I don't think so.
All of them were cool and well thought items. If I could I would love to buy them all, but I wish the prices were a bit less. I mean I can understand putting a price like $150 on hoodies (still expensive but most artist clothing merch are at same price).
But I can't imagine spending like $150 on a small bluetooth speaker + lamp. These aren't manufactured by renowned electronic brands like Apple or Samsung (people mostly go branded ones bc of quality even though other brands sell for a much less price). I mean even Samsung, the biggest electronics brand in Korea won't sell this mood lamp for such a ridiculous price.
They most likely manufactured this from China, where electronics are extremely cheap in cost (this lamp would cost less than $20 in China). Again the shipping cost is added separately, so the rest $130 goes to profits?
And this is only Jungkook's merch. I'm not even bringing up other member's collection items here.
How will HYBE stans justify this price saying how is all for the company's labourers? I mean HYBE had most likely asked a third party to manufacture these items (HYBE doesn't own any manufacturing unit), so most of the cost of producing these items is spent on with paying the third party manufacturers.
See I know they wanna make huge cash from this BTS collection, but seeing company stans defend the label and saying the price is justified just boils me inside. It's like they're speaking from privilege and us middle-lower classed fans can never complain that we can't afford it. screams "boo hoo, it's you're fault you're poor" kinda energy.
I'm sorry for the rant but I wanted to get this off my chest.
