My Friends Will Never Understand

There are so many things my friends who don't like Korean pop will never understand. 
                                        Yeah such as life. Oh well, it's okay I have friends who do know what I'm going through and we can all go through it together. I'm sure if you like kpop and kdramas you will know exactly what I mean. 

#1 When You Hear Strangers Talk About Kpop.
This is the best thing ever. I guess though this can apply to everything when you hear people talk about something you like. There is this urge to go over there and talk to them because you know it too and you have finally met someone who likes the same thing as you. The only difference with kpop is that the people who listen to it are a well hidden breed so unless they are going about repping it with merch you will never know so hearing someone talk about kpop I normally go over and talk to them about. We have to stick together. 


#2 Going Out Of Your Way To Remember All The Member In A Group  
To say that I haven't done this would be a huge lie. Let me just say, that it takes a while too especially because once you take notice in one group you take notice in another and another and now you're trying to learn all their names. On top of that you're watching old videos where all of their hair colors
are the same. So you can't tell them apart and when you finally can their hair has changed, and now you have to go back and get used to that color and remember who is who all over again. What makes this worse is that you're now trying to catch a glimpse of their face while their dancing and they keep moving so you have to pause the video. This soon becomes a hassle so you just go on google and type in the group name to see the members and it's another task in its self. Large groups always take the most time to learn. I know all the members names of Girls' Generation, but I don't know who is who.
"AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A TRUE FAN!!" 

#3 Learning The Dance To Your Favorite Songs
There is the need to learn the dance to favorite kpop songs. If you are the type to try then kudos to you because some kpop dances are freaking hard! If you are the type to succeed then super kudos because wow, you're amazing. The choreography is so good, it's too hard to try to imitate. I always end up comparing myself to them and I realize how dumb I look. Of course that never stops me from trying all the other dances. I wouldn't be a fan if I stopped trying now would I? The difference with
NU'EST "Good Bye Bye"
Korean pop and American pop is that a lot of American pop music doesn't really have choreographed dances. It's always fun to try to to their dances honestly it is. You know what I'm talking about if you tried. I'm tried, dances like "Hot Summer" by f(x) "Lucifer" by SHINee as well as "Hello" and "Ring Ding Dong"  EXO's "History" and G-Dragon and Taeyang's "Good Boy." That song I managed to do the whole dance correctly although it was hard as all hell. My friend and I didn't know whether to follow GD and Taeyang or the backup dancers. The list of course goes on and on. What dances have you tried if any?

#4 Watching Variety Shows With Favorite Idols 
So, personally I haven't watched many episodes of many variety shows, but I have watched all the episodes of every variety show that had BIGBANG in it. I've gone back into the past and watched all the shows and episodes they were in even if it was only brief or only one of them in the show's episode. While watching variety shows it allows the audience and the fans to connect their favorite groups. They get to know them on a new level. If you have ever watched a variety show you might know what I'm talking about. It's just seeing them and how they act with other people and each other, NOT in a music video. 
My first variety show was Weekly Idol with G-Dragon. It was his first time on weekly idol. It was pretty late in his career too, he promoting his album Coup D'etat so it was like 2013. Prior to this he was in a popular show Running Man and on another called Infinity Challenge. I feel like Variety Shows are the small bridge between the M/Vs they put out, and the "TV" episodes they do every once in a while and the concerts where you get to see them in real life. 
Variety Shows are everything man! 
These are just four of many things that only kpop fan will get and relate to. Sometimes being a kpop fan is just hard you know? Especially when you have friends who don't like kpop the way you do. It's so sad that my friends will never understand.

You Can't Love My Ultimate Bias...


Lord, I can't tell you how many times I thought of this man. (Not the man above) Well men. If I believed in the lord, I would have confessed already because I've sinned in my mind. Does sinning in one's mind even count though? If not, then I guess it doesn't matter. But if it was not in my mind, oh boy... 
If you're not familiar with the fandom terminology, it pretty obvious, assuming you know what bias means. In idol groups, boy and girl groups, most fans have a bias. Whoever that may be is the one person they "worship" more than the other members in the group. Just like most fans I'm head over heels in love with my many biases. I say many because I have a lot of groups that I love, but I mean who doesn't? There are biases, but then there are ULTIMATE biases. These are the ones that surpass your regular biases. Normally though the ULTIMATE bias is only one. If you have more, well then... you must have a huge ass heart. That's all I'm saying. If I went through the list of the groups that I adore, I could tell you every bias I had in that group, it would be a pretty long ass list though, and I don't want to torture you.

OKAY IF YOU INSIST!

Over to the left.. or is it the right? Underneath the "Blog Archive" and "Follow by Email" section. Whichever side of my blog they are on, is the kpop group section. It has the titles of the groups I like and listen to. I listen to some others, but not as much as I listen to these. I have a favorite or favorites out of each group. Most people have a "bias" no matter what group you like. Whether it be One Direction of Blessthefall we all have that one person out of the group we like more than the rest. DON'T LIE and say you don't. I know you do. I'm watching you... but in all seriousness. If you thought Belibers and One Directioners were insane you have have never met kpop fans, but I'm going off topic here. Of course you can have a bias in a girl group if you're a girl. That one girl you just think stands out and SLAYS the rest of them. That's her. In 2NE1 that girl for me would be Park Bom. Her voice just reaches a whole new level also she has the cutest face like... ever. In 4Minute it would be HyunA whose name you can see further down.
Before I continue I just want it to be known that you don't have to have a bias for each group you can just like them overall.

The next one...-- You know what fuck this, this list will go on forever. I'll just go onto my ultimate bias. THE NOTORIOUS okay.. well he's not notorious.. just because he smoked a blunt means nothing. Whatever! His stage name is G-DRAGON and his actual name is Kwon Ji Yong. He's from the group BIGBANG and he's the leader. Here are some pictures and everything.

This is his M/V Crooked. 
 I'm just saying if you have't fallen in love yet, you need to go to sleep wake up and look at this man again. Okay, maybe he's not your thing, that's perfectly okay, because the less people that like him the less fans he has which means at one point, he'll be just miiiiine. *Cough Cough* Excuse me I don't know where that came from. 



 Anyway, like I was saying before, he's my Ultimate Bias, which basically means that I like him above all my regular biases. If I had to make a bias list, which I do have, he would be at the top, and he is. He'll always be at the top, is what I'm saying. It's sometimes hard though sharing your bias, because you want to believe that they will always just belong to you, but I have a secret... THEY DON'T. Doesn't that suck? Don't worry, we all know in that fanfic they'll be yours... if they aren't each others. Pervert. 

I just want to let you all know... YOU CAN'T LOVE MY ULTIMATE BIAS. 


Bye~
