- I believe the actual fees are a lot higher than that
- It’s surprising that the appearance fees are still as low as they were 10 years ago. Has there been no change whatsoever?
- Guys, appearance fees at university festivals are often on the low side compared to other events since these festivals have a promotional effect on young people
- It’s just a waste of tuition…
- As I do not find festivals enjoyable, I would prefer if the money was utilized to improve school facilities and prioritize student welfare.
- Kwon Eunbi’s fee is simply impressive considering she’s a solo artist
