A 20-year-old caller appeared on KBS JOY's variety show "Ask Anything" to talk about how being an idol fan affects their real-life romantic relationships. On the episode aired on the 2nd, two callers who are fans of the boy group "RIIZE" appeared. They explained their reason for appearing by saying, "We can't have real relationships because we're busy being RIIZE fans. We came to be scolded hard."
In response to Seo Jang-hoon's question, the caller said, "When I go on blind dates, have a boyfriend, or have a guy I'm interested in, the other person doesn't understand my fan life." This statement emphasized how being an idol fan impacts personal relationships. Seo Jang-hoon asked, "How much do you like them?" The caller replied, "I adjust my schedule to their overseas tours. I went to Melbourne, Hong Kong, and Tokyo and watched two concerts," surprising the cast.
Another caller explained the costs involved in overseas tours. He said, "When you go on overseas tours, accommodation, tickets, and travel expenses cost close to 1.5 to 2 million won." This statement highlighted the financial burden of fan activities. The cast was shocked by their economic spending, and Seo Jang-hoon pointed out, "Isn't that too much? It's good to find joy in music and performances as a source of vitality, but you earn 10 and spend 7."
Lee Soo-geun said, "Sorry to bring up age, but you're almost thirty. Now is the time to save. Imagine having nothing when you need it later," offering advice. Their conversation shed light on both the life of an idol fan and realistic economic issues.
Through the callers' stories, the program deeply explored the impact of fan activities on personal lives. It was especially a discussion on how passion as an idol fan affects romantic relationships and financial aspects.
