I took my cousin to her first trip to Koreatown today. I ended up giving her a lecture on the economics of Kpop merchandising.

She doesn’t get why mini lightsticks are more expensive than the actual light sticks. However, she does appreciate the groups that actually bothered to make interesting lightsticks. She was really impressed with  B.A.P’s Matoki, APink’s Pink Panda , Mamamoo’s Radish confused her, Army bomb got a ‘what?’ and VIXX’s latern got an ‘AWWWWWWWW I WANT ONE’ She hates EXO’s light stick. She said it was too plain & I agree.

Then I told her about EXO and the 20 versions of EXODUS and how I’ve seen people slam the 20 versions on the counter to buy them all (mind you, each copy is $20 so $20x20 +tax=rip wallet). She was horrified. Then I told her about photo books and their purposes/costs.

Then we got to concert merch. She almost screamed when I told her ONE WINGS tour hair tie was $20.

Point is we spent an hour inside the shop and at the end, all she said to me was “Damn, those companies got you all whipped”
