Okay.. So I'm a KPOP fanatic for so many years now (Let me check... it's been 8 years I think??? MEMORY GAP!) And by that, there are times na I'm obsessed with the music and there are times na hindi gaano. Maybe because I was preoccupied by other things.
Being a KPOP fan is not that easy. As a KPOP fan for many years now, I grew fond with the Korean culture also. And by that, I tried learning their language. You will notice naman pag ang isang tao is a true-blue-KPOP-fanatic. Not because pareho na sila mag-dress ng mga koreans. It's because we can "READ" and write Hangul.
Why did I emphasize on the word "READ"? It means na almost all Kpop fans just know how to read Hangul but don't understand it. And kasama ako dun sa almost na yun. So because of that, we can sing in a Noraebang (Korean KTV).
Before, I always find myself weird kasi walang maka-relate sa aking Kpop fandom. Kami lang ng friend ko na si Angie ang nakaka-relate. We will always talk about DBSK kasi that's our fave before. Siya DBSK tapos ako Shinhwa. I even made my Kpop fandom as my school projects eh. Like nung sa Advertising class ko, I used my being a fangirl and relate my problems as a Kpop merchandise customer who always look for a cheap Kpop merchandise. Kaya yung prinopose ko na business is yung Asian music store, which caters to Kpop, Cpop, and Jpop. Pero I still remember kung paano ako criniticize ng aking aking professor about my proposal. Pero luckily, I still got a high grade (if I'm not mistaken, 90+ yung grade ko dun). And then come Creative writing class. I'm so excited with this one because I wrot my first ever Fan fic. And because I was so obssessed with Shinhwa, I use Andy Lee as one of my main characters.
And now, ang dami ng fan girls and fan boys. Siguro almost 70% dyan ang mawawala once nag-pass na ang Hallyu wave dito sa Philippines. And I just think, sila yung mga pumapatol sa mga Kpop haters, which I dont like. Because 1. Hindi matatapos yung away pag pinapatulan nila. 2. Nagmu-mukha lang tayong pathetic.
I just want the old days. Yung parang pag Kpop fan ka, ang sosyal mo kasi gumagastos ka ng malaki just for your fandom. Nowadays, pag sinabing Kpop fan ka, sasabihin nila "ay.. Jologs!" which hurts me.. a lot! kasi hindi naman kami jologs in the first place. saka ang dami ng naglipanang mga Kpop wanna bes sa tabi tabi. Ang dami ng naka Kpop fashion. Naglipanana sila. as in! tapos parang ang alam lang nila is yung mga english lyrics nung songs. Hindi naman nila makanta ng buo yung song. Yun bang ang alam lang is "Sorry sorry sorry" or di kaya "I don't care eh eh eh eh.." or "I want Nobody nobody but you!" What the heck! give me a break!
Anyways.. That's just my thought....
And one thing pa pala.. I just remember this. Yung mom ko, nakakatuwa kasi ayaw niya sa Super Junior kasi kailangang titigan mo muna daw ng matagal bago mo masabing guwapo. Compared daw sa UKISS na isang tingin palang guwapo na. We always argue with that. Tapos ang sympathy niya, lagi nasa UKISS. Feeling daw niya mino-molestiya yung mga members. Sagot ko naman, "Ma, di mo ba alam sa SM entertainment, kung saan naka sign yung Suju, binubugbog naman sila dun." which is true naman daw. Pero my mom still has her sympathy sa UKISS.. AISH!!! pero don't get me wrong. I'm a UKISS fan although hindi ako makakapanood ng concert nila kasi inuna ko muna pagka-E.L.F. ko.
Okay.. Till next time.. Annyeong!!!
