Sometimes it just hits me
Because like normally my dedication and knowledge of kpop doesn't stand out bcs I am talk about kpop with ppl who are similarly... obsessed
So having a wide array of knowledge related to kpop doesn't stand out

But every now and again I talk to a new fan or a non-fan and it just hits me
I know.... wayyy too much about kpop

like... knowing every member of a group I don't stan
Knowing how a group I don't stan came to be + how well their comeback is doing + how that compares to their last comeback

Like... it also hits me when I realize that the first thing I wanna know when a new group debuts, is their company. Or well normally I find out about a new group as company X's new group lmao
And it hits me even more when I realize it makes SENSE for me to wanna know the company, bcs that tells you so much about a group! What they'll most likely be good at, what they'll be bad at. What to expect from a release etc...

I've been getting a friend into kpop recently and I have had to literally hold back to not just bury them in information about the trainee system and how it differs from company to company and how and why these 2 idols are friends bcs they trained together at company y before they both left and why they left etc etc

I really could go on forever about kpop I feel like.... Maybe I should write a lecture about kpop... or two... or ten, fuck it, I should make a whole class about kpop

Anyways this was Maru making a thread for the first time in months I think at 8am after not having slept the whole night

like you never realize how much NOT a casual fan you are, until you talk to a casual and realize you know more about their faves than they do :taesip:

Explaining to my doctor the concept of NCT and making sure she knew that Taeil and Kun are the best boys while getting a check-up really made me take a step back like "wtf are you doing" :teatea:

NO HYBE GETS NO CREDIT FOR THAT
The boys were looking fine af before and still look fine af now, that just means HYBE hasn't fucked THIS PART up yet :reallysadcat:
I still haven't forgiven HYBE for fucking up Ready to love, the merch, the YT channel, the relationship with MBC and so much more
