I get that K-pop is all about flashy, colorful, and loud music that makes you jump out of your seat and grind harder for your dreams. Kpop is also a place where you can find peace.

However, the ridiculous thing about being a K-pop Idol is over-the-top fashion, which sometimes surpasses the average yearly income of some individuals.

These idols have an insane lifestyle, and what’s more insane is these outfits that cost thousands of dollars.
