Have you changed as an Kpop stan? (1 Viewer)

[EXID]

I honestly have a lot. When I discovered Kpop I spent my whole free time discovering new music/groups, watching dance practises and learning member names. Later I started to spent my whole free time on a forum (the other one )

I also was a huge girl group stan, the only bg stanned was BTS and now I kinda became a boy group stan., or is it mixed? Not really sure.
I'm just not that crazy about it anymore. Maybe it's just because I'm used to it or because the new groups don't really intrigued me. I still love Kpop and listen to it 90% but I became calmer about it .
The only thing that didn't change, I spend way too much money on it

I for the first few years was a BG stan, thought I didn't like cute concepts, claimed to not care about visuals.

Now I stan both BGs and GGs, adore cute concepts and know I have always cared about visuals.

Yeah. It's not shiny (heh.... shiny...... SHINee... heh) and new anymore. I'm set on who my faves are and don't actively look for artists. I like it but I'm not crazy and obsessed with it anymore, which is good in my opinion.

For me... I think I am even more obsessed than I was before, but I am less... frantic or desperate to show it off these days.

It's exactly the same for me to be honest.

I've become a lot more open I think, I know who I stan and I don't stan as many groups but ngl I used to be a little bit of an anti for some groups, though not one of the crazy vocal ones. Now I know that's ridiculous and I appreciate almost all groups even if they're songs aren't my type.

It's kinda crazy how this is the exact opposite for me, at first I was all about girl groups, now I listen to more boy groups

When I first got into K-pop, I was one of those annoying, immature fans that only liked BTS. Now, I’ve since expanded to many other groups and finally found the music I like. I can’t remember the last time I listened to a BTS song anymore.

For the first 3-4 years I was into kpop I only stanned SHINee. I would listen to other groups music but had no interest in getting to most of the groups beyond that. In 2013 I saw a bunch of dudes crawling around on floors and acting bizarre and for some reason deciding that was the next group I'd stan. After that I've just collected groups to love lol

The last few years i've changed my stance on popularity and success. I had originally gotten into kpop because it brought me happiness but constantly getting into fanwars and always competing on views, sales, etc. was exhausting. I've become more of a relaxed fan where I don't feel pressured to buy albums where I really can't afford them. I also don't feel like fighting over trivial stuff just to protect my favs ~honor~ anymore

I've only become more diverse in the groups I like. I spend the same about of time about it and feel the same way about a lot of things. The only thing is that I've started dropping a lot of the ggs I stan. I think I'm becoming more bg biased, but I still stan some ggs.

 

[honeyfornomoney]

Yup, opened up to new groups other than Bigbang and EXO

 

[amourpinks]

I used to be a little bit of a yg stan... so basically I used to be mentally deranged...
And now I’m just a hardcore blink... I like to block that short part of my life out.
I think I’m more calm now about kpop.

I haven't changed in that I still only primarily stan VIXX, but I have changed in that I don't watch everything that VIXX releases anymore, which has been easier with them serving lmao

I used to be really into boy groups and some girl group back when I started listening to KPOP.
Nowadays I listen to mainly gg's, iKON and a ton of KHH and KRnB artists like Samuel Seo.

 

[SeulPika]

Growing less interested in idol groups, but listening to more soloists...

I can happily listen to IU, Wendy, Taeyeon, Eyedi and others on loop. But I have to be in the mood for a group (only exceptions being Red Velvet and Dreamcatcher)

During my first year into Kpop, I was only listening Boy Groups because that’s what my friend recommended me but then I became more of a GG stan minus BTS.
