Can someone give me a history of Kpopsource? (2 Viewers)

[Drew_B]

How and why was this site created?

And by who?

I know a lot of people fled allkpop and joined this site.

Was this site created from beef with allkpop?

Please educate me on this topic.

Long ago, the k-pop forums lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the allkpop nation attacked...

Keep going! Dont leave me hanging like that.

Remember like a year ago when there was this HUGE meltdown on AKP and a lot of the staff members and users left?
This is where they went.

 

[VillageIdiot]

Then a brave warrior who could master all the elements (Design, Kpopery, Tech, some other fourth thing) defected from allkpop nation in search of new site...

But who took up arms and lead these people out of Egypt? I mean out of allkpop?

Was it @Lovely_Cornchips ?

Nickelodeon is going to sue.

The goddess of tech under the username Son Naeun is our leader.

Great story. Have the movie rights been sold yet?

So does that make @Bae Joo-hyun the virgin Mary? And me Jesus since I'm always saving this place?

I initially wanted to start ks as a blog where i can write about stuff on my own, but along the way my idea didn't materialize as i have no expertise whatsoever, that was at the start of 2016, so i took courses along the way in learning stuff about websites, how to set them up etc, eventually i forget all about my initial idea but i continued taking various courses. I mostly find interesting kpop stuff to read from twitter, somehow i managed to find onehallyu and found a whole different world in online communities. I just mainly lurk around soompi, onehallyu & allkpop.

In 2018 i decided to join allkpop and just figured i will just be a normal member there. I made some friends hanging out in the lounge section but i encountered some undesired individuals which made me went through a phase of depression so i took a break.

As luck would have it during the break, i fractured my ankle while jogging so i had 2 months of medical leave from work. While browsing other websites and missing my friends, i kinda thought to myself that i could create a community of my own with just my friends that i made during my time in allkpop, so i worked myself day and night for almost 3 weeks to create the site & that was how ks got created. I had no beef at all with anyone in allkpop, no warning points, i loved all the mods and users there, its just i can't handle aggression well so i shut myself away from it.

I hope that will satisfy your curiosity.

I dunno, you CAN be Jesus ig but doesn't that mean you will also have to die for our sins?

That is the PR version, above is my much personal story.

 

[Abeamus]

From what I am aware the site was made back in August for people not liking the direction AKP was heading aka trollville. A few members migrated here and there but it wasn't until February when AKP got hacked and the subsequent blow up that a lot migrated from there.

I was exiled myself but honestly I wouldn't go back anyway, I realised since how toxic the environment made me and I definitely shouldn't be getting toxic over kpop which I don't here.

I hope I wasn't one of the ones that caused you stress on allkpop.

You sound like a real sweet heart.

You've done a fantastic job with this place.

We will never let it die.

I would watch this real life K-Drama. It's just a handsome boy missing who will steal all hearts of the users... wait we already have him. It's Tur

[yeji]

our queen @Bae Joo-hyun made this beautiful forum

 

[Mayday]

What's even more impressive is so how well NaEun improves the website based on her users. She's constantly improving KS with new features, and it honestly pays off.

Was it @Lovely_Cornchips ?

I'm honored you remember me XD

But no-my post about leaving AKP though did get a semi-decent response, but it did nothing for KPS.

Wait is this some sort of airbender reference?
