are you fucking serious? if your kid threatens to jump off a building bc you won’t buy them some toy costing a whole house, you’ve failed as a parent. don’t divert the blame to others for your own failings lol take some accountability for once good god this is absurd.
you’ve always had some very deplorable takes on this website but this is a new level of dumb
Bullying is a serious issue in South Korea. Simplifying down to them just wanting to jump off because mommy said no it’s dumb asf also. I doubt it’s the parents causing such a strong emotional reaction they want to fucking die. Its the children there age mocking and bullying anyone that doesn’t have these luxury goods.
The article even quotes:
“Appearance and financial success can resonate more with consumers in South Korea than in most other countries,” analysts wrote in the report. Showcasing the reason behind why they are buying these bags stem from wanting to conform to the collective value they hold. That’s a cultural issue not solely parents fault.

It’s actually an amazing financial strategy to promote New Jeans with luxury brands. Since, we already know SK is the top consumer of luxury brands.
I feel bad for any teen or young person growing up with the beast known as social media. I would just say don’t compare yourself! Yet, a logical response can’t solve an emotional problem.

Twice were the most streamed kpop girl group in the US last year, have accumulated 5 billion streams (supposedly, side eyeing all stream stats ever) in 2 years, every album outsells the last sometimes by literally 50k, they are playing stadiums, over one million people applied to tickets to their Japanese tour, were only beaten by Taylor and Beyonce last year in terms of female acts with pure sales in the US.
Ride or dying for twice all the way. A few comments don’t mean shit!!

Feel Special was their first official chart "flop". It didn't actually flop, but it was their first comeback single since LOA to not spend a full week in Melon's top ten. Feel Special was treated as if it was a huge blunder (despite still doing well lol) because the Korean GP wasn't as interested in it. Koreans had already decided by 2019 that Twice had to have a certain look or sound and if they didn't, they weren't going to be interested in them.
Twice got older, they moved their music forward and away from what made them popular in Korea, it is what it is. In fact, I'm personally very glad for it because Fancy onwards as eras needed to happen. I can only see Twice being Korean chart darlings again if their relevance in the US is such that Koreans reclaim them and do the whole "Twice are our national pride"
The reason for Twice decline is not only moving from their music. Their famous encore stage tarnished their reputation and there was SOOO MUCH internet slander towards them.
Everyone here knows how Stan behaviour in Kpop can get real bad. And, if actually impacted Twice's career in a tangible way.
List of rumors that messed up their reputation:
1.Chaeyoung secretly hates being in Twice and wanted to leave to be a soloist? A narrative pushed by other fandoms through "rumors".
3. Fandoms actively trending that Twice had scammed sales which made Circle literally investigate them, to find they hadn't scammed anything.
4 People actively lying about Jihyo being in the Burning Sun videos which made he actually fucking cry on camera
. All of this severely chronically online slander behaviour started from 2019-2020 onwards, mainly pushed by...certain people...and it genuinely impacted Twice's career and their mental health as individuals. It's fµcked up and it annoys the hell out of me.
