Dear @GMMTV , We believe it’s time for a serious and respectful conversation. As long-time supporters who have invested money, time, and effort to attend events, run fan projects, and promote your artists, we have to ask: Does GMMTV truly respect Vietnamese fans? Our answer is: Yes, but not nearly enough. ⸻ 1️⃣ Vietnam: A Strong Market with Unmatched Support In the past three years, Vietnam has hosted more than 30 GMMTV events, consistently drawing strong attendance despite high ticket prices. We show up. We support. We trend globally. We deliver some of the most professional fan projects across all regions. Our contributions are visible, impactful, and reflect genuine dedication. Yet, the treatment we receive remains disproportionately underwhelming. 2️⃣ Program Quality Is Declining •Events are getting shorter, some lasting less than 90 minutes. •Content feels repetitive and lacks creativity. •Benefit sessions are rushed and poorly managed, leaving us feeling like an afterthought rather than valued participants. This decline is disheartening, especially for fans who invest so much to be part of these experiences. 3️⃣ Cultural Appreciation Is Minimal In other countries, artists are welcomed with traditional ceremonies, flower garlands, and fan messages showcased on stage. The artists even wear the national customs. In Vietnam, these efforts are often reduced to backstage decorations, invisible to both artists and the public. This difference in treatment sends a clear message: our culture and hospitality are not being valued in the same way. 4️⃣ Fan Contributions Are Undermined •Food support that we prepare with care is accepted but often left untouched without prior notice, resulting in waste and hurt feelings. •Merchandise sold in Vietnam is frequently outdated, and staff interactions with fans can be unprofessional. Such behavior diminishes trust and discourages the very people who are the backbone of these events. 5️⃣ Ticket Pricing Must Reflect Market Realities Ticket prices have become increasingly unreasonable, especially when many artists are still early in their careers. If pricing is based on Thai baht, Vietnam’s local purchasing power must also be taken into account. A standardized pricing formula cannot simply be applied across different markets without considering economic context. 6️⃣ This Is a Business Relationship — Not a One-Way Street It is a mutual exchange. We invest our money, time, and creativity, and in return, we expect fair value, professional standards, and basic respect. Vietnam is not just another stop on the map. With Cambodia no longer active, Vietnam now stands as one of GMMTV’s primary Southeast Asian base. That should be reflected in how events are planned, executed, and valued. 7️⃣ Respecting Fans Means Respecting Artists When fans are respected, artists benefit too. A well-treated fanbase fosters long-term loyalty, sustains demand, and creates a more meaningful experience for everyone involved. Vietnamese fans are loyal but we are NOT to be taken for granted. Note: This letter reflects our collective views as Vietnamese fans. It is not issued on behalf of any formal organization. We welcome respectful and constructive discussion. VIETNAMESE FANS DESERVE BETTER #GMMTVRespectVietnameseFans

It’s funny how a post supposedly appreciating one friendship needs to bring another person into the conversation just to make a point. You can praise PondPhuwin without using Fourth as a comparison tool. A compliment stops being genuine when it needs someone else to look bad. But you know what, I’m not suprised at all with these behaviors. Low.

8 REASONS GMMTV DOESN’T SELL KENPAUL CARDS AT STARLYMPIC 1. Ken is busy with exams. GMMTV is afraid he’ll mistake his photocard for a multiple-choice exam and start answering A, B, C, D. 🧐 2. Paul is busy bouldering. GMMTV called him for a card photoshoot, but he said, “Let me finish this route first.” Three days later, he’s still up there.🧗 3. GMMTV decided not to print Ken’s card because they couldn’t find a single photo of him with his eyes OPEN. They tried 7749 times. Every single one looked like a nap time photo. 😪 4. Paul requested a photoshoot while bouldering. GMMTV agreed, but when the design team got the pictures, Paul had climbed right out of the frame. There was nothing left to crop. 🌾 5. Paul asked GMMTV not to sell his cards because he was worried fans might take them diving. Once the cards are placed in waterproof cases, they could become archaeological artifacts at the bottom of the Thai sea. 🧜🏻 6. GMMTV is developing a new card-printing technology. Since Paul loves climbing and diving, they want his card to be waterproof, shockproof, scratch-resistant, and especially resistant to falling from a height of 15 meters. The budget hasn’t been approved yet. 💸 7. GMMTV is afraid KenPaul cards will become as valuable as national treasures. If they release a limited edition, fans might start bidding wars just to protect their card collections. 🪎 8. GMMTV is testing a new marketing strategy called Invisible Card Collection. The KenPaul cards actually EXIST, but they’re limited editions. You need supernatural powers to see them. 🪬👁️ What’s your theory? #KenPaul

The face card but not on the cards 🤡🤡🤡 Why tho? @GmmtvShop
