Do you ever become hyper aware of kpop around you?

yes, all the time. my school has a lot of kpop stans. just a few days ago i saw a cashier at the store who had a bts mots the journey mask. i heard some kpop song playing in target once but i forgot which one. i feel like it was a red velvet song but i'm not sure. i've heard dyna, fake love, and mic drop on the radio. i saw a girl with a shooky keychain on her backpack, a girl with a bts logo on her backpack, and a girl with bts stickers from ly answer on her laptop at school. the girl with the shooky keychain wore a twice jacket to one of our band concerts too. a girl in my class has a pfp of jungkook's dynamite teaser. and best of all, my band director sang levanter with his choir class and talked about kpop during class. i was honestly surprised about it since i usually only hear about bts, but ig he has some stays in his class. i've never heard/seen anything about any other group in public. when i meet a shawol or hear shinee irl i'll finally be happy.
