It seems that kpop is getting more popular overseas. And yes, I'm also interested about it. I listen to Korean music. And I don't see any problem...but there is a problem. My country is in the middle of Europe where Asian culture doesn't mean anything. People here are like more interested about American culture, music and etc. Korean or any other Asian language here are like bird language. No one understands, no one cares and if you like kpop, then what the hell? Are you stupid? From which planet you came?
Yes. That's true. I don't say that you'll get bullied or something, but your friends just wont understand your addiction to kpop, kdramas and dreaming about famous Korean idol.
When I started to show my interests for Korea, my classmates don't understand me anymore. Even I lost my one good friend. She wrote me a message, that liking Asian stuff isn't right for European person. Obviously, she prefers American culture and claims that this is the best. I wrote her back, that it's my life and it has nothing to do with her. From that day we don't talk anymore. What really made me mad, is that I never showed my addiction in public (in front of classmates, family or friends). She just made her opinion from internet (yes, like facebook and twitter where I posted some kpop songs). Like okay, if you don't like what you see, then scroll page down.
Another bad point of being kpop fan in small Europe country where everyone is addicted to Russian and American pop is that you wont find any people to share interests with. I only know very few...erm...actually only one person that also likes kpop and since we share our interests and agree with each other, we became close, good friends. Okay, more like sisters. yeah, G_Pororo I'm talking about you. Oh...I forgot one not so cool thing...We are from the same country, just from different cities (but distance here isn't so far...just one hour...who cares) BUT we haven't met each other yet. Well, currently she lives in other country. So thanks to the internet, we keep in touch everyday. Yes, all day all night...Urm...I think not night, since we have to sleep.
Anyway,the biggest problem is...your bias probably don't know about your country and about kpop concerts you can just dream. Also, no kpop or kdrama related shops and even no stuff to buy. No posters, no CDs, no souvenirs. Nothing. If you really want something, then you should meet ebay. Thanks to ebay, I got some stuff I really wanted.
So now you see. Being a kpop fan in my country isn't a good thing. But I got used to it.
That's all for now. Hope you liked this post. Please leave your comments below if you also want to share your life with kpop.
Thank You for reading and have a Good Day
