[+ 192, – 27] SM’s done this before too. For last performances on a musical they get rid of all discounts and same with days where a lot of tickets sell as well. Money is best for SM
[+ 149, – 19] That’s SM for you they lure and take money from young kids and live off that
[+107, – 30] Fan girls are always get taken advantage of. They’re probably seen as idols’ wallets but still they devote their time and money ㅋㅋㅋ They’ll regret it later
