 Time to hear your experiences and what song got you hooked on KPOP (๑>ᴗ<๑) Maybe this video has one of the songs that grabbed your attention: |

| Got into jpop out of anime as a child. Was well into the jpop/jrock scene around age 14 when I discovered kpop on an extended cable channel with a Korean music video countdown. "Nabi" ('Butterfly') by Park Ki Young was one of the first Korean songs I discovered; amazing and underrated artist. |
 |
| I also got into K-Pop thanks to Super Junior's Sorry Sorry, haha. It was quite popular in the Philippines around 2009. I kept seeing it on a local music channel. It wasn't that far from J-Music, which I was a fan of at the time, and the guys were really good looking too, haha. I learned about Girls Generation shortly after that and I started checking out KPOP since then. I didn't become an official KPOP fan until 2011 though, when Super Junior released Mr. Simple (and Heenim had to leave for military service ã… ã… ). |
| ^_^ |
| @jetr0cks it's so amusing to me that several people got into k-pop through Super Junior; they're basically my main group now (as you may deduce from my MAL username), but they're most certainly not the first Korean group/artist I heard; I think I didn't see "Sorry Sorry" until a year or two after I was first exposed to Korean music. Nonetheless they have made quite the impression and are going strong now for over 10 years! ^^ Another song among the first Korean songs I discovered around 10 years ago below; the artist is WAX , and the song title I believe is "Don't Judge" or "Don't Curse" (if anyone who can read Hangul can confirm or correct me, it would be greatly appreciated!) ^^ |
|
| ^yes, the Korean title translates to please don't curse/don't swear (at me). What I find interesting is that the people who have posted in here so far are those who discovered K-Pop before it became mainstream, though in my case, I started listening to K-Pop just as it was getting popular outside Korea. Here's one of the videos I used to watch a lot when I was still new to K-Pop. I think it's also the first K-Pop dance I learned! |

| I'd say for me I first really got into kpop sometime around 2008-2009. I was spending the day scrolling through YouTube videos until I discovered this song.. |
 |
| Boa has been around for quite some time. I remember hearing her music once or twice early on in my kpop obsession, but I never really caught onto her style. Still, her choreo is unarguably impressive. She has a lot of talent. I always enjoy finding connections between the jpop and kpop worlds since I first got into kpop by migrating from jpop. I remember finding this video some 5 years ago and being so surprised; The Gospellers are not even well known among those who listen to jpop, but they were one of the first Japanese groups I was exposed to outside of anime (they're actually classified as an acapella group, or rather vocal based group of older guys). |

| I can't belive i haven't joined this club before omg where do i start i have a lot to share lol jet2r0cks said: I also got into K-Pop thanks to Super Junior's Sorry Sorry, haha. It was quite popular in the Philippines around 2009. Pretty much the same for me. Except I didn't stan SuJu right away. I got into SHINee when they released Lucifer but I was already an ocassional Kpop listener in 2009. I started stanning a group in 2010. But during SHINee's world tour I started checking out other groups that were popular at that time, but I mostly decided to focus more on SuJu that time and some SM artists. And the rest is history . . . |
 |
| I'm one of those people who jumped onto the kpop train after Gangnam Style became really popular. Better late than never though, right? I started out with SHINee, Super Junior, etc., but it wasn't until I watched the MV for U-KISS's Neverland that I really became hooked (that song is too catchy). Then by the time I discovered my ultimate group VIXX, I was completely sold. :D |
  |
I discovered BoA (some song where she's riding on a carousel?) but I wasn't super into Kpop until my friends showed me this! (n_n) |
 |
| Soooo I started with K-Pop way back in 2010 (good old days LMAO). I can't remember if it was SHINee - Ring Ding Dong or Super Junior - Mr. Simple -> one of those two songs were my first K-Pop Songs I ever heard (cuz of YouTube - I am an editor and many edited with those songs back than). Then I listened only like about 10-16 songs until last year September I guess. ALL MUTSUKII'S FAULT. IDK HOW BUT I GOT INTO GOT7 THEN BTS THEN MONSTA X AND THEN WE STARTED DOING MORE GROUPS AND MORE AND I FOUND THE LUV OF MY LIFE i know I will never meet him or something lmao i cry I DUNNO WHY I LUV KPOP SO MUCH NOW like back then before I started stanning those dudes and dudines I was like - " YE YE GOOD SONG, know listen to other songs cuz I don't understand anything" AND NOW I ALMOST ONLY listen to K-Pop I cry help :( Good story of how I got into K-Pop |
 Forum Set by my Secret Santa deliveries here please ⋆ |
| My story starts from 2013 i guess (?) In 2013 I was super addicted to anime and i was listening to music on youtube, and suddenly I got to the Lee Hi's Rose MV AND I THOUGHT THAT IT'S JAPANESE SONG HAHAHAHHA TILL 2015 when i started being addicted to kpop ehhhh In 2015 i was searching for some AMV's of hot boisss :'D and found that one. I REALLY LIKED THE SONG AND DOWNLOADED IT ON MY PHONE AND COMPUTER and searched who is f(x), but i didn't listen to another of their songs ಠ_ಠin winter of 2015 i watched EXO Next Door and i forgot about normal life, thank you exo thank you <3 so i think without kpop my life would be hmm bored? |
| Found out KPOP with Wonder Girl's Nobody back 2011. The song and the dance step was really famous back then in PH, like it was everyone's national anthem LMAO I even memorized the steps it's not that hard but ya know what I mean for a non kpop fan. edit: I almost forgot the holy I Dont' Care and Fire of 2NE1 LOL I still remember how famous they were here in PH. Then there's BIGBANG's Fantastic Baby another national anthem LMAO, it was played at every party you go istg even I didn't like kpop back then I keep singing this song. 2014 I found it catchy so I searched BB's songs and found Bad Boy & Let's not Fall in Love soooo good ♥u♥ but I got tired of kpop agian LMAO. Then back 2016 @MysticalPhoenix saved my life lol <3 with her posting TWICE's Cheer Up and I was like omfg that MV is sooo my type *.* I memorized TWICE's members instantly because of the different member character set up lol and the rest is history lmao. My music library is now filled with kpop songs T^T I deleted alot of english songs RIP |

| In 2011, I was watching Hetalia videos on YouTube. One of the videos I came across had the Hetalia characters dancing to Ring Ding Dong by SHINee. So, I looked up the song, and fell in love with SHINee, and have been hooked on Kpop ever since. |

| Before I was introduced to KPOP, I was always listening to English music. I never even knew that KPOP existed. During a trip to a baseball game, my friend introduced me to a KPOP video. That video was Super Junior's Sorry Sorry. That was the start of it all. I don't remember how deeply I got into KPOP but that is all I listen to ever since. It wasn't that day that I search around for more KPOP but the games I played, also had KPOP as well. Now, I've downloaded about 500+ kpop songs over the last couple of years. |
