What do you wish you knew about kpop sooner? (1 Viewer)

I wish I knew how terrible companies can treat their artists

2nd gen artists. I would've given anything to be listening to KARA when I was growing up as a kid. Even if I was 1 years old when they debuted

That it was good lol

 

[tai]

That I should stan Shinee

That Jonghyun was going to commit soon after I joined the Shawol fandom. He would've been my bias, too... but it's all good bc I don't listen to them anymore, anyway.

I wish I knew how good T-Ara were and discovered them sooner. Even though I wasn't that late of a fan (I got into sometime in 2013ish I don't remember what song or when in 2013/2012/2014 I became a fan though) I still feel like I missed out on T-Ara's golden years unfortunately.

Also, in a similar vein, I wish I would've been open to listening to more boy groups when I first got into K-Pop because I missed out on a lot artists that I could've gotten into if I wasn't so uncomfortable with my own sexuality. I was so afraid of doing anything "gay" even though I was already out of the closet that I missed out on Infinite, ZE:A, Teen Top, BAP, F.Cuz, MBLAQ, 2PM, U-Kiss, etc. I've gotten over it now, but I regret that that was the reason I decided not to listen to their music because I have definitely done a lot more actually gay things since then lol

I wish I had before a fan during 2005 right before Big Bang started so I could enjoy a lot of the best groups that came during that time period.

Not really about K-pop itself, but I wish I listened to actual albums when I first joined the fandom to get a feel for each group/sound

I wish I had more open to checking out other groups and sounds instead of just stopping at tt. There's so much great work out there in the bsides of even groups you think you don't like.

I wish I knew how discouraged hard rock is on kpop.
