When did you start stanning your faves?

BTS - May 2017, Enhypen - 18 September 2020, the day it was formed.

bts since 2018, knew them since the end of 2017

enhypen: begin 2021. I didn't care about I-LAND so I only watched a week after it ended. I only saw some clips on youtube. Some (popular) contestants that I did see didn't impress me so I didn't want to watch it but I got curious when I saw the line up was full of people I haven't seen before and I ended up liking them more than the ones I saw. From the ones I knew, I only liked Sunoo (didn't knew the others well) but I thought he wouldn't make it, because he was in ground, which made me avoid watching it.

twice: when fancy came out

I started stanning april around may 2017, when they had their mayday come back.

Nct 127 in may 2018.

Then superm was with their debut back in 2019.

And aespa also at debut last year.

Seems like I picked up a new group to Stan every year lmao since I've been into K-pop.

Though 2021 didn't bring me any groups I wanted to Stan.

Started stanning NCT during Kick It era.

EXO since 2014, so pretty early into their career

Stray Kids I've only followed for a little bit over a month

BLACKPINK - Fall 2019 - I heard "Kill This Love" on a bus one day. I had no idea it was a K-Pop song and aside from "Gangham Style", had never heard any other K-Pop song before. I searched it up later, liked it and checked out more of their songs, which I also liked. I moved on a couple days later, only occasionally listening to one of their songs, no idea why. When quarantine hit where I live in March 2020, I became bored, so I researched more into BLACKPINK. They became the first group I stanned and are, to this day, the only group where I have listened to all of their songs (so far, I'll probably change that in the future). They'll always have a special place in my heart.

BTS - Late 2019 or Early 2020 - I knew BTS were popular, but hadn't heard of many of their songs, aside from the super, super popular ones (think "Boy With Luv"). I used to listen to a bunch of BP x BTS mashups on YouTube, which was how I discovered more BTS songs. I forget exactly when I started stanning BTS exactly, unfortunately. I've kind of drifted away from them a bit, but I still like them and their music. The second group I stanned.

Stray Kids - September or October 2020 - My most recently stanned group. Got into them pretty much right after God's Menu era ended. Discovered them because as I was watching a K-Pop reactor, a bunch of the comments were telling him to check out that song. As in literal dozens. I found it annoying and decided to ignore them. Later checked out the song due to my own curiosity and found out it was actually pretty good. Listened to more and more of their songs and liked them. Discovered "Chan's Room" and that was the final factor in me deciding to stan.

This is the very brief and surface level version for each group. I can go more in depth one day if you'd like me to. I also, of course, listen to literally dozens of groups casually, but just haven't stanned them yet out of laziness (Ateez, TWICE, Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Jessi, Somi, Chungha, Sunmi, WayV, NCT, SuperM, Aespa, Hyuna, IOI and more I'm sure I'm forgetting) but I plan to one day. Have a great day/night!

started to stan SHINee in 2010 when they had their Lucifer cb.

I listen to kpop since middle 2010, Super Junior introduced me to it, so I onyl followed SuJu and then SHInee came after my soul.

I stan Hoppipolla since this year.

first got to know them in 2018, and stanned them in 2019!!

been BTS casual listener since 2017,
But I start stanning them in Feb 2020
