Fan spends 16,000 USD to take cozy polaroids with NCT's Mark
Recently, an online community post created a significant buzz after a few photos were shared through it, featuring NCT member Mark and a fan of him. The Polaroids instantly attracted attention as the Japanese fan seemed to be quite cozy with the K-pop idol. It almost feels like the two are well-acquainted, so netizens wondered how much she had to spend in order to click snaps like these.
To this, the OP replied that it is organized by a Japanese goods and merch store, where the top five buyers who spend the most money on a K-pop idol or group’s merchandise and albums earn a special opportunity. In this case, the fan spent around 16000 USD in exchange for taking cozy photos with NCT’s Mark.
The OP also revealed that a friend who spent twice the amount received a similar opportunity with another NCT member Haechan.
Other fans in the comment section were completely shocked to learn the amount behind such photos. While many felt envious, they also expressed hesitance to spend such a big amount for a few polaroids, even if it’s their favorite K-pop idol.
