Geez, Am I Getting Older?

K-Pop Ruined My Life...Or Did It? (All My K-Pop Ranting)

Is it just me or are rookie groups becoming a lot younger?

I MEAN, it's pretty obvious why. You know the times are changin' and idols are getting older, but still. It's a little weird to see female idols my age or, like, a year or two older. I feel so...unaccomplished knowing they've trained and whatnot and they're debuting and I'm here, like, being...fat. And lazy.

It's a good thing, I guess. As the years go by, they'll still be young. I mean, Taeminnie debuted at 14 and I was alright with that, but why am I not cool with these girls and boys these days?

I'm a '97 liner, and I THINK there is only Tia and Melanie from Chocolat who are my age. And you have, like, a couple other girls who are '96 and one or two in '98 and you have a bunch in '95. IT'S WEIRD. Maybe it's just me.

I think I'm being hypocritical because if I were to become a trainee right now and debut this year or next year or something, I would be suuuuuuuper excited and happy. I'm jealous of them because they get to do all that. It's so amazing, but it must be tiring like hell T.T I give them props. 

But honestly, for example, why are they putting (two) new member(s) in T-ara? And one of them just turned 14? Obviously, she trained and put a lot of hard work into debuting and her dreams are comin' true, yeah, I mean, she does deserve it. But wait. What kind of songs do T-ara sing about? Love? Break ups? All this mushy gushy adult love stuff and...she's younger than me. I know she worked hard, but personally I don't think it's a good idea to debut her NOW and in an already established (is that the right word?) girl group. 

Why? Why? Why? Why? I feeeel so fat and lazy and, like, I haven't done anything in my life when I look at them. Did you see the new girl group of YG? Yeah, the maknaes are a year older than me and they're freakin' gorgeous and talented. Then...there's me. Smelly old me, lol. Yup, while they live fun, but busy, lives, I have my life, boring and unproductive and it consists of doing NOTHING. AT ALL. 

Oh, and there's also NU'EST. I reeeeally like them. They might be my favourite rookie group this year. However, there's five members, FOUR of them were born in 1995. The leader, JR, is 1995. Uh, what? He's so adorable though. That's only two years older than me.

Never mind, I like it when the boy groups are becoming younger. I think it's just the girls because I can compare myself to them more, lol.

It also stuns me when idols debut at a young age. What the hell? How LONG did you train for? Like, two months? Just kidding. Some of them trained for years! I can't do that. No, no, no. Not me, yo. Can't do ANY of that. While you're dancing and sweating and dying, I'm here. At school. Lame. LAME. I'm so lame.

Uuuuugh, but seriously, if I were to ever become a trainee, I would want to debut at, like, 17...? 16 at the youngest. Ah, shoot, that's next year for me. Like hell I'd be a trainee by then, lol.

I'm big on the SM groups so I don't really know much about Infinite but I fell in LOVE with 'The Chaser' :) I can't tell them apart *sorriez!*

But I get what you mean about the sad part. I've only been into kpop for two years (2010) and when I go back to the earlier kpop days where my Super Junior debuted (2005) I start to almost cry. Their image was so...different and a lot of the members have left since those times.

When I WATCH a kpop video I feel like I'm really close to my boys >_< let's face it (they don't get much screen time in America) LOL

I've watched SHINee's Hello Baby and Yunhanam (the ONLY two shows that had SHINee as a whole), and I've seen several variety shows with Super Junior. They make me laugh and I feel like getting to know them better because they all seem so unique.

~I thank you for making this <3

Yeah I know. I'm surprised Taemin debuted when he was FOURTEEN. Oh my gosh. Back in the replay days when Yunhanam was still running I remember him LOOKING a little bit more mature for his age (I thought Taeminnie was 18 like everyone else) LOL. I don't know. maybe it's just me. XP When I go back and watch Replay (2008)I see puberty has taken it's fine course on baby Taemin and has made him a real man. :) I'm so proud of him <3

I like Zayne Malik like a lot. He looks way exotic and I see his videos on the 1D channel where he sings sometimes and makes covers, I think he has such a smooth awesome voice. He's really talented.

TEUKIE AND CHRIS HEMSWORTH?! LOL well you know, Leeteuk is on the verge of the big 3-0 and he still looks mega fine ;) I want him to make a baby though (I know that sounds wrong) but I feel that fatherhood is slowly ticking away on his clock. Is he even dating? I don't think so...

I just want you to know that I am very sorry I'm spamming this story with my comments LOL.

anyways, YEAH. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. It's the same with me also, dude I have like 9 SUBSCRIPTIONS. N-I-N-E. and you claim to have less than 100?! O_o LOL My problem is very similar to yours, I don't want to offend anybody but there are some badly written fanfics out there that need help in grammer, spelling, and editing. Now, I'm not saying I can do better (my fanfics aren't all that perfect either) but you know, I'd like to have a fic that can fulfill my imaginitive desires :) haha.

ANOTHER thing that bugs me is when someone has an amazing foreword and description and then all of a sudden the story is a mess. The paragraphs are quite un-understandable and that kind.

But you know, this site (like many others) are clearly international, therefore we have people that barely speak any English at all so I applaud them for being brave and trying <3 YAY!!

Thank you for writing this

Same. When I first got into Suju I was viewing these music videos of people commenting things like "My bias this...fishy my bias...baby you're so cute that's why you're my bias..." I was like O_o?? When I figured out what it meant, I immediately found my own biases. From all the idol groups I know,

Super Junior: First it was Kyuhyun, then the visual Siwon caught my eye (his personality is beautiful), and then it turned to Ryeowook (for like 2 days, I don't even know LOL), and then finally Donghae. It's been Donghae for quite awhile now, I don't think it's going to change LOL

SHINee: First it was Minho. Have you seen those eyes?! They can melt anyone's heart from a trillion miles away, and then it turned into Key. Key's diva attitude and sweet smile and how much he cares for his baby Taeminnie and husband Jonghyun...yeah it's all downhill from there

SNSD/Girls Generation: Sooyoung. Sooyoung period. She's gorgeous and needs more recognition.

You just inspired me to blog about my first kpop experience :D Well, your story was pretty cool and what an epic friend you have. My friends know exactly ZERO ZERO about kpop and Super Junior and all that, but it's probably because I live in the states. I live in the WRONG PLACE.
