Hello, I also wanna join this forum ~
I've known Kpop since 2011-2012 because those were the times PSY, SNSD, Bigbang and 2ne1 became immensely popular in our country with their songs Gee, Fire, The Boys, Gangnam Style, and more. Plus Sandara Park was a respected actress here who can speak Tagalog really well and everyone including grandmas know her.
To be honest, I was just 5-6 years old those times. But I grew up with a mom who loves singing and have watched Sandara Park's movies plus a dad who's everyday alarm is Fire so that's what I've always hears and thinking of before I go to school everyday, so what can I do ><. Since then I had a soft heart for Kpop Music and continued to stan lots of Kpop Groups, with also the help of my friend's older sis which is our new neighbor that time. She made me dive more into Kpop while growing up with my best friend HAHAHA.
My ults are Twice, Iz*one, Exo, Itzy, Apink, Red Velvet, IU, and so many more ... These times I'm more into IVE, Enhypen, and a little 2PM (actually going crazy over Junho lmao). I think I know pretty a lot of 2nd-4th gen groups too and I occasionally listen to their songs. I stan groups from 3rd gen the most and those were the times I'm so much into Kpop so that's my fav generation of Kpop.
