Recently, JYP Entertainment announced the renewal package of Stray Kids’ official fan club, along with a membership kit and merchandise. Fans were immediately infuriated by the inflated price and the structuring of the membership renewal.

Stray Kids’ Recent Announcement Subjected To Major Backlash

The dissatisfaction about the new membership package was echoed throughout online fan spaces, with many even taking their grievances to the group’s fan communication platform. One such fan made a post calling on JYP Entertainment to lower the prices and stop devaluing fans based on their financial status. To everyone’s astonishment, Seungmin left a “like” on the post, clearly expressing his support.

The idol, however, didn’t just stop with a passive gesture. When another fan made a post saying that their wallet was going to break trying to afford the new membership, Seungmin responded saying that they could keep their wallet shut and just enjoy their music.

💬: i feel like my wallet is going to break again.
