SHITNEY 30 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm curious. How did you guys come around to getting into K-pop? Though I can probably predict your response, it's still interesting hearing people's stories~ As for myself, I was way into anime as a child and way into Jpop up through high school. I heard BoA via Inuyasha and when I looked into her lo and behold I found out she was Korean~ :0 As I got into more of her music, I found out ShiDae was gonna debut within the upcoming weeks. When they did, I was hooked. BoA was my first bias, Soshi my first bias girl group, and Big Bang my first bias boy group. I also got into groups like Wonder Girls and DBSK as I got more invested in my faves. That's my kpop story~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonleexkris 55 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Dropped in after listening to Tohoshinki and FT Island and found myself stuck deep for 5 years before I decided to pull myself up a little but then I got one leg stuck in Jpop too.

Meiqi's Maid 488 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I bought a samsung tablet off Ebay and it had Snsd's Oh MV already on it. I searched for more of Snsd and eventually became a kpop fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotmess 288 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 My best friend made me watch we got married after she introduced me to running man. She told me to watch Yonghwa and Seohyun but I watched Khuntoria instead cause I recognised Khun from all the running man episodes that he appeared on. Liked him, found out that he's in 2PM and I'm hooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyami 642 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Only got into Kpop relatively recently (2 years ago?). I was playing alot of counterstrike at the time and some guy had an program where he could play songs continously from his computer. Most of it was crap and mostly he did it to annoy us teammates but then we said 'put something good on' and he came up with some kpop songs such as Fire from 2NE1 and Genie from SNSD. Before that I barely know of the existence of Kpop.. I only knew Psy ofcourse.. After that I was hooked though.. so basically via Counterstrike lol.

Elle Eaux Elle 2,298 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I just randomly stumbled upon SHINee's Lucifer one day on YouTube, and then later when I saw SNSD's Run Devil Run, I was hooked. I was also into anime before that. SNSD were my only faves for a year and a half or so, then I started to get invested in many other groups (Rainbow, Nine Muses, Girl's Day, After School etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXOSUS 2,534 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 My classmates were ELFs. I often heard them talking bad about some girls named SNSD. I got curious, I didn't know who were those girls and how did they deserved so much hate and looked them up It was 2008 when everyone and their mothers are SNSD's antis But I didn't get into any Kpop's fandom until Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alllysone 3,343 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 By accident. I guess you always end up finding good stuff when you least expected it. Previously, I didn't really had a good impression of Kpop in general. Late night surfing around Youtube. Stumbled upon Soshi's Intimate Note variety show. Started watching it and never looked back again. I got interested in the girls and started listening to their songs. Slowly, it went from curiosity to obsession lol. As I went on, I started listening to more Kpop groups like Apink, Infinite, Exo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight 1,108 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 In late 2010/early 2011 I saw people on a site I was on talking about Kpop. I looked up a few songs and I only liked some of them, one of them being Mirotic. Then I kind of forgot about Kpop for awhile. In June or July of 2011, on the same site again, I saw Kpop mentioned again. This time it was SHINee. I searched them on Youtube and found the MV for Lucifer. I loved it and listened to some of their other songs. I liked all of the ones that I listened to except for Hello(which I like now, actually). I bought a few on iTunes and put them on my iPod. I listened to the songs from time to time, but didn't really go any further into Kpop. 2012 was the year that I finally became a fan of Kpop. It was June of 2012, about a year after I discovered SHINee. I saw someone mention SHINee's Sherlock MV, and went to watch it since I hadn't seen it. I liked it a lot and remembered how much I'd liked their other songs, so I decided that maybe I should learn a bit more about the group. I watched some shows with them on it. Which seemed a bit weird at first since I hadn't watched Korean shows before, but I quickly adapted. I focused mainly on SHINee for 2-3 months and then I started to look into other Kpop groups. I had already found a few others that I liked, such as F(x), Big Bang, and 2NE1, but I hadn't put in very much effort. I started to get interested in 2012 rookies, because, well, they were new to being Kpop idols and I was new to being a Kpop fan, so why not? That's what lead me to the discovery of Exo and VIXX, two of my current favorite groups. I also liked Nu'est, BtoB, and EXID a lot at the time. Nu'est was actually the first 2012 rookie I liked, Face being one of the first non-SHINee songs that I found and liked. Mm, that probably sums it up, hopefully I didn't forget anything, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marieana 343 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 We almost have the same KPOP story... My sister went to Japan and she had this BOA album, it's Valenti... I came to like her... then I found out she's Korean and my KPOP story goes on... Although IU is my kpop favorite, and f(x) is my favorite girl group, D.O. and K.Will as my favorite male singer, I will always like and respect Boa...
