There are many controversial opinions about whether to spend money to "follow idols" or to use that money for charity after the article Going abroad to "follow idols", is it a waste of money or not? posted on Tuoi Tre Online.

What's wrong with money for your own interests?

"Following idols" with your own money is okay, but wasting money given by your parents is what's wrong! - a reader affirmed.

According to reader Mimi, young people should travel freely because youth is short, and later they won't be able to buy a return ticket. "When you're around 30, you'll grow up, get married. Your friends will too. It's very difficult to travel like that." This opinion was supported by many readers.

A reader with the cute nickname White Bear shared his opinion: "It's not for nothing that people say "don't teach the rich how to spend money". Most of the people who go abroad to see shows and concerts many times are from well-off families and earn their own money. That's not wrong, but it's condemned as a waste of money.

What's wrong with using money to serve your own interests? While football fans also spend a lot of money to watch football matches, why are K-pop fans wrong to watch their idols? And don't condemn it by saying it's for the poor. If you don't use the money you earn for yourself, who will you use it for?

"I don't see anything wasteful. You use money to drink coffee and chat every day, but I use money to "flirt" with idols. It's that simple!" commented Giang Thanh.

Reader Yuan Parker commented that "following idols" with your own money is okay, but wasting money given by your parents is.

Neither opposing nor supporting, Tung's account expressed that people spend the money they earn. "In my opinion, it's definitely a waste, and whether it's a waste or not will definitely be debated because there are many different opinions. Personally, my idol is a family member so it's not a waste, and sometimes it's profitable. The proof is that every time I visit, I'm treated to a comfortable meal. So being an idol is easy, just live and be an idol for your children and grandchildren, that's enough," this person wrote.

Similarly, Tra Hoa account said that wasting money is using money in a meaningless way, without any value. If spending money brings joy to yourself, it is not a waste of money. According to this reader, each person has a different way to create joy for themselves such as buying books, listening to music, watching movies, traveling ...

But it is important to consider whether the amount of money spent on that hobby is suitable for your and your family's economic conditions. If it is only fun for a while but brings long-term stress, it is not worth it.

Is it something to be proud of to "follow idols" with your own money?

On the other hand, many people strongly oppose spending money to "follow idols" for many reasons.

Reader Minh Tran expressed his opinion: "When you start working, you will see that following idols is a waste of time and money. An idol culture is only good when you can learn something from your idols, not "following" trends, liking someone just because your friends like them without knowing that your idol is full of bad habits."

In response to this opinion, account thn@123 said that earning money but not being able to spend it as you like is unfortunate. Reader Sai Thanh commented: "People work hard to earn enough money to spend tens of millions to go abroad to watch shows, so what do you mean by 'waiting to be born'?"

Similarly, reader Lan also rejected the above opinion, saying: "I go to work and still idolize you, my friend. It's their money, they can do whatever they want with it."

"There's nothing to learn from idols! It's just "following trends" and making excuses. If you want to learn the virtue of perseverance and passion for work, there are plenty of idols around you and in your country for you to learn from. As for swiping your card to "follow idols" and then being bent over, exhausted, and mentally ill to pay off debt, don't complain or blame this generation that no one cares" is a comment from reader Vinh Loc.

Two readers IOTLINK and Coc gave their opinions respectively:

"There are two huge idols in the house. Have you ever done anything to show your gratitude to them instead of just following and shouting and hugging strangers?"; "Now fan meetings are a new trend to make money".

Account I's opinion is that "following idols" is a waste of money, that amount of money can be contributed to the Vietnam Fatherland Front, no matter how little or much, it also helps the country, helps the Fatherland.

And many people have "responded" to this comment.

"If you don't go out when you're young, when will you wait? As long as you work hard to have results to go out. Caring for family, charity... are also parts of life."

"Are you sure you contribute as much as those who "follow idols"?"

"If I contribute, can I go "follow idols"?
