Do you stan Itzy?

no i only stan yuta from NCT mostly. my favorite groups are aespa and NCT 127 but i only watch content that yuta participates in .

Quote from bethesda

I thought you stan Itzy because of your username being "Aeicy" which reminds me of the "Icy" song by Itzy.

well thats my favorite song by itzy and Ae is because of Aespa.

Quote from bethesda

What's your favorite song by Aespa?

i guess iconic and next level

Quote from bethesda

I want to say "I stan Apple", even if it's a joke, but since it's an American company, and people say "stan" when talking about K-Pop groups, I don't know if it can be used for any other company, like American ones for example.

kpop has never created culture, it only borrows it from others. same can be said about kpop fan culture. terms like stan, slay, bop, and many others

my fav eminem song

Stan isn't a kpop term Surprisingly, it took me a while to realize it comes from Stan by Eminem. Which ironically describes everything wrong with stanning and yet K-pop and celebrity fans took it as a fandom word.
