Why did I do these tutorials
When we take a subject or a course, there's always this called syllabus.
We refer to the syllabus to know what type of questions the exam paper may set on.
If you studied the wrong syllabus, you may have wasted your time studying on the wrong topics
and you may not be able to answer the exam paper and do well.
The Budget is meant to be like a syllabus for the 3 music shows.
So that we would not waste our time and money doing the wrong things.
The Budget also aims to give the readers a realistic idea of how much is needed to top the charts.
Since it's a tutorial so the tone is persuasive. However our money are in our own pockets.
We make the ultimate decision how much we want to spend on his comeback.
We do not have the rights to make a critique whether it is right or wrong to spend too little or too much.
Besides how much is too little or too much depends on each individual.
Never in the tutorial have I wrote that everyone must buy at least hundred copies of the album
and spend 100 000 Korean Won above on downloads and streaming coupons. Never.
I did made some suggestions. However the ultimate decision still lies on the owner of the purse.
I'm 19 and a full-time student. There're a lot of times I wish I'm noona fans(fans who are older than him).
Then I will have the freedom and job to fund my trip to Korea or even attend his overseas events.
Then if he will to come to my country, I will be able to afford the first-row tickets.
Noona fans have more purchasing power hence there are fans who hope that he can attract more noona fans.
The only time they wish he can attract more young fans is just to show that the fandom is diversified.
I really dislike the feeling that because of age, financial status, I cannot do this or that.
That's why I did the tutorials despite knowing that someone is bound to do anyway.
I did it because this is the only way I know how to be useful in the fandom. I did not do for Kim Hyun Joong.
I did it for myself, for my conscience of someone who claims to be a fan of Kim Hyun Joong.
Moreover I do not wish to be over-reliant on Korean fans.
They have a lot of things to do. We only have Mnet Online Voting to vote.
Korean fans have Mnet Live Voting, Music Bank's Viewers' Choice and Inkigayo's Voting.
International fans can only register for two digital sites- Mnet & Soribada.
Korean fans can register for all five digital sites. Moreover they have to go to events to support him.
When Kim Hyun Joong wins an award, he thanks his fans.He did not specifically thank only the Korean fans.
The honour is shared by all fans, then the efforts should not rely on just a small group of people.
Ask yourself these questions
Why do you think Kim Hyun Joong is popular?
Why do the non-Kim Hyun Joong fans, even the antis think he is popular?
Why must be popular? Why win? Why?
