I AM A SHAWOL AND NO OTHER FANDOM CAN CHANGE THAT!

I know most people won't read this but ... anyway, I just want to express my true feelings.

These past few months have been very tiring, fun, exciting as well as challenging for me. School, exams, quizzes, homeworks, activities, the usual fangirl doings, new groups, more spazzing, blah-blah-blah.

It's been such a hectic period for me (-.-).

But the reason of why I'm making this blog post is because of this certain one thing that  really made me realize about this "alarming" something that has got into me these past few months, as I've said earlier.

At first it was just a tease from my little brother. He told me that I'm no longer a Shawol. His mere basis? Simple. My desktop wallpaper:

I didn't take his words that serious actually. I just told him that I'm still a ShaWol and that, I'm just idolizing another and a new idol group. Something wrong with that?

Even though he really did insist that I'm no longer a ShaWol anymore, I  didn't mind him. Anyway, he's just a kid.

But then  another "strike" was made just this afternoon after our class's very dismissal. It was one of my very close friends who apparently, was another hardcore ShaWol. I'm teasing her of being a Hottest for I saw the "I am a Hottest" words attached in her I.D. She denied it, of course, for she was not, never even once, had been a Hottest ever in her whole fangirling life, and I knew that fact since we both share our thoughts of being a fangirl also.

It was just a tease and I know she knows it too and I'm not making any violent reaction about that scenario and I'm not feeling mad at her either but ... I do admit it. My heart was suddenly crushed when she said "Look who's the EXOTIC now?" and she even added, "Are you still a loyal ShaWol?"
 

I was taken aback. That's another blow. 

But my answer is still the same.

YES. I'm a ShaWol, still a ShaWol and forever a ShaWol.
 

Even though people have been noticing that I've been such a hardcore EXO fan these past few weeks, you/they can't just say that I've already quitted being a ShaWol. No ... they couldn't. In fact to tell the truth, I am not a fan of EXO-K for I'm only into EXO-M and not because I love the whole group but mainly because of Kris and Luhan.

It's that simple. I'm still a ShaWol and staying strong. I'm still in love with the group, still spazzing about them and thirsty of more news about them. I'm still the ShaWol whom the people once knew. The only thing that changed is that, I have found myself another bias. That's it. Something wrong with that?

After thinking for some time, I have finally thought of a question that desperately needs some answering. 

Is it wrong to be a fan of other idol groups?

I'm actually confused now. Is that the true basis of your loyalty to your fandom? The thing that you can't idolize and spazz about the other groups?

Well I have my own opinion; I guess that's not really the basis for it's in the heart of a fangirl to know what fandom she is in, to be honest. And in my  condition, I'm 200% sure that deep down inside my heart, I AM STILL A PROUD SHAWOL. No one, no fandom, none of my minor biases, can ever-ever break that.

​Please help me answer the question. I still need your opinion guys.

​And to my close friend who's anonymously mentioned in this post. If you can ever have the chance of reading this, then I'm glad. (=D) I mean no offense here, 'kay? We're still friends right? RIGHT? RIGHT? :3 Oh please don't ever be mad or else I'll cry rivers of tears. (TT_____________TT)

​To those who'll luckily stumble upon this blogpost, then please let me here your comments. I'd love to have some advice.

​Thank you so much and God bless.

i know what you're going through. SJ was my first kpop group and since then i've been a proud elf but then SHINee debuted and my attention was too much on them. so i got alot from my friends saying I'm no longer an elf and i turned my back from SJ. i admit i was so into shinee that i abandoned sj but yeah people always love to assume things that they think is right. well, they are wrong. BIG MISTAKE because I'm always a proud ELF and will always be. back then i thought SJ would ALWAYS be my #1 group and i have the same fear, afraid if i like other groups, my love for sj will be gone but no, i was wrong. currently I have like 4-5 #1 groups; SJ, SHINee, EXO,INFINITE but my love for sj has never faded. I can NEVER EVER pick between these 4 groups because I love them equally. Yes, those three are TOO good that they instantly jumped into the number one spot same as SJ. It happened again when EXO debuted. I was and am into exo so much nowadays people think i abandon SJ again and SHINee too. Well, the thing is, these spazzing stuffs come with season. Now it's exo season of course i would spazzing on them. And then SJ made their comeback. you have no idea how crazy i was, spazzing on them with my friend in twitter and still eagerly waiting for their repackage album. and as for SHINee, I spazzed on their 2nd SHINee World concert so I didn't really abandon them for exo,right? So yeah, to answer your question it's NOT wrong to be a fan of other groups. it's not wrong to share your fangirl's love with other groups. just be happy being their fan and just ignore what people say because they dont know anything. you know yourself better than anyone else :)

sorry i rambled alot .__. OTL

it's funny, silly even, when people call us "not loyal" when we like other group. it's not like the group's our husband or something that making liking others is cheating on them. we can still support both (or more) groups we like and i'm sure all of them deserve the support.

I seemed to have this same problem too..
SHINee was the first boy band that I listened to and I instantly fell in love with them. But when I started liking other groups, it wasn't the 'same' as SHINee. Other groups didn't amount up to them, that's when I knew that SHINee will always be my favorite group and I would stand by them no matter what. So honestly, it is totally FINE if you like other groups! Why bother about what other people think? As long as you know that you are a true and loyal ShaWol, no one will ever change your mind! ^^
Stay Strong~

This happened to me... but I don't know why I suddenly stopped liking "THAT CERTAIN GROUP" after I realized I can't love other group as much as I love them. It's okay to like other groups... There's nothing wrong with that... So go on. :)) Enjoy every music and every Kpop group that you will see and able to watch.

I don't know but liking and spazzing other group as much as I do with SHINee isn't really applicable to me... But taking into SHINee itself... My brother always teases me about not being a loyal MVP anymore because I started spazzing over Minho (and his freakin hot body and solo performance.). I must admit I came to the point of wanting to see Minho more than Onew... but hey, that doesn't make one's love for the other fade away. XD

Okay.. sorry for being so random sharing my Onew-Minho dilemma. HAHA.
