The Kpop rave that has been going around for some time has taken hostage lots of fans' hearts all over the world by now. This exceptional impact can be seen widely affecting many fields, ranging from skincare products to even food and beverages that uses idol imagery as their ambassadors. Aside from their amazing presence on set, idols' interaction with fans are the one thing new fans are coming for. This sweet yet playful banter successfully encaptured hearts ranging from students to grandmothers (they're that irresistible, I know).
      Val (12), a sixth grader, had been a carat (re: boyband Seventeen's fans name) for almost a year, and since have collected numerous goods of Seventeen. On Wednesday (08/06/22), she admit that the effect these idols have on their younger fans are no joke, and the craze deserves to be used the right way by attaining new achievements, making carats felt the need to spend more either time, money, or even both on Seventeen, to ensure the success of whatever they are doing at the moment. Val adds that she only have one album of Seventeen, which could grow to more numbers in the future, whilst taking a lot of her personal interest more in her photocard collections.
      She considers that what she has are far too little compared to her circle, but now, Val said, she can still manage her needs and wants list in check, by constantly reminding herself to control those urges, and just do what she can to support her idol aside from using money, and focusing more on things she's able to do. She then said to have streamed Seventeen's newly released music video continuously along with her carat friends in order for them to win several on-going competitions held by music shows in Korea, such as Music Bank, Inkigayo, and so on.
       Val also said that after for so long performing without any audiences, Seventeen finally made their smashing return to the big stages by performing "HOT" and also promoting their latest album "Face The Sun", so surely, the fans are making a big deal out of this comeback, filling every stage of theirs with exciting cheers and screams we all have been missing out during the pandemic.
