In case you didn't know this simply by the fact that I'm writing on a blog about K-Pop, I like K-Pop.
Quite a lot, actually.
At least 60% of my favorite music playlist is K-Pop. I own more than one K-Pop concert t-shirt/sweatshirt. A budding collection of idol group light sticks holds a place of honor upon my window sill. I probably spent a day in Seoul with Rachel taking pictures in front of the HQ's of the major Korean entertainment companies (and by "probably" I mean I did...). And, the lock screen on my phone shows off a very dapper Taecyeon.
There's no denying it. I'm a fan girl.
But, I like to think I'm also realistic.
Yes, I'll pay to go to concerts of my favorite groups. Yes, I'll throw down some cash for a few pieces of merch. But, at the end of the month, my phone bill's gotta come from somewhere.
Yes, I'll take pictures in front of the YG entertainment building. Yes, I'll probably go to that cafe owned by some idol's mother. But, at the end of the day, I don't have time (or the desire, really) to find out 2PM's schedule so I can follow them around, and the call of the relatively normal sized clothing of H&M and Forever21 in Seoul is louder than that of the trendy boutique G-Dragon likes to shop at on occasion.
I will be "a" fan. I won't be "that" fan. If you get what I mean.
And, I know Rachel agrees with me on this.
So, hopefully, with our relative levelheadedness when it comes to K-Pop, we observe things from a perspective that is somewhat normal, and sane.
But, I make no promises.
