the gunwook situation is crazy and is exactly why i wrote you make me as a fan, we all want to be seen. regardless of who we are or how much (monetary) value we bring to them (because kpop is a hypercapitalistic venture) we want to feel like we matter to our faves and when they actively shun you in favor of another cause of said monetary value it fucking hurts. yeah so what if that shunned fan is also rich; the idol themselves rigging a lottery just to give the signed polaroid to the fansite instead of the actual winner just rubs me the wrong way and would rightfully piss me off and kill my interest in the group. of course he shouldn’t get threats or hate beyond being held accountable for his recklesness to do it openly in front of cameras and for his lack of integrity but yeah, kpop fans be kpop fans (taking both sides of this discourse to its absolute extreme) when multiple things can be true at once also idols give their biggest spenders more love and better treatment than anyone else is kind of an open secret but we knew that lol this one was just caught in 4k
