Yesterday (April 20th) was my one year kpop anniversary!
It feels as if Kpop has been in my life forever :)

What I mean by One year anniversary is that it was a year since I watched my first Kpop video, It might seem weird that I know the date, But I searched my Facebook and found the date that I liked my first SHINee fanpage thingymabob and calculated back from that! because its been one year since I fell in love, I shall share my Kpop story:)

It all started when I had the house to myself and I was bored, so I decided I would paint my nails, but I wanted them to be different I didn't want just one colour nails, So I done what I always do when I need idea's or inspiration or anything, I opened Youtube and searched 'Nail tutorials' and I watched a few, clicking in the side bar for different ideas, Then something caught my eye *SHINee* and from the video thumbnail I could see that something was written on one of the nails. I was curious to see what it was so I clicked it and watched it.

When she wrote SHINee on the finger I was thinking, 'SHINee has to mean something, She can't just randomly make it up'. So then I Youtube'd SHINee, and I saw Hello and, And looking at the thumbnail, I saw someone with curly red hair. So Clicked and watched.

At first I was like 'WTF is this?' Seriously, I was pulling some weird faces at my laptop. Little did I know that them boys would mean so much to me. I watched the rest of the video pulling faces and what not. I was shocked; I didn't know what language they were speaking. I didn't know what they were singing about, I assumed it was something to do with meeting someone. I didn't get the fashion or hairstyles, I was like 'People find this attractive?'. I didn't understand the dancing, I couldn't think of any other boybands who would dance like that. All together, I was Shocked, Scared and confused.

So I clicked off it, trying to forget what I had watched, but the 'Hello, Hello' was stuck in my head, So I put it back on and watched it fully again. I was trying to gather my thoughts it was like; 1. They are Asian. 2. I think they are boys. 3. Hello, Hello. 4. Wow, this is actually good dancing. 5. They are good singers. 6. Hello, Hello. 7. Wow, He has orange hair. 8. Oh more English, Baby girl?. 9. His hair is longer than mine. 10. Its ended. *Presses repeat*.

So it sorta went like that for the next couple of times. I started to see the differences of them, and I thought that 'The boy with the orange hair' is cute. So I clicked 'Lucifer'. I was scared, very scared. I was like 'HOW CAN THESE BE THE SAME PEOPLE'. I didn't watch Lucifer I couldn't handle it. So I googled to find information. I only learned Taemin's name and who he was in Hello.

The next day I found myself wanting to watch it again, So I did and I wanted to try to learn another persons name. So this went on until I learnt and remember all their names, except I was calling Jonghyun J-Jong. I wanted to watch other SHINee videos to see if I could recognize them, So I watched Lucifer, and I could only recognize Jonghyun and Minho. Seriously, I was completely dumbfounded at how different they looked. By Monday, April 25th 2011, I had downloaded Hello on to my iPod and I was ready to show my friends.

That's were it began, It took me about a week/ a week and a half, to tell the members apart in different music videos. Within two weeks from my first viewing of the video, I had fell in love with SHINee. I had fell in love with the music, the dancing, the voices, the video and Taemin. I was hooked on SHINee.

It took me a while to branch of and explore more bands and that. I watched many people the first time I watched SUJU & SNSD, I didn't really like them, now I have loads of their songs, I even consider myself a SONE now, Teehee. The next band I actually liked was ZE:A, and their not very big, but I saw 'Here I am' and freaking loved it! They were my next target. After I learnt ZE:A's names. I looked for another group, I stumbled across Teen Top and 'No more perfume on you', At first I wasn't really into them, and I didn't think they were that attractive, But that song was so catchy the tune was stuck in my head!. I didn't really like girl groups until I watched Miss A's Breathe.

Everything just came along after that and now I feel like Kpop has been in my life forever. If it wasn't for SHINee's Hello, I wouldn't listen to it. I can't imagine life without Kpop. I love being in the know with Twitter trends and Kpop jokes and things. It kinda makes me feel special, Sorta like part of a Family. Woah, Who unleashed the cheese?. Hahaha.

So yeah, That's basically my Kpop story, Its long and boring, But honestly I think it's a different and unique way of discovering something.

I LOVE KPOP.
