TCG_Exchange 2018 Winter Event
There's no Gangnam Style. I promise.
Premise
... Because the first round wasn't enough, I thought you would enjoy having Kpop repeatedly thrown in your face! Muahahahaha.
But Mango... What happened groups?! You introduced me to them and then I never heard from them again!! What gives?
Well, simply put, there's a lot to write about in a year. You can check out all of it here! Read it... It took me 3 nights to fish up most of that news. :) I included as much as I could minus a ton of Kdramas and music performances. I thought I'd just stick to noteworthy news related to the music. Enjoy~! (Just FYI. I spend a lot of time looking at Kpop news on Reddit. Yay /r/kpop!
Moving along~ The idea this time is similar to that of the last one. You do things. You collect cards. Simple as pie right?
Just for this round, instead of your friend introducing you to bands and dragging you to concerts, you're now a journalist writing an article on 20 of Kpop's biggest stars. Unfortunately for you, you know basically only what happened in the first event, so only half of the groups/artists are recognizable. So, what do you do? You grab your friend, Mango, the Kpop Encyclopedia to teach you everything you need to know about the ten groups you have no idea about.
So are you ready? Mango's going to treat this like a Pokemon Gym. Make it through each artist and get a Gym badge tcg card!
Are you ready? Luckily, Mango knows more about kpop than Onew knows about fried chicken! She's here to help you save your job! Woo! Did I mention that Mango also has backstage passes to everything in Kpop? So, hold on tight because you're going on a concert tour too. As she puts it, nothing is better than witnessing them in person! Let's get started!
Realistically this round there aren't as many gifs as before. :( Lots of music videos to watch though!
The Cards
If you're not here for these, I don't know why you're here.
Honestly, this time around, these are based on idols that Mango likes. She had to cut it down from a very long, lengthy list. Seriously, she had 50 people on her list earlier. Otherwise, she would have had people like Got7, VIXX, Lee Hi, etc.
For every group, idol/singer you answer, you get 1 card (like this one 
).

Collect 5 unique cards out of the 10 to master the deck.
At the end of the event, you can buy 5 of any of the 10 cards for 5 cards a piece. So if you do the entire event and buy the extra cards you can have up to 15 Kpop event cards (plus the thing below)!
So how do you get the cards? Keep scrolling.
Tutorial
You can get the cards by learning about the idols and answering all the questions that Mango throws at you.
For your first task, you will be sent to a page that allows you to learn about an artist. Who the members are, their music, maybe some Korean culture, who knows what Mango will throw in there...
After you will answer a question or two that Mango asks on the page. Pretty much the same as last time. However, you only get 2 chances to get the right answer! Tough crowd.
You also get to do a little MINI-challenge. What? Mini-challenge? YES! Mini-challenge! Hidden inside the pages of this event, there are 12 non-tradable cards.
If you find the location of all 12 cards and bring them back to me, you can have 1 duplicate card of any of the actual event cards from this event that you earn. For example: If you earn the Ailee and NCT cards, but not the GFriend cards, you can only choose an Ailee or NCT cards as your extra, not the GFriend one.
Just make sure to write down the page that you find each of these extra cards on! They're not all going to be super obvious, but that's the fun part, right?
Remember these cards are not tradeable and are only used for decoration or for the purposes of this event. However, Mango is going to proudly display some of them on her card post because she's that type of weirdo.
STAWP!
