When i become their fans (Part I)

I don't know why but someone who is a kpopers always gets bullied or being judged by others, it's like being a fan of a kpop idol is something that embarrassing. 

To tell you the truth, i was one of the people who kinda judge people who like Kpop idol. At that time i was still in high school and one of my classmates was a fan of Korean idol, i forgot who she was stan, maybe Super Junior? idk. I just remember that she always bought magazines and tabloids that featured her 'oppa' and it kinda amazes me how devoted she was with her oppa, she even learns Korean Language and hangul and i was like WOW! i mean, learn a new language and it's alphabet is not something easy, so i was super impressed and because of that, i kinda learn to not judge others. Because you know what, when I've finally become a kpop fan, i too also self-taught myself korean language and hangul just so i could understand what my fav said and no need to wait for my fav drama to be subbed. When i thought that being a kpop fan is an embarrassing thing turns out it gives me a new skill. 

I'm not a k-pop fan at that time but I'm an avid drama lover. I almost watched all kind dramas from my own country, Indonesia, also from Taiwan (Return of the Pearl Princess, Meteor Garden, etc), Mexico (Carita de Angel, Marimar, etc), Japan (One litre of tears T.T) and of course Korean dramas. I still remember that my first Korean drama is My Love Patzi, Rules of Love and Full House. So i already familiar with Korean culture, it just i still don't get the 'k-pop' thing until i was in college. One of my friends is a big fan of BIGBANG. She always tried to introduce me into BigBang, like always told me how hard it was for GD when he was still a trainee created many songs, etc and etc, because she's so persistent i kinda give up and try to watch one of BB's song and she recommends me to watch 'Haru-Haru' MV. 

I kinda shock because it's really not like what i thought, they're not dancing and wearing the same clothes (this is one of the reasons why i don't really like kpop) and i love the song. So after that, i kinda change my mindset and try to listen to other group songs - Shinee, 2PM, 2AM, T-ARA, SNSD, 2NE1, i think i almost listen to all 2nd generation kpop group, but my favorite is BB and 2NE1 so in 2011 I officially become a YG stan and a VIP (Not a Blackjack but i love 2NE1 girls, all of them is my girl crush). 

My Favorite Duo! SSang Park! 

As a YG stan ofc i followed all their activities and in 2013, Bom and Dara created SSang Park TV and i religiously watch all the episodes and that is the first time i notice Seung Yoon when they invite him in one of SSang Park TV episode. After that episode, i kinda curious and immediately search about him and found out that he also YG artists!!!! I never noticed him, what a bad YG stan i was. 

I also watch the video when he covers 2NE1 song 'Lonely' in Yoo Inna Volume Up with 2NE1( Kang Seung Yoon 'Lonely' 2NE1), listen to his debut song 'It Rains' and all his song covers (This will always be my first and favorite covers from him Kang Seung-yoon - Walk With Me ) and YUP!!!! LOVE his voice. I also found out that he'll be in YG's survival show, WIN: Who Is Next and i was like, 'okay i'm gonna watch it!' and not knowing because of that simple actions and curiosity (searching about seung yoon and decided to watch WIN) lead me to something really really really precious...

TBC to part II.
