Kpop Thread
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2016 5:31 pm
I was just lurking through the threads and realized there wasn't a Kpop thread. So I thought of starting one. I'm not active nor knowledgeable about Kpop at all. I'm into 1 group only so I'm not a good source of any info or anything like that. But that group's music did help me a lot when I was super into them so I wanted to learn more about my co-Deppy fans (phans?) who are also into Kpop on what their opinions are on the different girl groups and boy groups, their music, MVs, dance routines, fans' recommendations, the Kpop culture in general, etc. I love hearing analysis from people, so I thought why not start the thread? You can also say how and why you got into Kpop or the groups you're into.
So I'll start. I was actually a Bigbang . My bias is Seungri because I like his personality. He's very vibrant and positive despite all the negative criticisms about him. I feel like he works hard at keeping the fans feel more connected to the group, and he adds a human touch to an otherwise intimidating group. I can go on and on about why I love him so I'll stop here. I was a casual fan until the MADE series, when my sister, who was a bigger fan, convinced our parents to buy us tickets, so we were able to go to their concert in my country. The concert was awesome and I was at the edge of my seat the entire time screaming my heart out. It also felt nice to be in a community that, despite the language barrier, felt united by a common love for these foreigners and their music. Everyone started singing Haru Haru and even if I knew I mispronounced a lot of the words (and even made up some of my own like Phil. xD), it was indescribable in the best way possible. Bigbang's music is literally what I only listen to when I study because I find it hard to concentrate when I understand the words of the music I listen to, so it's been my crutch whenever I have to study with people around me. But the translations of their songs (especially Blue) are so beautiful. GD is such a gifted songwriter. Even his play on words are incredible.
Not sure if a thread like this is allowed. If it's not, I'd gladly let the admins delete the thread. Hoping to hear from the other Kpop fans here.
