Problem
Kpop fans are constantly overspending on merch, concerts, new album releases etc. They stand in a lot of different groups and don't know how to manage/track their finances that they spend on these groups. The concept of “money comes back but the memories don't" is a term that a lot of fans (including myself) use to justify these purchases.
