Unless you’re not on any social-media platform, you’ve probably heard of the KMJS segment which talked about a 16-year-old named “Bea,” who allegedly stole over P2 million from her grandmother to buy K-pop albums and photo cards. Know more:

First, there are those who question how the family could have over P2 million lying around when they “just have a stall in the market.” Having a stall in any market, as far as I know, requires a lot of money so, yes, the family could have had over P2 million in cash because their business is mostly cash-based. I know this because one of the my high-school best friend’s family owned a store in the market and they were quite well-off.
OK, now I will air my own opinions about K-pop and those photo cards as a Korean culture enthusiast since 1999. The pandemic has brought in a deluge of new, younger and more aggressive fans. I don’t use the word “aggressive” negatively here because fans like me are more passive in the sense that, yes, I do buy albums and photo cards but I don’t and can’t purchase tens or hundreds at one time because I have other responsibilities like paying my bills and feeding my family and dogs.
Truthfully, I didn’t touch my little collection for almost a year because I felt it was too puny compared to others. I felt that in terms of K-pop, I’d been left behind.
