My name is joyce  and I am a huge fan of KPOP. KPOP is an abbreviation of Korean pop which is a musical genre originating in South Korea. I started becoming a KPOP fan girl from 2006 until now. Before I am so into KPOP i used to be die-hard fan of Chris brown.Basically I enjoy watching his music videos imitate his dances move and all and also I also love to watch Korean drama 's with my Dad.The western music nowadays is getting exceedingly meaningless and does not attach to my soul and emotions. It was on sept 26 2008 when I accidentally watched the MIROTIC Music video by DBSK. DBSK is one of the famous male group consists of 5 members in South Korea during that time.The first 20 seconds of the video was enough to convert me into a DBSK and a KPOP fan in general. The music video was beautifully made. It looked so fresh and their dance choreography was so intense and hot but not too rated to watch.I can still remember my first reaction after watching the music video. The past 5 years of my fangirl life had its ups and downs, joy and tears, excitement and fulfillment. One thing for sure, I do not regret every single moment of it. Some would say I kind of wasted my 9 years of my life for being KPO fan. One who does not experience it would surely never understand how I feel. The journey helped me learn more, gain more, and enhance my skills more. I would like to thank KPOP because I was able to meet the most resourceful version of me. Being a fangirl is not a waiting game and expects things to happen. You make it happen. If you want albums or merchandise, you save for it and find way to buy it. If you want to watch videos or listen to songs, you search for it. If you want to see your favorite groups, watch their concerts, fan meeting and other showcases. All those I mentioned are easier said than done. That is why a fangirl must work smart for it. It taught how to spend money wisely. At age of 25 I think I am very convinced that the best things in life are not free especially a fangirl’s life. For the past 9 years I have been budgeting like crazy just to fulfill my priorities. That is they key having your priorities. There are things you really want and there are things you cannot live without it. Try to identify those you cannot live without and prioritize them. When I said earlier that I had no regrets with the experience, it was because I only do what is worth for me. I met a lot of great fangirls and fanboys around the world in social networking especially in Tumblr and facebook who I also cherish as friends. What we did was we will always talk about our favorite KPOP celebrities 24/7. Sometimes I feel like they know me better than my real life friends. To be honest I am very sad because most of my best friends do not like KPOP. I always ask for advice from my KPOP fangirl friends on facebook because some of my facebook are the best oh don't forget my Instagram Friends. When I feel depressed they always make me happy by talking about our favorite KPOP idols.We will share some fan fiction between each other.(specially overrated fanfics ) Sometimes I really want to meet them in person. It is nice to find people who share the same passion as yours. In the world of KPOP, you can meet a lot of people online, fan events, gatherings, concerts and more. The simple conversation about your bias group can lead to a very fruitful friendship. I was lucky enough to know some people along the way and eventually became my friends. KPOP also taught me to see the world in open minded. The KPOP fandom is like an independent community from the real world where people have different insights and opinions. The most important thing that ever happens to me was I improved my English a lot by making friend with them. Communicating with other fangirls and fanboys had enlightened me with other people’s culture,practices, and beliefs. KPOP is globally acknowledged and each person is different. I was fortunate to get to know a lot of different people because of my love for KPOP. As u can tell, if not for KPOP I would not have experienced this journey. It is not really how KPOP changed me but how KPOP helped me acquire and learn all those things that I know will be helpful in the future. But for now, thank you KPOP! For everything!being a KPOP fan is not easy but it's worth it.

I would like to thank my first Fandom and first Bias... I've learned a lot.

To all my readers and also my friends thank you so much for being so kind and nice to me..
