Display MoreI'm sure we've all had different experiences when it comes to kpop and there is nothing that contributes more to a community than shared experiences so share with us (me) your K-POP journey to date and what artist(s) has influenced or shaped your perception of the music indstry, more specifically, KPOP.
It will take multiple essays to sum up my kpop journey so I will just make a timeline:
Jonghyun > SHINee > BTS > EXO > Kai > STAYC > KANG DANIEL > BLACKPINK > ITZY > NCT 127 > APINK > NewJeans > SEVENTEEN & LE SSERAFIM > ILLIT > AMPERS&ONE > now
All the groups listed above have in some way or another shaped my perception of KPOP because now I am able to visualize, understand, and appreciate the art in the diversity of music and how each genre has, in some shape or form, made contributions to each other. Now I fully realize that the music world is interdependent. That interdependency is what fosters and upholds music as a whole.
Feel free to share however many essays you want.
It all started with Yoona and Krystal in their Kdramas and I later found out that they were kpop idols and that Krystal had an Snsd sister, Jessica, who was in the same group as Yoona.
The rest is history.
