my nugu city isn't so nugu anymore

yesterday I was shopping as usual and passed by a very interesting little store that sells kpop albums and other goods that recently opened up

now I'm sure there are others in my city but I wasn't actively searching for them...

It was also the first time that I've seen a kpop album/merch in person (I'm not a very good fan)

for reference purposes I didn't stay long since I was with my son

BP lightstick - $130

Twice lightstick - $145

Ateez Album - $55

NJ album - $65

NJ 2024 seasons greetings - $99

(all prices are in AUD)

$145 for a light stick is so crazy, in CAD most K-pop light sticks are $60. Also $65 for an album, that's crazy as well, the most I've ever spent for an album was $45.

down under prices to my nugu city I guess

That sounds like a cool discovery! Even if you didn’t stay long, just spotting real K-pop merch in person must’ve felt exciting—especially with those prices. Maybe next time, solo visit?

with two young kids?? hmmm...

bichi I'm NOT going solo lol
