When I originally got into kpop, I stanned mostly BGs but now

At the beginning I had zero interest in BGs, now I'm a casual listener of a few.

Ironically the group that got me into Kpop the first time in 2012 is SUJU, but then my favs were majorly GG like Girls Day, SISTAR, T ara , SNSD etc..

And when I re-joined kpop around 2018 BTS was the one that got me, they are still my ultimate but I do like dozen GGs more but the only BGs I like are BTS TXT and Stray Kids

I stan more GGs than BGs, mainly because of their music.

But 80% of the kpop content I watch/read/listen to is BTS. I prefer the BGs I stan (bts, txt, enhypen, nct, stray kids, exo) to GGs in terms of shows and performances, but I prefer GG music overall. I prefer BTS music over all music in kpop.

If that makes sense, lol. I know that's a bit confusing.

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

Me too, and now I don't even stan them anymore, though I still appreciate a lot a few of the members.

Same, I only follow Heechul and Kyuhyun recently

I was introduced to Kpop by one of my friends in 2011 and since she was a boy group stan, she only recommended me Suju, BB and Shinee. I even ended up stanning one boy group but in between I began to listen to girl group music and I stanned my first girl group in 2013 Apink. At first, I was listening to both boy groups and girl groups but after a while, I realized that I was listening to way more girl groups than boy groups so I became a huge girl group stan.

I have been stanning BTS for many years now, they are the only boy group that I care about nowadays, I prefer their music to anyone else in Kpop.

I stan at least 7 girl groups and for some I am in between a stan and a casual fan/listener. I don't have time for them all.

I stan more bgs (3 bgs and 2 ggs)

But I'm a casual listener of more ggs than bgs

Idk i like both bgs and ggs to me theyre about the same once i start liking them, dont think about genders. If i like their music, personalities and skills, why not stan? Now i wonder how mx would be like if they were a girlcrush gg and rv a bg with bright vs sultry concept lol. Definitely would still stan.

nct made me hate bgs

BP first. Then Twice.

Now it's like a dozen groups that i follow and will check out regularly.

As for stanning, i think i have an emotional attachment to Twice and Izone the most right now, BP has faded a bit in terms of engagement. I'll watch Time to Twice every week, i am still going through old Izone content since i only recently became a fan. Music and performances will catch my attention, but fanservice is needed to develop that deep loyalty.

TREASURE is the first group who made me do fandom-related things I didn't do before like votings, forums, and promotions.

I recently decided to fully stan STAYC.

So I have six ults now: BIGBANG, 2NE1, OH MY GIRL, BLACKPINK, TREASURE and STAYC.

And I follow too many groups!

I was mostly boy groups myself, now I only stan one and that's BTS.

I do not have interest in BG music till now

My introduction to Kpop was through SNSD

Right now I mostly stan GGs so they're bigger in quantity but in terms of music and content, I like EXO and NCT more than the GGs I stan to they're bigger in quality

i started with BGs like Bigbang, 2pm, B2st but gradually i prefer GGs more now because of the songs.

BGs used to have pretty good (and less noisy) songs. And also better hiphop songs. That era of having BB, 2pm, B2ST, Infinte, VIXX, BAP, BTS (hip hop era) was so damn good. I cant resonnate with the current BGs

started last year with BlackPink and shortly after Twice, by now I know most relevant GGs to at least some extent

BG do not exist to me

My faves are only GG's and I tend to listen to them more.

I listen casually to a few BG's mostly BTS, TXT, Stray Kids
