do you still remember which artist or group got you into kpop?

Wonder Girls

Super Junior back in 2014, they were the first group I used to stan in Kpop

SNSD was my first song

DBSK and SuJu were my first marathon listens

EXO got me into following news and having discussions

exo in 2016. Before that I never pay attention to kpop.

T-ara made me listen to kpop.

Brave Girls made me stan.

In order

Kdramas on YT; 'Happily ever after'/'Running man' on YT; Crayon pop and Apink sealed the deal.

Psy 'gangam style' was the only kpop I had ever heard before the YouTube algorithm trapped me.

SNSD Gee

I was a huge fan of BoA's songs when I was a kid. But iirc I thought she was japanese at the time because I'd heard her japanese songs first and she speaks fluent japanese.

Apink and the song was Bubibu, then Hush, then Mr. Chu. Then I was a hopeless addict.

Snsd in 2015, I saw Lionheart for the first time and was like ehh this is ok at first, but then it got stuck in my head and I went back to listen to it and then got into Snsd, and then eventually other groups

wonder girls with nobody was my first introduction to kpop but twice pulled me in completely

It happened gradually. But yeah, it was probably Big Bang. Was really obsessed with haru haru and Heaven.
