₩₩₩ JYPE SELLS T₩ICE JE₩ELRY FOR RIDICULOUS PRICES, SELLS OUT ANY₩AY ₩₩₩

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

each piece of jewelry cost 99 000 won which is roughly 90 USD. as soon as the preorder started, everything was sold out incredibly quickly

source: sound-wave

the leather bracelets could've been bought at a claire's/walmart/target/dollar store or something and would've cost you $12...

omona, would you spend $100 on ~limited edition~ jewelry of your favs?

the fact that people actually paid that much....

[citypolaroids.livejournal.com]

i can understand buying concert goods to a certain extent, esp for people who might never get to see their faves again, but goddamn who in their right minds would shell out that much for basic ass jewelry that ain't worth shit in the real world? maybe i'm getting too old and tired for the shit that companies pull to make money off of their fandoms. ATMs, indeed.

I know I shouldn't judge how others use their wallets, but I just cannot understand how people can spend such amounts of money on this stuff. Same goes to ordering +100500 versions of one album.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

90 dollars for that...

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

lol. who is this and what's it from?

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

it's Onew from SHINee ^^ this one of their new Line stickers https://store.line.me/stickershop/product/8677 some of them are pretty funny

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[haroobommi.livejournal.com]

has capitalism gone too far

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

wellllll i guessssss this shows how strong their female fanbase is... altho i'm sure female fans were not the only ones buying them... uhhh... jyp wyd

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

i have no room to talk, i pay a lot more for other luxury items that people think is not worth the coin xD

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

What luxury items is that may I asked?

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

perfume, i like my tom ford xD i can easily drop 300 for a bottle D;;;;;;; and his deodorant lmao which is like..50 D;;;;;;;;;;

andd recently ive gotten into comics so i got this huge captain marvel statue for like...400+ but my god is she a glorious thing *__* same with a black panther statue for 200 xD

GRANTED not all at the same time tho haha

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

lol I only buy branded perfume when they are on sale. So I spent like 20/30% from their original price. And I only buy it for exquisite bottle since I didnt actually put them on. :P

I understand what you mean tho. I spent like really a loooooooot for my limited edition CDs or concert pamphlets of my fave J-pop artist. Its not my place to say anything either... OTL

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I love perfume and I think if you find the ~perfect scent and have the money to pay for it, then go ahead. Some luxury items are just worth the splurge if you know you'll love or use it a lot.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

My goodness, you can find better quality bracelets (18k gold plated or genuine leather) at the price of US3 at aliexpress (free shipping). OTL This price is like robbing the fans in a daylight...

[misspoirot.livejournal.com]

No bcs (1) i dont like fandom-related merchandises; didnt event buy the iconic EXO 88 wolf era shirt so i cant imagine going around with exo/nct members name on my wrist and (2) im not giving my money to SM

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

If the item's quality matched the price, sure, but if you're selling me a $12 piece fo crap for $100...lol, bye.

[glider.livejournal.com]

idk why everyone's mad, they clearly had the demand for them and fans with enough disposable income to afford it. if it makes the fans who bought the pieces happy, why criticize? JYPE isn't holding a gun to Onces' heads and robbing them lmao

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Mte. It's easy to accuse JYPE of milking fans for their money but nobody's forcing people to buy stuff. This is just what happens when a group becomes insanely popular.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

not really .... 90% of kpop merch (specially tour merch) is tacky and cheap looking to contrast with their luxury brand prices lmao twice jewerly isnt the exception, for this kind of money you would think you bought a whole order of 100 tacky bracelets

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

whatever, the girls get a portion of this so if once want to drop $ on tacky jewelry I'm all for it

[lemonadetea.livejournal.com]

I wish I had the kind of money that I could just drop $90 on jewelry.

[xlovexlessxtyx.livejournal.com]

JYPE gotta get their shit together and promote some other artists. Twice & GotJackson can't be the sole breadwinners.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

** Suzy & japanPM

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

i'm too broke to support my faves like this, especially if the stuff is as simple as this jewelry
as long as the girls are getting a good chunk of this money then it's fine

the most i've ever spent on fandom stuff outside of albums/individual photocards is the $10 i spent on two onew and tao folders @ sm coex so...that's probably a good indicator of how much i'm willing to spend on unnecessary fandom goods rofl

[10135.livejournal.com]

Get that money!

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

I wonder how much percentage of these sales go to the members though.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

Holy crap I didn't realize they were so expensive. I'm a sucker for fandom merch but I'm also cheap lol, that's why I didn't buy Shinee's $80 Japanese lightstick even though I reeeeeeeeeeeeally want it (I'm hoping there might be some around when I go to Japan in a few months and maybe I can get one a little cheaper T_T)

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Godaaaaaaamn!

[blackferris.livejournal.com]

i love twice but this is too much... you can bootleg stuff like sweaters off amazon for half the price of those, even less :/

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

This is clearly cheap tat so no, but if it was a beautiful piece and designed by the artist I would consider it.

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

"omona, would you spend $100 on ~limited edition~ jewelry of your favs?" hell to da fuck naw. i love vixx but i'll be damned if i spend that much on what looks like cheap ass jewelry lol i don't buy an kpop merch (just cds/dvds) because i see no value in it.

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

I'll not spend a dime on anything kpop related, everything is tacky and sold for $$$$$.
But I won't say no to giveaways
