Beca do Minho | VIU O STRAY KIDS 2X

Here is basically what Div1 is offering us lately: you want to stan Stray Kids? Great, their music is super fun and their albums are awesome. But if you actually want to fully experience a comeback, you have to pay. We get very little video promotion, almost no variety shows, just a few TikToks, and SKZ CODE feels less fun than before. If you want to talk to your idols, you have to buy the membership which is only available once a year, isn't affordable for everyone, and if you miss it, you have to wait until next year. If you want to watch lives or write to them, sorry, but you have to pay for that membership again. I know Stray Kids are so busy and work extremely hard, but the main content we get now consists of brand deals and photo shoots. Where is the real connection? I am not saying they should feed our delusion, but how do you expect to interact with your fans and build a bigger fanbase if you put everything behind a paywall? We just want simple, genuine things, and we are tired of having our money scraped out of us with merch coming out every single day. It is cool that they do Stray City and so many concerts, but not everyone can afford to travel and buy concert tickets. Div1 wants to grow the fanbase, but there is no real bond with all the fans anymore. I am not blaming Stray Kids at all because they are so adorable and innocent in this, but it is up to the agency to fix this. It is Div1’s responsibility to manage the relationship between idols and fans properly. Please manage your artists better and bring back simple, fun, and accessible content for everyone.
