5 THOUGHTS ON KPOP
(only using an old banner because I have no time to make a new one, and i like this banner too)
On the outside fangirls might seem crazy for going all out for their idols, but kpop has made life a lot easier to handle for a lot of people. And that sometimes, is the reason why we dive ourselves in to the world of Kpop.
1. Kpop taught me it was okay to be awkward.
I love my awkward idols. Sohee was so awkward in Wonder Bakery, Yesung was just an awkward turtle in general, all their phails on variety show thought me it was okay to make a fool of myself once in a while. Nobody would look on me any less and still love me for the fail whale that I am. They aren't perfect robots but embarrassed human beings like us too.
2. I can become pretty too.
This is 2NE1.
This is how 2NE1 used to look.
I love this picture. It s a very good picture to illustrate my point on how dressing up and putting makeup can improve one's appearance.
Not to the point of this
but significantly enough.
3. Collecting cars is a perfectly reasonable hobby.
Eunhyuk, in Full House, said his hobby was collecting cars. I love Kpop because it makes me laugh. It makes me happy when I have had a bad day.
Their variety shows don't take themselves too seriously. Most of their idols don't carry that idol baggage around a.k.a Fahrenheit (a mando popband)
Running man is totally the best show to watch after a shitty day at work. It never fails to put a smile on my face or make me clap in delight.
4. The Fandoms.
I am an ELF. I have participated in plenty of Super Junior activities. What is awesome about Kpop fandoms is that they usually have an official colour. Going to an SJ concert and looking at the sapphire blue ocean makes me proud to be in the fandom, supporting my idol.
People in the fandom support each other, are willing to get to know each other and make friends just based on the pretext we like the same group.
It lets me know, I am not alone. Kpop brings people together. I have made a lot of new friends that way.
I'm pretty sure the other VIPs, SONEs, Cassiopeia, Shawols etc will feel the same way.
5. I will have false hopes.
That is unfortunately the ultimate downside to Kpop. I now live with the knowledge that guys like NichKhun, Lee Seung Gi and Jung Yun Ho exist. I now also live with the expectation that I would meet a guy like these perfect men and be able to marry them.
What's worse is that Korean Dramas perpetuate that notion by even suggesting that any protaganist (rich or ugly or has some extremely sad life) will and can end up with a happily ever ending. Life has also gotten X81371384 more difficult for the kpop fan girl.
6. People rarely feel bored.
Things are constantly changing in the world of kpop. They happen fast and furious and oh so exciting (Think T-ara). Anyway, besides it being such a dynamic environment there are plenty of thigns to do. Watch Korean Drams, Variety Shows, read up on your idols in forums, go make friends in forums, do artwork etc. The list never ends. There is never a dull moment in the world of Kpop which means that you will not be wasting your time doing drugs or out doing illegal things.
If I get any more thoughts, will definitely share them again as part 2. Till then, let's go look at some pretty girl group photos.

"I grew 20cm in a year by drinking banana milk." - Nana, After School/Orange Caramel
News Asia, August 2010
"Yubin takes in everything. Because of that, I would always whine and let my anger out on her, saying that I’m tired. She would always be understanding, so I’m sorry.” - YeEun, Wonder Girls
Mnet Made in Wonder Girls, October 2010
"The music of ‘Love Light’ was written some time ago. When I thought of you (Seohyun), I started to put in the lyrics for the song. For the rap part, I thought of SNSD’s ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ and that was how ‘I’m genie for you girl’ came about.” - YongHwa, C.N Blue
Confession to Seohyun (SNSD) on MBC's WGM, 9 October 2010
"I really thought you were a tree."- Leeteuk, Super Junior
in response to Eunhyuk wearing brown from head to toe during their trainee days; KBS Sukira Radio, 20 October 2010
“I think, not just Thai people, but anybody could be in my spot. Because I started below zero, you know; I had no singing background, no dancing, nothing. I think it's a matter of how hard you work and how much you want it.”
-Nickhun, 2PM
(Nichkhun: The 'shy little boy' turned K-Pop sensation, CNNgo, 8 November 2010)
“If there’s one thing we genuinely wish for, it’s for all nine of our SNSD members to go together until the end.”
-Girls' Generation
(In an interview after winning Golden Disk Daesang awards, Daily Sports News
, 9 December 2010)
“Minho hyung has big eyes, well-defined features, and good style. So I thought he was not a Korean (laugh). He stuttered when he talked to me maybe because he’s introverted, so I thought he’s younger than me. Key hyung made a strong impression from the beginning for his showy fashion (laugh).”
-Taemin, SHINee
(Japanese Magazine ORISUTA,June 2011)
“My baby tummy which was a patent of mine disappeared suddenly one day. Our fans said my tummy then was cute, but where has it gone?”
-Sungyeol,INFINITE
(INKIGAYO MAGAZINE,August 2011)
“We don’t really think of ourselves as rivals with SNSD. There are things they can do, and we have things we can do… I hope each can become a group that can be a source of strength and consolation for many people.”
-SunYe,Wonder Girls
(MBN INTERVIEW,November 2011)
