Is it ok to not want to buy merchandise? (1 Viewer)

I love kpop so much, but am not interested in having light sticks or posters of bands or singers. Is this ok? I just find it wasteful and would just want to enjoy the music without feeling I MUST have them plastered on my wall.
I don’t see the need to buy albums because I listen to it all on Spotify. If I knew of any other releases not on Spotify I’d want to buy the albums, but currently just don’t want to do that. I just enjoying playing all the artists I like.

Not everyone buys merch and you don't have to. Not everyone even has the space to. Now I bought plenty of posters of the years I don't know why since they sit in a tube. I don't have walls to put up posters.

So don't considering it wrong at all.

Not everyone can buy 10-100 albums per comeback but just like everything else in life those buy you access especially if you live in Korea and want to meet the groups.

The light sticks are super fun, If your going to the concerts its so much different of an environment than any western act.

I buy cd's because i rip them and listen to that . Honestly i just stream say spotify hyper rarely a few time s a year on cb day.

I honestly never thought there was a point to having a light stick for me personally. The only reason I bought one was cause I went to a concert and wanted the full experience... but besides that, yeah, no, would not buy one.
But yeah, it’s totally fine. It’s totally fine to also never buy the music and albums itself tbh. It’s all up to preference!

This behavior is egoistic and not acceptable.
You should even buy a bodypillow of Sana and some Nayeon Cornflakes or God JYP will kill you.

There's nothing wrong with it at all. I only buy albums when I feel like it anyways.

I only buy the albums. I don’t care about the rest too.

I for one have never bought a single things besides a ticket to an ATEEZ concert... and that's basically the only thing I'd buy, as far as official merch goes... I'll just make the shirt myself, it'll cost less. Just make a design of a t-shirt, go to your local t-shirt printing place and get it printed for much much less than what official merch might cost.

So yes, stan everything and anything you like, you don't have to buy anything tho, it's your choice
