Tell me your 'getting into KPOP' story.

I'm in Kpop since 2008 but my journey started with Jpop and I fall in love with TVXQ (Tohoshinki) at this time because of their vocal and personality.

I learned they were korean and was there for their korean comeback at this time. So my 1st korean song was "mirotic" of them.

Mine was bc of BP, in 2019 kill this love made me a blink, but I geuss blackpink was the last step? like BTS introduced me first to kpop in 2018 one of my best friends was an army(still is) and she told me to listen to mic drop, I really liked that song so I listened to it, then I tried out their other songs(by songs I mean one song ) Dna but I didn't like it so I just listened to mic drop and that was it, then I forgot about it, and then BP in 2019 introduced me again, then I was a gg stan only for a while then I stanned BTS and became a army, after listning to bwl and idol, but I was still A gg stan only other than them since I tried out txt's crown but I didn't like it so I didn't stan any bg other than BTS, than in 2020 Teasure dropped going crazy and I heard that they were BP's younger boygroup so I checked them out, then I liked the song so I checked out their show and t map and then I became a teume and then I tried out SKZ so I stanned and then that was it

I’ve told this story a thousand times . I got into K pop in 2011 through my daughter who was 9 at the time. We were watching TV and SBS Popasia came on and we both started watching it. I liked the music straight away and became a fan of 2nd gen like SuJu, SHINee, 2NE1 etc.

As my daughter got older she grew out of it but still has a few K pop songs in her playlist.

I had a colleague who liked jpop and as I wanted to get closer to her I started listening to jpop (it wasn't my type of music lol). Snsd always showed up in my recommendations and as I didn't like jpop I thought I wouldn't like kpop either but I ended up listening to “I got a boy” at first I thought it was weird but the music didn't leave my head, In the end I heard all the snsd discography

(Sorry for the bad English guys)

No

It would sound like a story of a success stan if I'm being honest

i was watching anime videos on dailymotion and i came across this mv (orange caramel's magic girl) and there were subs in my language... it was 2010. then i found snsd's gee and the rest is history

on tv there was Wonder Girls "Tell Me" i was 8 years old at that time it was 2008, i have liked since it was catchy & girly

but my male friend introduced me to kpop group BigBang and first song I have heard was this

then I got into the rabbit hole

then I have introduced into 2ne1 through BigBang's Lollipop feat 2ne1

then I have found out they were from same company they all got swag & hip hop, i have liked

i have liked other groups as well SHINee, Miss A,T-ara etc. But YG's hip hop, swag & music direction fits more taste

I was looking for a birthday gift for a friend who i knew was a big fan of this one kpop group but i knew nothing about kpop, all i knew was the group she liked was a bg with three letters and were very popular, so I went to a kpop store asked them who was popular with three letters and they pointed to the one who was the most popular at the time—BTS.

Fast forward to a few days before her bday, we went out to eat with friends and this kpop song comes on, it was bts’ fake love. Before I could say anything, two of them turns to bday girl and laughs. Long story short, that was the day i found out about fanwars lmao she did love a bg with a three letter name, only i got the wrong three letters.

Anyway how did i get into kpop? I ended up keeping the bts merch and in an effort to not waste the money i spent, i looked up bts but I didn’t really get hooked until a random day four months later when an old bts performance popped up on my Instagram explore page. It was the Fire performance from mama 2016, it was unlike any stage i’ve ever seen so i looked it up on YT and the rest is history.
