“JYP never notices how much effort they put into it, Mexico is one of the countries with the most streams and he always ignores it?”
“why are they already showing stages for encores WHAT HAPPENED IN EUROPE? WHAT HAPPENED IN UK? WHAT ???”
“Tbh it’s a bit sad that even Europe didn’t have a tour date, I’m flying with you, but I was hoping that they would at least go to Europe. Anyway, let’s just wait for next year.”
