Is it hard being a K-pop stan?

I was embarrassed for listening to J-pop when I was younger. But now I don't care if people know I listen to K-pop.

Kpop is popular in my country, but the fans have bad reputation. That's why people will judge you as a basic person who goes crazy to plastic oppa

No one batting an eye if you say listen to Western music, or even for being edgy and say liking Jrock or anime ost.

It's only embarrassing if you're a fan of Johnny's jimusho idol groups or 48 girls. You'll seen as basic

But if you mention Utada Hikaru, Shiina Ringo, L'arc En Ciel, Hoshino Gen, people think it's something cool.

Almost all my friends are ARMYs now lol and they were the one who suggested me to check it out in the first place despite me being resistant to it

No, it is super easy

I don't have time for anyone that judges me coz I listen to Kpop

nope.

All my frnds don't really judge me for my music, infact they are happy I like bts and txt a lot and they can simply gift the albums or merch for birthdays instead of thinKing too much.

Nope!

I'd say ppl are less judgmental to music genre compared to before
