The Caratbong V3 boycott
I always try to make sure my posts are always positive so that I can bring happiness to other Carats just like how Seventeen brings happiness to me
But this time, I would like to bring your attention to what is happening in Caratland. I'm not sure if you have seen it on twitter or weverse but a majority of Carats are doing a boycott and not buying the Caratbong version 3 because
- The design does not reflect Seventeen's identity
- The price for Caratbong V3 is more expensive than V2
- The special gift is only a strap for an expensive lightstick and it's only available for first batch
I wish I can list down more but it will make this post too long
But I just really want Carats to know what's happening and know that we have the power to choose to not buy or to buy it. If we allow them to control even the thing that is special to us as a fan, then in the future, they will do it again and again. We keep mentioning and complaining about hybe and their merch but we never do anything noticeable to show them that we're not satisfied. I think we should do it this time
You are not forced to join the boycott. If the lightstick is okay with you, then feel free to buy it. At the end of the day, it is your money so it is your decision on where to spend it on.
But I just really want to let Reddit Carats also know the effort Kcarats and I-carats are doing right now on twitter on weverse. Hope it helps!
Edit: what I mean by hybe doesn't care is because Carats can do a much better job at designing it like this one that uses the same exact v3 but in our colours and using the old globe or all of the ones in here.
