Oliver 22,442 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 For me It was Tell Me by Wonder Girls.. I thought it was so stupid at first and kept making fun of it.. but secretly I was enjoying it.. So i kept following them and that lead me to Super Junior and then Big Bang & 2PM and that is how my Obsession started.. How about you.. How did you first "discover" kpop? What was your impression of it at first? How do you feel about it now looking back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickâ„¢ 1,747 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you first "discover" kpop? Because of SNSD's 1st Japan tour Ariake colloseum What was your impression of it at first? Awesome; I kept replaying the concert like every hour How do you feel about it now looking back? I regret nothing for choosing them as my bias group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anh. 5,127 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 my first song was Big Bang's Haru Haru. I thought it was a pretty good song and ended up getting pulled into more Kpop. however, my first fandom was Super Junior thinking back about it I had such an embarrassing phase when I first started lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macchatea 1,039 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I first discovered it a 4 years ago after seeing several people compare kpop to jpop on youtube videos so I was curious and looked it up. I can't remember which video I watched but obviously it didn't impress me because I didn't come back to it until 2 years later when my cousin showed me a bunch of groups and then became a fan.

MasterOfCider 692 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I got interested, because of Gangnam Style, but I fell in love after I learned about 4Minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Snow 14,255 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My first kpop video was super girl by suju-m and I saw the video while eating mc donalds in times square (they project MVs on the brick wall) way back in 2009. I thought they were chinese singers lol (well they were singing in chinese) and I looked them up on youtube and then I watched more related videos and that's pretty much it. f(x) is the only reason I stay in the kpop community tho tbh. Now looking back, Suju-m must have been pretty popular to play in Mc donalds in times square. Thats like the biggest Mcdonalds in nyc. taeyang in mcds in times square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkish 169 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you "discover" K-POP?An episode of Love Letter with Siwon airing on Thai TV. What was your impression? That they were really attractive. How do you feel looking back at it? Love Letter, X-Man, etc. were some of the best TV shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Was Pon This Wei 2,330 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Irony by the Wonder Girls came out and my older brother was obsessed with the song (and Hyuna and Sohee) and all I listened to was the Korean Hip-Hop scene and my grandmother's trot so then I LOVED Irony and the Wonder Girls and then I became more and more into K-Pop.

A Boy Like Troy 3,333 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you first "discover" kpop? - I discovered it from an X-Men RP forum where this girl used HyunA as her character's model. She posted a vid of Hot Issue and I instantly got addicted. 4Minute became my ultimate Stan until I came across SNSD months later. What was your impression of it at first? -I loved it. I felt like I found something that was amazing and enjoyable. Music that fit my standards in a way. How do you feel about it now looking back? -I feel the same way. I will say that my love has went down a bit since I've got more into it. I think it was a lot better before KPOP Forums and "stanning" and sales and stuff. Best to be just a music lover without all of the extra to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsessedwithOppa 1,406 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 my first song was Big Bang's Haru Haru. I thought it was a pretty good song and ended up getting pulled into more Kpop. however, my first fandom was Super Junior thinking back about it I had such an embarrassing phase when I first started lol Pretty much this ^^ first it was big bang and suju lol I kept listening to acha and mr simple, all the other kpop groups came because I joined tumblr around then and found out about exo's teasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyuritan 594 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My first impression was terrible bc of the rabid fans. People were going off on Kingsley for not using the GG version of Run Devil Run as the background track on one of his videos, it was ridiculous. I went and watched the video myself and forgot about k-pop for a while until I accidentally came across a remix of "I Need a Girl" and I've been a proud VIP ever since. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylight324 154 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I randomly came across few k-pop song (some of which i thought was really weird). But what made me interested in kpop was WG's "so hot". It was the 1st time i came across a song like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joji. 5,062 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My first exposure to K-Pop was when I came across some MBLAQ videos like 4 years ago. I liked them but not enough to check out other K-Pop songs. I thought the sets and videos were lavish and it was strange for me to see guys wearing such obvious makeup (lol). I didn't get into K-Pop fully till mid-2012 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukaishim 855 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you first "discover" kpop? What was your impression of it at first? How do you feel about it now looking back? I was watching some Jrock/visualkei videos and Rising Sun (TVXQ) start to autoplay. That was in 2008 I love it. I remember re-play the song many times. I get obssesed specially with the one who make the high note/screams Great. I mean TVXQ until now is my fav group/duo and Changmin is my fav singer and bias.

mudkip 3 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you first "discover" kpop? I stumbled upon 2NE1/Big Bangs 'Lollipop' a few years ago. What was your impression of it at first? Too many fucking colours. How do you feel about it now looking back? Nothing really, forgot all about kpop for a couple of months and then discovered SNSD and the rest is history.

DeeZee 1,603 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I had just bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I launched the YouTube app, surfed the music section because I'm a music junkie, and I landed on 2NE1's dance practice for "I Am The Best". The rest is history -- I've been hooked ever since. That was almost 3 years ago. First Impression: I don't understand the lyrics, but this song is catchy as fuck!

Miss.Miss 8,896 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you first "discover" kpop? I think it was through a brief stint in j-pop I came across Rising Sun by DBSK. I can't remember how exactly, but I liked it and listened to it for a while. What was your impression of it at first? I checked out other songs of DBSK I think, but RS was my favourite and I didn't really think about k-pop or other groups or even wonder how the rest of korean music sounded like. I moved on quickly to k-dramas (this was my main interest at the time as I was venturing from J-dramas to K-dramas) so most Korean music I listened to from then on were OSTs related and I didn't pay much attention to the artists. Whenever the subject of k-pop came up I just always thought it was some bizzare genre of music that I could never get into but occasionally checked out some songs to see if there would be anything I liked. How do you feel about it now looking back? Looking back like 5/6 years ago I never really thought I would pay so much attention to it but over the years I became more interested and eventually found things I really liked and was lured into it.

Fried Chicken 178 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 How did you first "discover" kpop? I saw Fire, Sorry Sorry and Nobody on TV. What was your impression of it at first? meh How do you feel about it now looking back? I regret nothing, maybe except for the time I defended ELFs and made long-ass comments on facebook to people who had even the slightest hint of hatred/irritation to Kpop.

mamarao 1,345 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I discover kpop because of my roomate back in 2010.she liked snsd and suju a lot so I was curios about kpop and started to read kpop magazine she bought.the first song I listened except Nobody was either gd's heartbreaker or 2pm's thank u and I was like korean language sounded so weird xD If it was not because of bonama mv,I think I'm not into kpop rn.I loved everything about bonamana (the song,the dance,MV and the group ;]) and because of that I started watching other groups MVs and it turned me into kpop fans.It was a great experienced.
