“Kpop is a well-oiled machine indeed,” says Lyn Ching.

If you're a K-Pop fan, you pretty much understand the struggle of prioritizing which album, light stick, and merch to purchase on your next trip to Korea.

With so much of your hard-earned money going on merch, every fan simply wants to get what they pay for.

However, these “struggles” are very much new to Unang Hirit host Lyn Ching as she navigated her way into the K-Pop madness when her daughter, Gaby, asked her company when buying the merch of her favorite K-idols.

On Instagram, a stumped Lyn Ching is seen with a pile albums from groups like Super Junior, EXO, Seventeen, and Tomorrow x Together in front of her.

She wrote, “'Mommy! You look like you're dead inside,' Gaby says looking at these photos taken while she was choosing from among the MANY Kpop albums she wanted to get....”

“Just listening to her tell me about different albums with the same songs but with different photos and themes makes me zone out. Too many... Seriously!

“Kpop is a well-oiled machine indeed. If you're a collector, you'd have to shell out A LOT of money.”

“Mommy! You look like you're dead inside” Gaby says looking at these photos taken while she was choosing from among the MANY Kpop albums she wanted to get.... in fairness, i asked her what she wanted for Christmas 🎄 i'd rather she chooses than i guess which one... just listening to her tell me about different albums with the same songs but with different photos and themes makes me zone out. Too many.... seriously! Kpop is a well oiled machine indeed. If you're a collector, you'd have to shell out A LOT of money. But if it makes my Gaby happy well.... meri pasko anak 😃 • • #zoneout #kpop #seventeen #exo #bts #kpopalbum #album #music #popmusic #pop #koreanboyband

We're not sure what she ended up buying for her daughter, but we're convinced Gaby will be excited to open the present she'll receive this holiday season.

“If it makes my Gaby happy well.... meri pasko anak ,” she concluded.
