From time to time, we get so consumed with whatever that's going on with the K-pop world—that we tend to forget that we actually have our own lives to run on. Say you tend to watch too much of their contents until you prioritise this over your revision routines for your upcoming final exams, or using your entire mobile data to stream over your necessary studying materials online.
See that? Your priorities are messed up at this point.
I understand, you love your favs so much that you will do anything for them—even sacrificing your much needed sleep to watch their comeback or award performances.
But that's where you should draw your line between K-pop and your general life.
I don't see any problem with you watching their MVs or their reality shows from time to time as a form of break over your reality. However, if it's coming to the point where you push aside your important priorities or commitments just so you could be on time for their reality show to air in, that's where the big red flag comes in.
K-pop is a mere hobby to make you happy, not your full time job or an obligation!
Don't abandon your work/studies or your priorities over streaming their shows.
Don't compromise your time and money just to buy those merchandises or albums just so you could be included as their fan.
Remember: you shouldn't sacrifice your sleep over MAMA shows that is to take place at 2am in the freaking morning in your time zone. MAMA can wait, your exhausting body can't.
