Hmm  
Like I mentioned before, I kinda lost my passion for Stray Kids. It's not that I don't love them anymore, this just proves that I'm not capable of being a multi-fandom person because I have my full love and attention for just one group.

Stray Kids are about to debut. They've been releasing teasers for the album, they're doing a debut con, etc, and I found myself feeling indifferent about all these. Every time there is a Stray Kids VLive I go check it out but left after a couple of minutes out of boredom and short attention span. I found the kids ... not that interesting to follow individually and personality wise. Also, JYP doesn't care about international fans to even bother to hire a translator in this day and age. Livestreams I kinda understand, but they have a lot of pre-recorded contents and they are still releasing them without any subs. I am lost. I have to keep checking if anyone did a fansub on VLive and patience is a virtue I do not posses.

The end of the TV show, them changing their stage names, and not being able to see the music making process had distanced me with what initially made me fell in love with them. Yes they are super adorable and talented and beautiful, but my head is full of BTS (who is not even actively promoting at the moment).

Stray Kids are doing a pre-order for their debut album and I haven't put in mine yet. It's kind of expensive to get the set (2 versions), and we haven't seen any previews of what we're getting yet to choose just one. Again, I loved the physicals that I got for the Mixtape, the quality is top notch. The poster is beautiful, I love how it comes with a matte coating. The postcards, I LOVE. They actually comes in postcard size, we got 10 cards and they can be used as a postcard, unlike other companies that can't differentiate postcards with any other cards. However, ... I don't collect physicals, actually. I'd rather save to get more BTS stuff in the future.

With the Mixtape, I felt a strong emotional connection with the boys, having to watch and listen to Hellevator every day back then and witnessing their struggles on the show. I know the songs, I'm familiar with the concept, I wanted the boys to do well. With this one? I'm not sure if I'm still as invested in them as before. I'll sit this one out and cheer from afar. I'm sure the music will be great, I'll probably just buy the album on iTunes.
