What got you so interested in Korea?

My roommates in college turned me on to Kpop and from there it was an easy transition into dramas (Coffee Prince with Gong Yoo). The language is beautiful and I love how I pick up words and phrases while watching!

When I became a casual kpop fan I got interested more and more in Korea. But I started as a Japan lover. I think both languages are beautiful.

Baseball. I first became interested in Japan because I love baseball and they love baseball and because Ichiro was my favorite player. Through this I ended up obsessed with anime and manga and the like, not dramas though. Only more recently I also gained more of an interest in Korea as a wave of Korean players made it over to MLB in the states in the past couple of years, and this led to discovering their dramas.

KPOP (EXO) actually. But if you wanna go all the way to the beginning, probably anime? KPOP idols are probably the closest living beings to anime characters regarding looks (moreso than the usual cosplayer tbh), so I remember that getting me hooked. 

I went from anime and manga to KPOP, Kdramas, and Jdramas. I'm not a huge movie watcher, but I get a few in as well.

Well, the first drama I watched was Jewel in the Palace and I fell in love with the palace,gardens, small Jeju Island...Honestly, I was in middle school back then maybe that's why I was so impressed and kinda exaggerated what I saw. ^^

I just casually enjoyed their dramas and movies but never got fully interested until I watched season 1 of variety show 1 Night 2 Days. I have now reached the point where I'm trying to learn the language myself :)

KDramas, before I started to watch those I did not know much about Korea or about its history.
