going to make this not too long, but how I got into kpop. 

So back into 1997, I was 17, I was flipping through the tv channels one day and I came across and girl group and I was like ooo this song sounds nice and I was like I know it's not japanese since I was into anime at the time and I was used to hearing japanese. but when the m/v ended I was like wth no name to what the group was.

So I went on a hunt of every thing I could think of, asian girl group 4 members, white outfits. etc etc 

it wasnt tell like 4-5 months that video I saw that video again on the same channel. 

I was like maybe it will say the name this time and it did and I looked up all the info on this group and then eventually I found out about a korean music forum that the international fans could go and chat with each other which I am pals with some of them til this very day, one of them I consider my family. But anyways, I started getting into kpop more and more and then I was hooked on a boy group called H.O.T or high five of teenagers. omg I was soooooo deep into them. like I remember one shopping trip I bought 300 dollars worth of h.o.t stuff and the lady gave me a garbage bag so I could carry everything home which I lived about 4 miles away but I walked there and back. so yeah even til this day I have my h.o.t stuff. but yes I got into kpop strictly by chance, just because I was flipping through the channels one day back in 1997.
