Tips you'd give to new kpop fans

I'd tell them to take translations with a grain of salt because they can easily be translated with bias or just focus on the negative and not show the overwhelming amount of positive vice versa.

 

I'd also tell them to not take everything so seriously no matter what it is. Because at the end of the day, it's just idol music. Don't make it your life. Still focus on your studies, job, whatever because K-pop is really easy to get sucked into. 

 

Try to keep an open mind, don't be too sensitive, don't try to think of everything from your point of view culturally. It is a different cultural thus certain things mean different things. 

 

Ummmmmmm stan EXO.

Don't start discussions about who's the number 1 idol group to save you from embarrassment. 

 

Idols get plastic surgery, yes, we know.

 

YG is not our papa.

 

Not all kpop groups are popular in Korea.

1.Don't get too invested, keep your moral scale and beliefs unaffected (you might think this is a ridiculous to mentional as its a logical thing to do but ...).

2.Recognising subjectivity is almost a lost art sometimes on kpop based platforms, so do suggest and oppinionate but not enforce and facualize when it's irrelevant.

3. Don't dismiss other groups at all, you don't have to like the music of your bias only. Also, get in invested in K music as a whole, try different genres.

4. Don't put kpop first, keep it as your source of stress relief and to that end.

5. Your going to learn alot about and be exposed to Korean culture, please do so keeping in mind the limitations as an international fan and the concept of generalisation.

Pour moi,

 

  • If you rely on hair color to tell the members apart, it'll just confuse you when they change later

 

definitely agree with this one.

and i would recommend making friends with older fans, so you know what parts of the fandom to avoid, which jokes are overused and cringey, getting links to old performances and variety show appearances, it's really worth it.

Pour moi,

  • Download your favorite videos if they're not official, they may be deleted or privated later
  • If you rely on hair color to tell the members apart, it'll just confuse you when they change later
  • Don't get too attached to EXO members
  • Buy Odd on iTunes
