Yes, I have totally fallen in own self esteem. But on the plus side, hot boys!!!!

You know, I always used to think boybands were the instrument of the Devil: all those pretty, talentless boys exploiting the prepubescent

Dignity? What's that?

*whistles*

F4 is hot. I've been planning to check out their music for a while now, but I've fallen behind as I've thrown my own dignity to the wind in a different direction. ;) BUT! I angsted over revealing my secret craze for nearly three months (confessing only to catdecember - who of course encouraged me, the minx! and koalathebear) when the boyband bug bit - you are much more forthright than I was able to be!

[dangermousie]

Heh.

you are much more forthright than I was able to be!

I kept telling myself that there was something severely wrong about going nutty about an Asian equivalent of N'Sync or similar and I kept working on this post for a while now, and part of it was getting all the pics but part was 'oh no! Dare I admit my shame in public?' :P

I for one salute you for celebrating your shame! What else is LJ for but for admitting one's not so noble passions? Anyone can post about their taste in Proustian adaptations - that's easy; the tough ones are admitting your less elevated interests. In fact I think there should be a meme where you confess your most shameful interests...

[dangermousie]

meme where you confess your most shameful interests...

I think I've just admitted mine. Nowhere lower to go :P

It's funny, I was a lot more serious and elitist when I was younger. It seems I am regressing.

[lesbiassparrow]

When I was younger I was insufferable about this sort of stuff. Now I celebrate my lack of taste publicly. I think it has something to do with working with people who don't even have TVs and talk about it like it was some great virtue never to like popular culture (which irks me because it's not like they spend their evenings reading Rousseau and/or thinking great thoughts that I can see).

Heee! Welcome to the club, honey. :)

Well, you're not alone - there are definitely other *cough*NOT fourteen years old anymore*cough* fans of Asian boybands out there, and I've met some of them. After all, you know me - I'm not a giggly boy-crazy silly little girl, and yet, I still find myself throwing my dignity to the wind. At least F4 isn't as young as some of mine are. Believe me, there is a whole "thing" about Asian pop boybands, and it's biiiiig.

In my own defense, it all started with Takuya Kimura who is still a member of an extremely popular bestselling boyband. Which then led to KAT-TUN. I can honestly say that I listened to KAT-TUN first and I liked most of their album, and THEN I started watching them. Which was a rapidly downhill road. Which led to all sorts of other boybands that range from the too young to the young, to the "thank gawd they're closer to my age" - and now I'm hopeless.

Btw, wait till catdecember finds out. She loves F4!

i was not a least bit surprise to see my name in this comment. LOL

yes, i love F4. and super lucky to have met one. ;)

i dont think age is a factor with fangirlyness over them. my mom loves jerry. so does my aunt (who lives with my family in philippines, and is old-er and single too). je12_vz09 started asianhotties101 before to promote F4 and asian actors fandom..... and she likes Vic (and her mom likes Jerry, hence we made a Mom's for Jerry club for them LOL)....

aaahhh i can go on and on.

btw, dangermousie.... i love Ken. but i love F4. in general. ;)

i dont think age is a factor with fangirlyness over them.

I agree with you, of course! :) There's only the slight ick factor when some of these groups are basically jailbait...heee! F4 does not fall into this category, thankfully.

You have a very cool family. :D

as corny as it seems, Meteor Garden/F4 made me, my mom and aunts bond more. coz we spend more time talking about it in our waking life. *lol*
