What are your happiest memories as a K-Pop fan?

  • There has been too much tension, too much drama lately, so I, YamaChan, am committing to being a harbinger of peace and love for the rest of the month. K-Pop should be all about having fun engaging with each other and creating a community of people who just like K-Pop :holding-back-tears:


    So what are your happiest memories, my friends?


    I would love to hear from the resident Forum Elder BlackpinkHouse and our maknae Taemin-Identity


    For me, it's actually extremely difficult to pick a happy memory with Mamamoo. I have a decade's worth to choose from, filled with fanmeetings, concerts, MooMoo meetups and all kinds of crazy adventures.


    But I'll pick the Moosical Concert: Curtain Call in 2017. It was my first full Mamamoo concert, not a fanmeeting or K-Con, and it was my first time in Seoul.


    I did 3 straight days of standing seats, explored Seoul, linked up with MooMoo friends I'd made at previous events, was treated very wholesomely by K-MooMoos who translated things into English for me in line queues, became kind of a meme with the venue staff, especially when I checked in for the 3rd straight day--it was just a true once in a lifetime experience :holding-back-tears:


    If I pick a NewJeans memory, it's Lollapalooza. Enough said. I have great regret that it's simply not feasible to go to HK to see the NJZ re-debut in person.


    Everyone else please share your memories! Be the positive change you want to see in our community, like yours truly :pepe-toast:

  • It was first time when my parents allowed me to take Korean lessons in 2019. I was so happy, because I was surrounded by people who shared the same interest as me, and by learning the language my access to kpop became much easier.


    Also, the first time I sang Korean songs to my grandma. I visited my grandma pretty often, and I sang for her, songs from Ailee and Taemin. She was genuinely happy listening to me, so it made me happier and my love for kpop became bigger and bigger. I always sang Kpop and korean songs for my grandma since then.

  • Also in 2017 when I was in the worst state of my mental health and following EXO's The War era was the only thing that really didn't remember me of what I was going through and made me happy.

    Mamamoo did something similar for me in 2015/2016.


    It's why I don't let anyone even think of talking down to me about my passion for music and K-Pop in particular. Having something to immerse yourself in and provide an outlet and escape from life's often harsh realities is invaluable.


    K-Pop, and specifically Mamamoo, got me traveling the country, making new friends, bonding with fellow fans and even becoming a content creator for a few years. And got me through a miserable period of my life at the time too

  • The Official Mamamoo Thread on OH connected me with MooMoos I've been friends with for as many years as Mamamoo have been active. You missed out.


    We still check in with each other and wish each other happy birthday even in years where our paths don't cross

    That's true, but I missed out on the hate train and toxicity as well.


    I have many Moo friends without SNS. I mean, technically that's not true, because I used Facebook Groups, but that's all basically. I know most of them because we met at a concert. Not Mamamoo concert, sadly.😅

  • When I secured my floor seat to MOTS in Soldier Stadium Chicago. When the pandemic started, I was an idiot thinking this will last a few months and the tour would be back on. :hooddoge:

  • specific memories idrk but I guess the most enjoyable period was first really getting into kpop in 2020 during covid and BP's HYLT/album comeback. I had started listening to them in 2018 but that was pretty much all I did was listen, didn't follow comebacks or watch performances or variety content until that time. Didn't know other groups except a few Twice songs. Though I would say the same for other hobbies as well like anime, you sort of have that honeymoon phase in the beginning where everything is fresh and original I guess.


    also April 1st, 2024, the official debut of babymonster! I was going through life stuff at the time so having them, and even this forum, was a nice escape.

    Do we have a future SM trainee in our midst? :eyes:


    But seriously, that's really cute. I'm sure that makes your grandmother's day every time you sing for her. Don't stop anytime soon.

    That's true, but I missed out on the hate train and toxicity as well.

    I'm proud to say there was no toxicity in the MMM thread. Just good vibes and good times.


    That first time we all met at KCON NY 2016 was hilarious, since we had never seen each other in person until that day :boompepe:

    That's something you can brag about forever though. I've been through the concert tickets purchase experience many, many times and it's worse than The Hunger Games.


    You can plan and execute everything perfectly and still miss out

    I was talking about the whole Kpop fandom in general. I'm sure it wasn't much better back in the days either than now.


    When you're at home chatting with other Moos online:
