This blog somehow becoming a 'Kpop fan' blog. XD I'm not so sorry about that though. Hehe. If you follow this blog from the beginning, you must know that I am a Kpop fan (or just Korea in general) for a long time. Well, though now I'm not so into Kpop but BTS. (Don't blame me, BTS is such an adorable person I've ever met. We'll talk about that later~)
Well, if you want to see all my blog post about Kpop, here the list *wink*:

Alright! That's a quite long list -_- When I look back and reading my blog post, I feel like "Woww! How childish my old blog post sounds~" or "Is that me that wrote all of this? I can't believe it!".
I'm having fun this time, guys. I know Kpop world quite a long time ago, around 2009-2010 I guess. But, let me tell you about my journey from the start and how it happens.
Before I know 'Kpop', I really love watching Korean Drama. My first Korean drama (that I can think of) is 대장금 (Dae Jang Geum / Jewel in the Palace). It's a good drama as long as I can remember. I still remember how I cut the paper into pieces and try to make my own version of an old book like in the drama. Wow, how times flies by. I know I'm still in elementary school at that time.
대장금 (Dae Jang Geum / Jewel in the Palace)
The very first Kdrama that lead me into 'Kpop' is 미남이시네요 (Minamisineyo / You're Beautiful). In that drama, I love seeing the gentle Kang Shin-woo and the bubbly Jeremy. That's the two character I love the most. So, I became curious about who they are in real life. I do some research (you know, I mean *cough* Google have everything *cough*) XD
미남이시네요 (Minamisineyo / You're Beautiful)
A little after that, I know that they are from a band. Jung Yong Hwa (Kang Shin Woo) is from CNBLUE and Lee Hong Gi (Jeremy) is from FT Island.
(Jeremy)
(Kang Shin Woo)
I love listening to FT Island song for a while (around a couple of weeks to a month. Not so long, right? XD). If you ask what song that I still remember until now, the answer is this song > FTISLAND - 지독하게 (Severely)
Why not so long? There's a reason behind that. After this song, I stumbled across some another music video that caught my attention at that time. It's SHINee. I don't remember the exact song but I do stan them for a longer period of time. (until I'm going to university in 2011 and become hiatus after that because a lot of assignment to do. You know the pain of assignments T_T) I still listen to their song from time to time.
What I love being SHAwol is how the fandom behave. SHAwol is known as the best fandom in term of peacefulness. I like that. Back in the days, there are only a little fanwars can be seen. We live happily with another fandom. The little things that I suddenly realized are, actually back then, they all are '오빠' (oppa) to me, accept Taemin who is the same age as me. (Huh, I guess everyone knows my age now! lol) - btw, my bias in SHINee is Taemin :)
Now, my bias in recent group is just a '동생 ' (dongsaeng). What a twist!
After some blood, sweat, and tears on completing my diploma for 3 years, I started to listen to Kpop song again in 2013. Back then, I still SHAWol and I not really watching any Kpop videos in general. I'm becoming 'normal' for a while. People call it 'adulting'.
Fast forward a few years, in 2017 I started to listen to Kpop again, because in my Facebook timeline always been spammed with this particular group - EXO. It's always EXO this and EXO that, and so on. So, I'm curious about how great this group can be to be widely known? Then, the journey begins. I became EXO-L after that. Long enough to know the inside jokes and the ships. Long enough to find some memes. If you want to know, my bias is Chanyeol and Baekhyun always find a way to bias wreck me~ I'm dead... Yup...
So, if I love EXO so much, how come I become BTS ARMY all of sudden? You must be curious about that right? (or let me just telling you my story. hehe)
I heard this fanwar is going on with these 2 fandoms. It's a never-ending fanwar isn't it? I'm not someone that hate the other group. I took it as a childish behavior and people tend to do it anyway until it's going out of control. I just want to give it a try, to give this other group attention a little. I want to know who is this BTS that make another fandom hate them. Who is this guy?
I still remember the exact video that I watch for the first time. It's 'BTS (방탄소년단) 'DNA' Official MV'
"Yes, it's THIS MV! Okay, a cool song to listen with. Another video, please..." -Kina
"Okay, this is LIT!!! How people can hate this group?" -Kina
Haha, that's how I got into this mess. I mean, I don't hate it. I LOVE IT! Little by little, I discover more sides from this awesome 7 guys. A few Bangtan Bombs, then ships videos, some memes videos, variety shows and I can't stop. There's so much in it that makes me want more! There's a theory behind the MV, the notes and even Webtoon!
I stan the right group~
I think I feel closer to them because of their personality. Through their Youtube channel, we can see their 'imperfect' side that mostly all people won't share to the public. That makes them more 'human' if you know what I mean. We can relate to them in many ways.
In addition to that, most people already know, I am a book lover. I love comics and novels. In fact, I'm collecting them. I love mystery stories. I am what people called 'introvert' which I can relate a little bit with Yoongi (Suga of BTS) I'm battling with sadness every single week and somehow their videos help me a little. I feel I got a friend, I feel my life not so dull anymore, even when a tough day comes that makes me cry, I know I'm not alone. They teach me how to love myself.
The most important things are, they spread the positivity. Even their UN Speech makes me cry. From now on, I'll try to Speak Myself. I want people to know what's my feeling.
Here are some videos that I remember and help me a lot when I'm feeling alone. I hope this can help you too:
and there's a lot more... oh, once again, my bias is J-Hope and Jimin need to stay in his line, please~ hehe...
Why you just being in 1 fandom at a time when you can just be a multi-fandom? I don't get it!
I know, people will ask me this question. I wish I can be a multi-fandom. Yes, I wish I can. But the problem is... I CAN'T!. I try so hard to liking more than one group at one time but I can't do that how hard I try. So, what I can do is stay loyal to one group at least for now. I don't know what will happen in the future but I guess BTS will be with me for a long...long... time. Well, I still have 7 years with them... so...
What about TXT, the new group from BigHit?
Well, I already learned their names one by one. The song is catchy and all of them is babies! So cute. But, you know me, I'm BTS ARMY. I still like TXT but BTS is my priority. Like I said, I just can't stan more than 1 group at the same time, it's personal guys, no hate, please. So, take it this way, if TXT is my babies that I look after from time to time, BTS is like my twins that always with me wherever I go. lol. I hope you know what I mean because I suck at explaining things. XD
A little fun story, actually, when I'm in my final year in university (2013), my housemate is an ARMY, a BTS fans. BTS debut in 2013, right? She is an ARMY from the beginning! Even until now she still is BTS ARMY. Woww! I think I already heard some of their song from my housemate. Little did I know that I will stan them a few years later T_T
CONCLUSION...
So, I put a weird looking, the largest font to make a conclusion. lol. In case you feeling lazy to read all the lines, here it is. I started into 'Kpop' in 2009-2010. The first group that I like is FT Island and then it goes > SHINee > EXO > BTS.
The End.
Haha, seriously guys, that is what I explained in this looongg post. You should read it if you want to know how it likes to be a Kpop fan or if you are already a Kpop fan. Please share in the comment section about your journey too. I would love to know how your personal journey is ;)
