"What's the point of selling a lot of albums if you're going to do this in the end? That's why we should start counting 1 album per person. After this, it should be your own choice if you want to buy more albums."
"We should change the rules. We should stop photocards, and remove the fan calls/fan events and just stick to 1 version."
"The issue is that person who buys the album should go in a database of that specific store, but wouldn't be registered in the database of another store, so they can just do it all over again."
"The person who owns these albums should be the one apologizing, why are people asking OP to apologize?"
"They have 18 versions of an affordable album, 899 photocards, fansigns in 3 countries + fan calls that are like a lottery system, and the albums are either dumped in the streets or in overseas' warehouses. Seventeen's records are a scam."
"That's exactly why millions of album sales aren't much of an indicator of genuine interest in K-pop and why K-pop is regarded as a manufactured genre."
