This week on Comeback Corner, we’re opening our wallets and asking the real question: what’s the true cost of living the K-pop life? (Spoiler: too much. And we’d still do it all again.)

But first: our weekly SEVENTEEN bias line-up update (chaos? obviously), plus a recap of our current obsessions - and the many, many ways SVT keeps us emotionally fulfilled yet financially drained.

Then it’s a deep dive into the economics of stanning: albums, photocards, lightsticks, limited drops, pop-ups, fanmade masterpieces… and the eternal budgeting struggle. We’re talking spreadsheets vs. spontaneous spending, peer pressure, “I’ll stop after this one” lies, and why surprise drops feel like personal attacks.

Whether you’re a calculated collector or deep in your “I can justify this” era, this episode’s for you.

Plus: a derail into tennis, Formula 1, and the mystery of… who is Roderick Fredrick?!
