How I became a fan #1
written on Friday, November 13, 2015 @ 5:34 AM ✈

Can you believe that it's been 8 years since I found out about SJ's existence and 5 years since I became an avid kpop fan? xD I only became a devoted fan after my O levels which I guess is a good thing ha ha ha.

Warning: GIFs content heavy. If the page lags on your laptop, don't say I didn't warned you ;)



I will never forget how I became a fan of Super Junior (and kpop fan in general) because they are the ones who introduced and pulled me to the Hallyu World. Super Junior is my first kpop boyband that I like but the main reason how I found out about them was when I came across Kyuhyun & Charice A Whole New World video on YT, 8 years ago. Really have to thank the random videos section because if not, I wouldn't have find out about Kyu's and Super Junior's existence!! T_T I was EXTREMELY attracted to Kyu's voice so I decided to google about him and apparently, Kyu was just discharged from the hospital because of the accident. This made me feel more emotional he was on the brink of death but God gave him a second chance to live, hence he is our Miracle Kyu. Anyway, then I found out that he is from Super Junior and I still remember how my reaction was like when I heard the name. "Super Junior? What a weird name?" But still went to google them haha. The first song that I listened to was Miracle and it seemed so foreign to me but I like it so much, especially when the word Miracle means so much to SJ and Kyu.

What made me certain that I'm going to like them was when I watch their variety shows - "Full House", "Explorers Human Body" etc.

Their personalities,


Their humor,




 

They can be funny even without trying hard!

Their bromance....

 


And the things they do to entertain the fans...





Thankyu.

How can you not fall for them?!

However, it took me 3 years (after finding about SJ's existence) to really like Kpop because back then, we have all the Jonas Brothers, David Archuleta, Justin Bieber and knowing me, I'm such a sucker for boy bands and idols :')

I know I've been saying this a lot of times at twitter etc but I wasn't interested in EXO at first. When I heard that SM will be releasing few teasers for this "newly anticipated rookie" I was like "mehhhhh"... However, I couldn't help but to check out their teasers and little did I know that my life will be ruin by these boys T_T

Luhan was the first one who made me thought "Hmm, not bad" when I saw him dancing with Kai. (I thought Kai was overrated at first sobs sorry Kai you deserve all the love rn)



So I decided to give them a chance to impress me and went to listen to What Is Love K ver which was already uploaded by the time I check out on them. I HAD GOOSEBUMPS. I didn't know they are that talented and even thought that Baekhyun sounded like Changmin at first xD When he did the high notes especially.


I then began to show interest and follow up with them, waited for their History and MAMA mvs and even their showcase. I remember streaming their debut showcase when I was on my way to school (no wonder my 3G exceeded like crazy that time) in the bus and I had to control myself from smiling too much.

I mean look at how awkwardly cute they are?


Idk, there's something about them that reminds me of SJ. And it's not helping either that they're SJ juniors :')

I still remember how I found out about BTS's existence. 3 years ago, I had my SIP so Yana, Khal and I were doing our work in the library. As usual, I will side track and go to allkpop (back when allkpop was reliable and not irritating lol) and came across Bangtan's debut teasers. Bighit released the member's teasers one by one and on that day, Jin, Jimin and Jungkook's pictures were released. Yknow how I like sporty guys and Jimin happened to look sporty (okay fine he is sporty heh) in the teasers and I said to Yana who was also checking the pictures out "Hmmm, this guy...not bad, I think I am going to like him lol". Yana also liked Jimin (but in the end fall for Taehyung :B) and wanted to find out more about Bangtan just like I do so we decided to wait for their debut mv. (Khal was not interested fyi hahaha) The three of us were doing our work in the library on the day Bighit decided to release No More Dream mv -_____- We were so excited that we had to control ourselves not to scream when watching the mv because we were in the library!!

 But WE LOST IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED



AND SCREAMED xD Plus, people can actually see what we were watching so when Jimin flashed his abs, we had to make sure there were no one looking xD

However, when I found out about Jimin's age, I was like.....

(Well guys, look at me now, proud to be a noona fan xD)

And when Jimin's washboard abs became a hot topic that time HAHAHA




But my EXO feels were too overwhelming because it was during the Wolf era which was the year all EXO-Ls were thirsty (HAHAHA not kidding bruh) for EXO hence, I fangirled on Bangtan less T_T But.....I came back during Boy In Luv and that's when Jikook happened T_T JIKOOK FEELS STILL GOING STRONG.

I guess back then, I was just a closet fangirl? Because I low key spazz on them? Lol but look who's no longer a closet fangirl xD I AM SO OBVIOUS AND HIGH KEY SPAZZING ABOUT THEM RIGHT NOW SIGH.

Not that I regret anyways because they really deserve to receive all the love from fans. Knowing that they're not from the BIG 3, they had to work extra hard to get the recognition and I'm sure it's paying off right now.

Thankyu for not giving up and always trying your best, Bangtan :)
