  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n\n\nI liked him for about 5 years and I think I spent about 3 million won (~2K USD). I'm originally someone who does fan activities cost-effectively, so I usually spend 0 won, but because I liked him so much, I spent a lot in the first two years and it ended up like that.\n\nBack then, the male idol I liked worked really hard, so I followed suit and worked hard, losing 15kg and getting a job after working part-time.\n\nHowever, a scandal broke out, so it's been a while since I stopped being a fan. Because of that, I quit supporting male idols and left K-pop entirely, but I feel wasteful about the money spent on him. These days, I think it would have been better if I had bought gold with that money.\n\n\nIf that scandal hadn't broken out, I wouldn't be thinking this way.\n\n\n\n\noriginal post: here\n\n\n\n\n1. It's not a waste if you never leave the fandom or they don't get into controversies\n\n\n\n\n2. Even spending 0 won on a male idol who gets into a controversy feels like a waste of my feelings\n\n\n\n\n3. You do feel f*cking stingy once they get into controversy and you look back at all the money you've spent\n\n\n\n\n4. But you've achieved a lot from it, so just see it as a benefit ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ\n\n\n\n\n5. 3M won in 5 years? What did you even buy?\n\n\n\n\n6. But you received a lot of positive influence from him, think of it as his payback\n\n\n\n\n7. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wouldn't even consider it a lot of money\n\n\n\n\n8. If you leave the fandom from a controversy... the only thing that you've wasted is your time\n\n\n\n\n9. Leaving your fandom through a controversy makes spending even 1 won a waste\n\n\n\n\n10. What a waste... I also felt like I wasted my 10 years of fangirling because of his controversy ㅜㅜ\n\n\n\n\nNew post\n\nNext Post\n\n\n\n\n✉ PC Stories",
