I started to get into K-Pop in 2018 due to the KDA Popstars Live Performance of Soyeon for the LOL World Championship.
After rewatching that Performance too many times my YouTube recommendations were pretty K-Pop heavy. With Jennies SOLO which got released around the same time I started to watch a lot of Blackpink content.
After this I warched the subbed 2NE1 content I could find. In 2020 I binged a lot of ITZY content after Parus et ITZY and Wannabe. Then I found Dreamcatcher and watched about all of their content.
In 2022 I went to my first K-Pop concert with the Sunday of K-Pop FLEX and later in the year the Berlin and Tilburg shows of Dreamcatcher’s Apocalypse: Follow Us Tour.
oh that’s cool that you got to see dreamcatcher on tour! i’d love to go to one of their shows.
my origin story is that in late 2015 someone i followed was promoting nine muses like crazy, so i gave in and listened to hurt locker. i liked it, and then i checked out the rest of their music which i loved. i started getting into lots of girl groups and was really deep in the fandom side of things for a few years.
at some point i became a casual listener, only checking in every few months to see what songs i missed. by the time dreamcatcher dropped odd eye something had brought me back (handong i guess? lol) and i’ve been keeping up with things since. i’m a lot more chill about it now though
