I miss the time when most international fans were....

.... of the quirky, weeaboo-ish, otaku-ish, person-of-culture-ish type (like me)

By weeaboo/otaku, I don't necessarily mean a fan of anime, but the kpop equivalent of weeaboo/otaku (but with kpop instead of anime/jpop)

You would be bullied for liking kpop ... yes ... but it kinda felt like a little club .... or something
