sales) and the photocard sales that fuel this competition.

When asked, “Have you ever felt that the competition for the first release is excessive?” 63.3% of light fans and 74.4% of core fans answered “yes.” Also, when asked, “Do you think that the fandom is spending excessively for the first release?” 63.3% of light fans and 74.4% of core fans answered “yes.” 66.9% of fans and 71.6% of core fans responded 'yes'.

In particular, 70.2% of K-pop core fans answered 'yes' to the question 'Have you ever been stressed by random photocard methods such as unreleased photocards and lucky draws by record labels?', and 77.0% answered 'yes' to this question. I agree with the view that the same method was created in the process of increasing the initial reaction.

62.5% of light fans and 76.2% of core fans expressed positive perceptions when asked, “Do you think that companies sometimes use unfair methods to increase their initial impressions?”

I wish the initial competition would stopㅜㅜㅋㅋ

Honestly, the fans too

I know it's a ridiculous number🥲
