Your video is very inspiring to many kpop fans out there who wants to start independent collection rather than depending on others to help them get the item. Anyway I would calk mydekf the manager of the group order manager 😂😂🤣🤣 but mostly these people are my close friends like when I say close is really someone who is in my workplace/school(fyi I am currently in college now), Like you say, being a gom cannot be lazy and have to be active to check twitter so I have a list that I add all the fansign/video call site to this list which allows me to always get updates on new events. So I just have to look at these sites and not that whole twitter. So here comes the main thing. I am consider an introvert and doesn't like to associate myself with people I do not know so yea I do not have much kpop friends other than just these few group order manager 😂. But you know GOMs are also fans themselves and not all fans like the same group as you but I still want to go to fs/VC so I technically tank all the orders myself. And the worse is I actually stan those big groups like BTS, blackpink and during BTS early days, fs/vc arent a thing internationally so most participants are Koreans. So yea I have pile and piles of unclaimed albums. The only blessing I have which not many fans/GOMs have was that my family have a culture of transnational marriage so I have some aunt or uncle that married to a Korean person and live there. Thus I usually can ship my stuff to their place and they can help me find a cheaper way to ship to me. As for pcs, china are also hot on market and fyi again I am a Singaporean Chinese so I do have some relative in china thus I often do purchase from Chinese sellers and then have them ship to my relatives house. And I have one uncle, my mom's brother who will travel there monthly just to see his other family so he will help me bring back my haul for free. So technically I do can start a GO but is the hesitation that comes. You really need to prepare to handle multiple enquiries if you want to be a GOM.
