Here I'mma talk about how i got into the fandom, and my tastes in kpop biases lol. I'll make out a list of who i like too.
Okay, so I got into the kpop fandom on April 23rd 2011. The reason why I remember is because it my uniformed unit at school decided to dance SHINee's Lucifer for the teacher's day performance. Because my cousins were already Kpop addicts I had the idea of what the fandom was about, and heard about SHINee before. First reaction: "Shiny?? Why the hell would they give such a name to a boy group instead of a girl group? lololol "
After receiving the news I checked out the dance version right away. I like to dance too but haven't been dancing formally for around five years, so the dance version got me excited.
I didn't really like the kpop thing at first because thats about the only thing that my two favorite cousins talk about and watch the whole day online. To me, it looked more like a waste of time and internet usage, and I was more loyal towards my manga stuff and anime songs. I had heard and even tried to dance NU ABO two years back but the fandom didn't really attracted my attention.
One of my best friends was a Shawol with an obsession with Taemin (when she had her own computer at home the first time, there wasn't an internet connection yet and the only entertaining thing in her new laptop was a HD music video of Lucifer, so she actually ended up watching that ten times a day lol), and she won't stop talking about SHINess either. "Oh dears another kpop fan..." I thought. Not that its bad, but the fact that they won't stop talking about it was a tad bit annoying...
At my cousin's I was repeating the dance practice video of Lucifer for a few times to learn the dance, it turned out to be quite enjoyable than expected, and it was rather easy to keep up with the cool dance, and the song was addicting too... then I noticed Taemin's super-cute smile...then I found myself admiring Jonghyun's shoulders instead dancing (and that was the main reason I checked out their member's profile too LOL) After finding more about the group, it was worth it to find Jonghyun such a hot eye-candy, so I stayed in the fandom LOLOL
Though I was watching only Jjong at first, my first true bias idol was KEY : D He was the first one I went crazy over. I even printed an A4-sized picture of him for the cover of my school file, so I can stare at him everyday xD I was never really obsessed about idols(or even real people, for that matter) and it was the first time I put anything aside from artwork as a cover !! Gaahhh
Then I proceeded to waste a majority of my ever-precious online time watching videos of them instead of learning useful stuff such as drawing, languages and crafting... well at least like that I have something to talk about with my cousin and friends :)
Then around mid July my main group shifted to Super Junior, along with the once-Shawol-friend, who now had Leeteuk as her phone wallpaper, screensaver, loading screen etc etc. Though I've watched the dance video of Sorry,Sorry around a million times the year before, again, it did not attract. The only thing I knew then was they were big in numbers. 13 members in one group was insane. After entering the fandom I only knew them as SHINee's sunbaes. Then I heard Bonamana.
The music video for that had lingered on the top of "recomended videos" on youtube, almost on every Shinee video I watch, but never had the thought of watching it. After hearing the song I decided give it a chance. Which hauled be further into the black hole of Kpop.
When I watched the mv for No Other, my thought was, " Wow these guys are alot hotter than SHINee." , never thought that it would be the first sign for a change of heart. Because they have an entirely different feel.
After watching a video on variety show segment, where they have to have a meal without laughing, even when having to use weird and unusable tools to eat. Eunhyuk couldn't hold his laugh everytime a tool was revealed, and got hit several times because of that, poor guy. But the infinite adorableness blasting out of his cute laughter made the world look as if it was made with peaches. Just by that video, he automatically became a full-time bias.
On a side note there was these guys i noticed when watching Suju dances, they have a special presence when dancing, but of course, I hadn't known who was who back then, thanks to the size of the group and the fact that I like seeing them dance more that looking at pictures. In Sorry,sorry, there was this guy in sunglasses, and gloves, in Bonamana, the smooth guy in goggles with a jacket around his waist, and the one with a fake scar on one eye with a trapper hat, in No Other, the cute guy with the sweet rap. These were the only ones that caught my attention.
It was after getting to know them more that I know they were all the same person-- the one who became my bias. Can you believe it?!?
The frenzy over Hyukkie lasted half a year, and became a little subtle just lately. Because. It's BIGBANG's COMEBACK.
I'm not sure when I started to love BB and 2ne1, but I know, from the first time I heard their songs, it was definite that they were made with pure epicness. I remember when Lies was a big hit back in 2007, it stuck in my head even though I just heard it once, and just knew it was a foreign language. Kpop was not even known around my area back then (when I even thought TVXQ was japanese, since they show up once in a while, and were the "normal" singers, not popular ones. What shock I had when finally knowing the size of their fanclub lol) .
The more I listen to BigBang's songs, the more I had to admit, they are true, pure talents. Every song they have to offer, are filled with nothing but overflowing awesomeness. No matter how much I say I love Super Junior, Bigbang is always at a slightly higher place. With 2ne1, their songs were the only ones that can heal my soul with a 100% rate of succession, and are the only songs that I can listen to, 24/7 all year round without getting sick. Really.
As of current, the main groups I listen to are:
BIGBANG -- oh all my heart and soul and all the awesomeness in my life
2NE1 -- my conscious TwT
Super Junior --
SHINee -- my first love ~
Epik High -- epicness. nuff said.
Infinite -- bunch of cute little dorks
S.M. The Ballad -- such amazing voices
Other not-so-main groups, just because I hadn't have the time to listen more, but I admire them lots:
T-ara -- haven't had the chance to hear more, they're so good xD
miss A
Wonder Girls -- their title songs are addictive xD
Brown Eyed Girls --adult idols hehehee
4minute~~
B2st
TVXQ&JYJ
KARA
SNSD -- they're pretty~ but for some reason i dislike them a bit
2pm, 2am
C.N. Blue
F.T. Island ( these two bands are awesome.. I regret not being able to make time for them : /)
I think I've listed pretty much all the recent significant groups in the kpop industy here lol
Some other groups that i like for some reason:
B1A4 -- they're somewhat weird lol
ZE:A -- ah, running balls of sunshine
U-kiss -- but their title songs feels redundant ...
After School -- not Orange Caramel though, they sometime creep the shit out of me lol
Girls day -- their fast paced cute choreography had incredible sync !!
Coed School -- How often you see mixed groups? their songs are cute heheh
Okay, now for my tastes lol
I like those who have overflowing adorableness, no dorks (though some dorkiness can be accepted), has a good heart and are not too loud. Appearance usually does not matter, since I don't seem to be attracted to those with "perfect faces" ( the only few exceptions being b1a4's Jinyoung and Ze:a's moonleader and Dongjun :B). If not they'll just have to be amusing (because everyone loves some daily Kim Heechul). The only bias allowed to be a super dork and make me lmao without sounding human is Daesung xD
Now for the list~ Ultimate Bias List as of 11Mar2012~ *insert twinkling sound effects*
1 Eunhyuk
2 Daesung
3 BigSpaceStar Kim Heechul
4 G-Dragon, T.O.P., Taeyang, Seungri (because they're just badass)
5 All 2NE1 members. Coolest unnies kyaaaaa
6 Leeteuk
7 Key
8 The rest of SuJu members (with exception of Shindong, and Zhoumi. they scare me for some reason)
9 The rest of SHINee members~ I still love them, yes.
10 Inpiniteu~!!
The list actually goes on and on but I'm tired now lol.
