How K-Pop Came Into My Life

K-pop has not been as prominent in my life as I would have liked. Because I've been into J-pop a lot more thoroughly, I never had a lot of time for K-pop and it didn't really interest me.

Oh, jeez...I think it was two years ago when I got into J-pop, and it seems like a short time to most people but it was HELLA long for me. I love Hello Project, and virtually every other Japanese group. I started to cover the songs and dances myself and become more invested in that music industry, until I found myself bored with it and I started looking around Youtube for more songs to cover by randomly clicking on links until I found a song, Bad Girl Good Girl, by miss A, which was my first K-pop song. Then came KARA's songs Jumping and Mister, but I still hadn't told anyone about my beginning obsession.

My best friend Natalie found SNSD then, showing me the song she had began to learn the dance to, which was called Gee. She introduced me to her bias, Yoona, who still is her bias (Random fact: in my story, Naneun Twinkle Tiga Na, I modeled Yoona's personality off of Natalie's). And I told her the truth.

I hated them.

I liked their voices a lot better than the Japanese girls, but they just annoyed me and I couldn't tell them apart AT ALL. So I forgot about them, indulging myself in J-pop even more. Until one day, I saw a link that I thought I'd try.

"Super Junior: (some Korean I couldn't read at the time) _Mr. Simple_MUSICVIDEO"

My thought process was as follows: Oh? Korean boybands? Eh, I'm bored as , I'll try it.....WOAH. OH MY GOSH THEY'RE ALL SO HOT...Except for the fat one....hey! That one has the color hair of Draco Malfoy...DAMN! HE'S GORGEOUS! What's his name...Eunhyuk, huh? Hm...oh, I kinda like that one, too...Leeteuk? He's pretty hot as well...OH MY GOSH WHO'S THAT!!! Siwon???? FEAIOPFEIBFPIEBFIOPWIH SOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yeah. Natalie branched off into liking other groups like Brown Eyed Girls and 4minute and groups like that while still loving her Super Bias, Yoona. My Suju bias became Eunhyuk, and he was my first K-pop bias and the start of my Super Junior obsession. I watched all of their videos, except for "Don't Don" which I still haven't watched because Donghae would always get sick during it and I had started to ship Eunhae and didn't want to see anything bad happen to him. I still didn't really like Shindong or Sungmin, but my top favorites were Eunhyuk, Donghae, Kyuhyun, Siwon, and Ryeowook.

After a couple weeks I became bored of them, and started listening to Girl's Generation. I still couldn't tell them apart, but I started to like their songs a bit better. It would be awhile, though, before I became completely in love with them and Seohyun (my bias). 

After watching Super Junior's "No Other" music video for the 100th time and weeping on the inside about being forever alone, I saw a link that caught my eye in the suggested videos part of the screen.

"SHINee(Korean I still couldn't read)_Hello_MusicVideo" So I clicked.

And I immedeatly found my love for Key, my Super Bias, in that song. 

Thus started my relationship with K-pop, and all of its wonders.

Then, I found myself liking Girl's Generation (FINALLY!!!) And loving Seohyun. Then came...Sorry, I can't really remember, haha....uhm...I think it was 2NE1, and I loved the song Ugly and CL was and is my bias for that group. Afterword, EXO debuted, and I fell for Baekhyun and Kris as soon as I saw them, and then T.O.P in BigBang and Minhyun in NU'EST. I saw the Wonder Girl's movie on Nickolodeon and fell for Sohee completely after that. Or maybe it was before EXO, I don't remember...

ANYWAY,

Thanks for reading this, haha~ I will continue writing my stories and stuff, and I'm going to be working on a few other stories that I'm playing around with currently that will be out soon. All in all, I LOVE K-pop and all of my biases!!
