Hello, there little faces. Today, I decided to talk to you about my new favorite music genre. Everything started a few months ago, through the first lockdown. Covid-19 had just put the whole planet on lockdown, I had watched all ( well – almost all – ) the series that I had on my calendar and I was doing a search on Netflix to find something new to watch. And I found it. Love alarm was the first kdrama that I watched and the next thing that I knew was that I was hooked.
I started watching one kdrama after another and my friend Artemis ( my kdrama/kpop expert ) was more than happy to help me find more series. One of them was the kdrama Extraordinary You which became one of my favorite series! I still remember Artemis, after finishing the show telling me on our chat “You know, the guy who plays Haru is a member of a kpop group. Do you want me to send a song to check them out?”
I’m not gonna lie to you… I didn’t want her to send me anything!! I didn’t like ( you’re free to laugh ) kpop, I didn’t even like BTS!!! ( I just hit myself ). A few years ago someone made me listen to a couple songs of them, that I don’t even remember, but ballads are not my type of music. I like happy or “aggressive” music, so I never gave them a second chance.
But, I have a huge soft spot for Artemis… she’s like my younger sister… and I didn’t want to make her feel sad, so I said to her that “sure, hit me.” It was one song after all… I couldn’t die because I will give 3 minutes of my life to a kpop song. Artemis, without losing time told me that the group’s name was SF9 and the song’s title was Summer Breeze, and long story short, I fell in love! I mean, not literally, but you know. SF9 became my first kpop group in July 2020 and Hwiyoung my first bias ever! ( bias is your favorite member of a group )
After that, I was more open to kpop ( surprise – surprise ). I listened to some other groups such as Stray Kids, EXO, The Boyz… I liked some of their songs but none made me feel like SF9’s music. Until I saw on Artemis’ profile ( I will blame this girl forever ) a short video of a group dancing and I will not lie I asked her “who’s the guy with the abs?”. I was talking about Seonghwa from ATEEZ. The first song that I saw on YouTube of them was Inception. My bias though didn’t become Seonghwa ( forgive me Hwa ) my heart stole it Mingi since the first moment that I heard him rapping on Inception.
After that, I was really sure that my heart had no space for any more kpop groups until I made the “best mistake” of my life and I watched BTS’ Dynamite just because I wanted to see why people are so obsessed with them. In the first seconds of the song, I thought that I started to understand Korean ( lol ), and when the song ended I admitted to myself that it was nice. So, I listened to it again. And again… and again until I caught myself not being able to start my day without listening to it. A few days later I decided that M A Y B E was time to give them a second chance and I checked them out for real. The song that made me stan them though was Dionysus. My bias on BTS couldn’t be anyone else than RM. Namjoon, as his real name is, is probably the only one on this planet whose voice can make me calm when nothing else can work.
So, there… Please, don’t hate me too much for this post… I just wanted to tell “my story” of how I became a k-pop stan. I’m still new, I don’t know some stuff, probably I will continue to do “mistakes” but I’m sure only for one thing. I love those guys ( yes, all of them ) probably more than I should. Tell me your favorite k-pop groups and your favorite bias.
Until next time…
xx Marilita.
