So what initially atrracted you to K-Pop? Why'd you become a K-Pop stan?

Visuals and charms and parasocial drew me in first then the music and colorful concepts and then the choreos then the fun personalities and then fandom culture (the good part). Even if I didn't understand Korean I still liked it. I watched variety shows without subs. I supported by voting or buying albums. I hung posters 😆 I participated in fanwars back then. I defended my faves tooth & nail. I saw them as my ideal type 😆 I raised my standards. Looking back there was some things I'm kinda embarassed of but then again every little bit was part of the journey. I even remember entering my first K-Pop store (Music Plaza in LA) I was so excited. I picked up Run Devil Run, an Apink file holder, and something else forgot lol
