my being a kpop fangirl started when i watched Boys over Flowers here on the net (yes during that time it wasn't aired yet in our local channel). read articles about the Korean F4 (btw, i've watched the Taiwanese version - Meteor Garden), got curious with Kim Joon & Kim Hyun Joong, that they're from a kpop group. of course, i've easily found Kim Hyun Joong's group, SS501, coz their popular. watched their vids, perfs, interviews, etc., i haven't known who are his fellow members yet but i started to like them. i never fell in love with HJL nor HJB (we know that these 2 are the handsome ones from the group), i fell for KyuJong first then YeongSaeng.
i had a hard time looking for Kim Joon's group, T-Max, but when i finally, saw it.. i only saw MinChul & YunHwa's recent perfs singing BOF's OST 'Almost Paradise.' i did really try to dig deeper about this group, then i found out that they're considered as an underrated group but not until i found this Youtube channel, TMaxlover (now suspended T_T), with all the T-Max vids i can watch for. i feel in love with the group, then eventually found some Mighty Max along the way and founded
TMaxlove forum. to tell you the truth, it's not easy to keep such a forum alive especially when you're group is not as active as the others T_T. good thing there's twitter coz our boys have their own accounts there. :) coz of them, i was able to meet Cy & Ira. xD
as i found SS501, i also found out that hjb has a dongsaeng with the group U-Kiss (without Kiseop yet). i became their fan after watching their MVs, perfs & listening to their songs. my only biased then was KiBum but later on Alexander was added on my list. ;)
so this was 2nd quarter of 2009, Super Junior's 'Sorry sorry' is still in full blast even if their promo period was about to end then. got curious, researched and landed on a vid where Han Geng, Siwon, Leeteuk & Yesung were guests in this show Star Golden Bell. with that vid, i fell in love with Han Geng coz of his Chi-Kor accent xD. but at the end of 2009, he announced his filed lawsuit against SME, then my stupidity with suju faded.
also before the end of 2009, FT Island's sub unit FT Triple released their 'Love Letter' single. i watched them perform, fell in love with their handsome leader, JongHun. during this time, Idol Magnae Rebellion also aired where, YunHwa of T-Max & SeungHyun of FT Island are the magnaes.
SS501 (KyuJong & YeongSaeng)
T-Max (all :))
U-Kiss (KiBum & Alexander)
Han Geng
FT Island (JongHun)
yes, a lot happened during 2009 & a lot more during this 2010. :D
as my suju fandom faded, but i stuck with Han Geng, a lot added -
as 2010 entered, a lot of groups debuted like MBLAQ, Beast, CN Blue, etc. but CN Blue caught my attention coz they're from the same company as FT Island. :) i fell in love with Mr. Dimples JongHyun, he's not the typical Type O guy, he's a quiet guy with a very sweet smile (esp. when his dimples are shown).
when 2AM released their 'Can't Let You Go Even If I Die' single, i fell in love again for the nth time. i love the song & you'll know that they're not some group who only has their main singers. *rolling eyes* of course, once a group caught my attention, i always back track everything about them - vids, discography, etc.
during this year, my love for FT Island intensified, i got to watch more vids about them. but I REGRET BIG when i wasn't able to watch their concert here.. i chose the wrong group to watch but because of that con i watched i was able to meet Hesan. xD
because of my friend, Hesan, i was able to watch Rain's concert here last September, where U-Kiss is his special guest. <3 xD
when ChoShinSung made their comeback, they also became my favorite but their more active in Japan so.. thanks to twitter (coz they all have accounts) i was able to have updates about them.
i've also have Arashi, Kat-tun & Kanjani8 for j-pop & Fahrenheit for c-pop.
during 2009 & 2010, i've also been through a lot of subbing teams.. some are still there but others are on hiatus already :(.
so with the list above, faves added are -
CN Blue (JongHyun)
2AM (JinWoon)
ChoShinSung (GeonIl, YoonHak & JiHyuk)
during these 2 years, i've always been in front of my pc/lappy. so for this 2011, i'll lessen the time for fangirling. ^^ i'll try my best about this~ Hwaiting!
to my IAM, MIGHTY MAX, PRIMADONNA, STARGAZER/MILKYWAY, GENG RICE, BOICE, TRIPLE S, KISS ME families &
to the subbing teams i'm with then & now SJSubs, SJMP/3rd chapter, miracle13oys fs (only had 1 proj here), gengbaosubs, happy island subs, rocketsubs (haven't had a single proj here), superstarsubbing (my very 1st team), ftsilh0 (uploader), codeazzurro (on hiatus), time2sub, primisland (hiatus ?), foreverhee (hiatus ?) & the newest - refrain subs (for arashi) -
