Listen "The Price of Loving K-Pop"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis week on Comeback Corner, we’re opening our wallets and asking the real question: what’s the true cost of living the K-pop life? (Spoiler: too much. And we’d still do it all again.)But first: our weekly SEVENTEEN bias line-up update (chaos? obviously), plus a recap of our current obsessions - and the many, many ways SVT keeps us emotionally fulfilled yet financially drained.Then it’s a deep dive into the economics of stanning: albums, photocards, lightsticks, limited drops, pop-ups, fanmade masterpieces… and the eternal budgeting struggle. We’re talking spreadsheets vs. spontaneous spending, peer pressure, “I’ll stop after this one” lies, and why surprise drops feel like personal attacks.Whether you’re a calculated collector or deep in your “I can justify this” era, this episode’s for you.Plus: a derail into tennis, Formula 1, and the mystery of… who is Roderick Fredrick?!
