Is there a group that got you BACK into K-Pop?

No, I was delusional enough to believe BP would change and suddenly release tons of music so I stayed here and well, I was right all along

no i never needed to get back into it

I always say I would be a hardcore Blink in another timeline.

2NE1 was my group, and you know how I feel about Big Bang. I just got so tired of waiting for the "next 2NE1" to debut and then started looking up new groups after about two years of really only caring about YG groups.

Then I discovered Mamamoo in 2014

I will give you the opportunity to know the 4 soloists, be sure to be grateful!!

I feel like it probably was ATEEZ

BTS in 2021. I was curious so I watch their videos on Youtube and became a fan in the process.

No, it's too late. If I waited for BLACKPINK from when YG first started hyping his next girl group, I could've gotten a whole ass college degree by the time they debuted.

But they have my support. Literally. My hard earned money went to their tour a couple years ago.

*Sigh* ok

I kinda lost interest in kpop a bit after BPs comeback in 2022. I didn't really follow kpop much in 2023 other than comebacks of the groups I like but even then I wasn't like staying up til 12am anticipating the comebacks. Really the most engagement I had was music and talking with my friend about NJs and LSF because he got really into them. Also the 5050 drama. Then BM pre-debuted (Batter Up is a pre-debut song, facts), and even though I didn't like Batter Up much, I started to get very interested in them and watched the Last Evaluation. And this year has definitely been the most I've engaged with the kpop community as a whole. Now I have 1.6k posts on an obscure kpop forum.

In second generation --- Girls' Generation.

In fourth generation --- Blackpink.

RIIZE

I didn't have a time I completely stopped following kpop, but towards the end of 2021 my passion did significantly decrease. Songs from acts I liked didn't stay in my playlist as long as I hoped and thought.

Stray Kids was the artist that stood out to me and made me REALLY interested again. I was judgemental towards them because I had heard Side Effects before and hated it so I avoided them lol.. But after months of seeing people talk about Thunderous, much to my shock, I ended up giving it a chance and I loved it.

I am quite sure my passion in 2022 would've continued to decrease more and more if I didn't have this discovery in the end of 2021, especially since the main group I liked became completely inactive that year.

Nmixx.

Jisoo's Flower, And then I got caught up in the Babymonster hype cause of Asa's Godzilla cover. I stopped listening to anything other than f(x) in 2013, and then stopped listening to f(x) once Sulli left in 2015.
