Is it also the same with everyone else??
My first exposure to Korean entertainment was back at my middle school. My cousins used to watch some kdramas and some kpop songs. At that time I didn't had much interest in them.I seriously started liking and watching kpop after my high school which is now. Till now I have only watched bts song and some songs of got7.
The main problem here is that kpop are not so popular here in my country. Korean fashions and some other stuff ate quite liked and accepted by teenagers like us but our parents look at kpop songs like they are aliens singing.
Whenever I'm listening to bts song my mom will asks me like for the hundreth time,"is it Japanese or Chinese or Korean?" and I need to calm myself and reply that "mom its Korean how many times I have to tell you that." This conversation happens mostly everyday. My dad isn't quite interested in my choice of music as he himself had once learnt Japanese. So he doesn't bother much. Once I was drawing a sketch of jungkook and I was really pissed because I could not get his nose right. My mom was literally behind me asking me whose picture I was drawing. I said it is a singer and she again asked Japanese?? Oh for god sake mom its KOREAN.
My friends are also always teasing me that I was listening to kpop. At one point I couldn't take it anymore and I force one of my friends to watch bts no more dream and dope and she instantly fell in love with the beats of songs , the dance and flips.
Gods knows how many times I have to convice and prove people that I don't need to know the language to listen to kpop. Music doesn't need language, right
