@saratov1975 well if you mum thinks it weird try show her it isn't. What I do if I want something is show mum that other people are doing it too and that I want to do it too. If that doesn't work, like if your mum says why should you be like other kids and stuff convince her it's good for the community. I mean think about it, we both live in England and as hard as it is to say kpop isn't as big here so you wearing that merchandise can really help promote kpop. And you should tell your mum that kpop is something you are truly passionate about and maybe then she'll buy it. I know that when my mum doesn't agree I have to show her that I really want it and have a hard passion for it and then she might buy it. I hoped this helped, I have been in this situation before and tried to do what you are and I hope you do get your cap and jumper.
