Why cant the Kpop companies make their own album "dumpster"?

Sounds like sajaegi but with some extra steps

That would be admitting that bulk buying is a problem and they're the ones responsible for it. It's also admitting their product is trash. It's bad publicity.

Quote from Yumeku

better than dumping it on poor kids taking away their opportunity for real donations because their shelves are filled with useless albums thinking they're doing them a favor. IDK they can make it as a second-hand sale or something and as for charts they just can make a different category for it if it's about achievements rights.

I think it would be illegal for companies to do that. Donating albums for the sake of discarding them is a huge problem. The fans should resell them or actually donate it to fans who are unable to buy them.

like someone said above it becomes an image problem...

the shelters and donees of such albums should come out and shame the companies (not idols)companies whose albums are being donated and call them out for it...

It’s the fans who do it, why would companies bear this burden? And these fans are constantly shamed but nothing changes

i dunno the companies might accept responsibility for their return/reuse/recycle maybe?

That’s their bread and butter I doubt these companies will acknowledge that. Unless the Govt steps in to make rules for wastage and stuff

i agree but i'm not sure you know or remember what happened to ywy3 and the milk/youghart voting fiasco... but the chinese government stepping in pretty fast and put an end to that but that might be overboard...

essentially the problem is that the companies are selling a product that contains only certain things that a fan wants... photocards and not the rest so if the donees of the bulk albums create an issue for the companies then rather than have their image ruined they might do something otherwise the gov might get involved

again this is all hypothetical of course

If they wanted to solve the problem they could, but they don't want to. It's not hard.

They could still put a disclaimer in the cd’s for buyers to dump them at their location - and reap the benefits (and maybe resell them)

Sorted!

Yeah, the government doing something is the best scenario but this is worse publicity for these companies than them taking responsibilities (+benifiting from it). Can't these ent companies all gather and agree on doing the same like when they usually implement something new? kmca for example. Just wondering...

but the only way they will do something is if there is enough pressure from the orphanages or other donees of the albums enough so that there is mounting public pressure that results in the gov (either making a comment or even threatening) to create a law...
