I'd be spending parts of my summers in SK with my mom back then (we used to go a lot more often when i was younger). My cousins introduced me to 2NE1's Fire. I liked it and brought the cd back with me in Arizona. Other kids were making fun of me, my friends thought i was an alien and, as they were already mocking me about my "funny" eyes on top of it, i gave up on Kpop for a while cauz it had brought me bad luck and i simply put it away. I picked it up again in HS in 2012. This time i held my own and kicked anyone in my way! I had grown up to 5'10 and they were scared of me LOLLL So yeah, let's say i've been listening to Kpop full time for 11 years now ;) So I was laughed at for being half-asian in America and laughed at for being half-asian in sk. Now you know why I had nothing better to do than to pull 8 years of college to validate myself in this world!
