K-Pop Source — Keeping the K-Pop Forum Spirit Alive

Yeah, I read a lot haha

is fantasy your fav genre? what other genres do you read?

I like a mix of horror, mystery and fantasy

excellent reading is great

so how did you get into kpop my friend?

Selena Gomez, actually
I was a fan of her in 7th grade, and when she released Ice Cream with BP I started listening to them and that kinda just got me hooked

no offence but that's the worst BP TT lol

I do like Selena actually

this is one of my fav songs of hers...

ikr
Like after I got into them I realized they had way better songs
My fav is 'Boombayah'
and my fav Selena song is probably 'Wolves'

nice boombayah is a great song
my fav BP song is probably The Happiest Girl

wolves is a great song

you said you got into kpop in the seventh grade so may I know how old you are (if you aren't comfortable sharing it's all good no biggie)

I just turned 16
so i've been into kpop for about 3 or 4 years?

similar

I got into kpop in 2019 when YT recommended me D4 from BP right before KTL dropped
and I was like this has a lot of views let's give it a shot and I was like woah is that a debazzled tank? and the rest is history

The bedazzled tank was the best part of the m/v

indeed

so what groups are you a fan/stan of?

I ult Twice, Everglow & Itzy, and I stan aespa, Red Velvet, Dreamcatcher and Billlie.

nice I'm a fan of certain GG as well - BP, Twice, RV, Itzy, IVE, LSFM, Gidle, Aespa

I've always asked this question - how do you differ between groups that you stan vs groups that you ult...

I like the sound & concepts of my ults more, and I know more about them. My stans are groups that I'm familiar with but I wouldn't say I know them all too well, y'know? My ults are groups that I feel I know really well.

interesting

personally I never say I'm a stan of any group especially because:

1. I have yet to spend a cent on my favs
2. I don't stream any of their songs
3. I neither attack (nor defend) my favs lol

and the reason a group becomes my fav is that I generally have to like their personalities (at least what we see of it on camera) and their group cohesion since I can listen to basically any music whether GG/BG or otherwise

and I guess the next question is I take it that you consume much more content from your ults than your favs?

Honestly, I feel like it's pretty even
I stream music from a lot of different groups and I buy albums from a lot of different groups, more than just my faves and ults

really? interesting

" I buy albums from a lot of different groups, more than just my faves and ults" huh

I guess the question is how do you decide which albums to buy if they aren't your favs? since I'm assuming you buy all your favs albums

Honestly, albums are difficult for me haha. I get albums from three stores, and sometimes Amazon or KPopUSA. I kinda just grab whatever album I can find at the stores from whatever groups I like, which is how I've ended up with all the LESSERAFIM albums. And since I stan a lot of more popular groups, their albums are all gone by the time I get there, so I have to stick with groups that aren't necessarily on my stan list, but I still like the music of.

really? do you like LSFM? lol
you should they are a pretty cool group - good variety content as well

maybe you can wait until they restock more of them???
do you actually open the albums and even listen to the CDs?
