[Panda]

I would have been a hardcore Wonder Girls stan

 

[Jimimis]

likely none, but if I had to bet it’d be tvxq. I stanned nct solely for taeyong’s face and jaejoong is his twin brother so that’s the best comparison?

 

[rubytrack]

well... I practically did so was a huge 4minute stan

 

[Yili]

hmmm block b infinite shinee would've been out so maybe a casual fan. i'd have liked snsd too. but 2012 for sure bc exo vixx and bap would've secured me for sure

 

[blueberries]

I mean i discovered kpop ten years ago, 2010 to be exact

I was fan of Big Bang, 2PM and 2NE1. Didn't pay attention to new debuts until 2012.

 

[SnowWhite]

I actually DID discover Kpop 10 years ago, to me it was way more interesting back then and I was a more hardcore stan. I used to stan Secret back then, but also causally listened to many other ggs.

 

[Bopper]

I did! I've been a Bana (B1A4) since debut, and been a Pink Panda since 2013. The rest on that list were the groups that kept me in kpop, so I watched their mvs and variety shows.

 

[RandAlThor]

I was a bit longer than that but not much...
but i saw apinks launch.

sone for life)

was all in for snsd but i knew tara, secret kara,, followed most of the groups from IY 1

Ikr, I miss those type of releases and it's sad how much of a short life they had as a group despite how they actually had hits and were doing well...

TS entertainment is all ya need to know.

 

[Willow]

it would have been 2005 for me so idk

 

[eclipsoul]

wonder girls and infinite

 

[PrideInBaek]

Infinite for sure.

 

[Abeamus]

I think I definitely would've been a fan but without EXID it might be hard to sell it to me enough so I became a stan

I read abt kpop n kpop artists many yrs ago; BoA n Rain n another-nut without youtube n only myspace i dint listen to em then. In 2009 i finally watched SNSD's ITNW n intermittently paid attention to some kpop for next 9 yrs until i succumbed n finally stanned SNSD. Wasted so many yrs cos of my lack of knowledge/not knowing abt fan translations/kpop reality shows(except 1 show i tried to watch in 2012 but wasnt compelling to me, i thot it was 2ne1 or 4minute but now im not sure) or kpop forums until 2018. Wish i knew then wat i know now.

 

[Ahsoka]

Shinee was there so yes

 

[PWSwan]

The first time I listened to Kpop was in 2009. I'd received a recommendation for Gee, so I listened to it. I didn't listen to Kpop again until Gangnam Style three years later.
