Chaengster 418 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 BTS: Before i got into kpop, i was only interested in watching kdramas & reading books online. 2 yrs ago, i joined a reading site. Whenever i tried to find something to read, most of the books i found were bts fanfics. It was so frustrating that i decided to read one. Then that same year, i fell in love with hansung(v's character in hwarang) & decided to search him up. Found out he was in bts & got excited becos he was the main character in the fanfic so i checked them out. One of the best things i ever did - Twice: my sister is a huge lia kim fan so she watches her dance covers. One of the covers was TT; she showed it to me & we couldn't get the song out of our heads. I became a fan instantly. It was also the same way i discovered gashina & blackpink. Thanks, lia - Stray kids: Earlier this year, i was searching up some kpop stuff. Then i saw the name stray kids and thought,'cool, i like it'. I read their profile & i was hooked. Decided to listen to hellevator & my life was never the same again - How abt you?

Yoonability 4,159 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 BTS: I found out about them during Blood, Sweat and Tears > already had seen Dope and thought it was awesome but couldn't get into their music otherwise, then I saw some of their Bomb clips and thought they were freakin' hilarious, started to stan Soshi: ironically I remember reading about Tiffany on that STAND anti fansite and I thought she was pretty and I didn't agree with the article calling her a slut for wearing short shorts lmao so I looked up their Tell Me Your Wish performances and loved them Seventeen: a friend recommend them to me Wanna One: I had always heard about the Produce 2 phenomenon but only watched it later on and loved it, instantly fell for Kang Daniel and understood why he's so iconic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miashe 114 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 BTS Was looking for a dungeon guide on youtube for this MMORPG I was playing. The video used Playing with Fire, Fire, and TT as the BGM, I didn't listen to kpop at that time but I thought the songs were cool. I looked up the music videos for all 3, and then 3:33 happened. HYYH series sealed the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddflower 715 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 SHINee: Stumbled upon Ring Ding Dong in 2009. Didn’t stan till View MV NCT: an app called Kpop Amino. They were talking about how they were about to debut. Seventeen: Tumblr in 2013. Fans posted a lot of links to see their pre-debut stuff so I watched them Stray Kids: I remember that on some app (Kpop Amino or Twitter) they were talking about the group having a survival show. Though I didn’t actually watch it until this year. Gfriend: Stumbled upon Glass Bead though I didn’t stan till Fingertip Pentagon: I watched their debut MV and really liked it but didn’t stan till Shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protoplasm 1,854 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I think it was AllKpop that posted when BTS[then RM, Iron, Supreme Boi] released We Are Bulletproof pt.1 and I listened to it. And liked it. Later when BTS was finally announced to debut I thought their name sounded awfully familiar so I looked up and remembered their song. I don't remember how I discovered SVT honestly. I discovered Stray Kids through the announcement of their survival show. I was originally gonna watch it but I had a busy senior year at university and when I was done with it all they were already going to debut so I just checked out Mixtape.

Louise4th 78 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 DBSK - Internet. Through Rising Sun back in 2005. Arashi - Knew them and KATTUN since 2005 but only started getting in the fandom since 2008 because they rose to fame at around the same time with DBSK in Japan. The rivalry were insane SNSD - Since debut (i dropped them around 2015 because their music are no longer what it used to be for me. But still appreciated and respecr them regardless) EXO - Knew them before they debuted BTS - followed them since debuted but got into them around 2015 Red Velvet - Since debut Mamamoo - Since debut but are starting to care less about them as time pass MOMOLAND - Since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
