#1 - Intro to fandom: How to be a kpop fan

I want nobody, nobody but you~
















Find it familiar? Yes! it is the lyrics from the song 'nobody' by Wonder Girls!
Kpop is now THE TREND of the decade. I became a kpop fan 3 years ago because I was fascinated by the charisma of the kpop idol groups after watching their performances on the music shows.

So, if you are new to the fandom of Kpop, fret not, because I will be giving you a brief introduction to the fandom of Kpop and some tips that might come in handy in future.



Step 1: Listen to lots and lots of Kpop songs.

Step 2: Keep yourself updated with kpop news. You need to know the latest hottest news, such as knowing which celebrity is dating or which group is releasing a new album.
(Click to go-->)DailyKpopnews & Allkpop are two popular kpop news site.



















Step 3: Have some knowledge of korean words.
Words like "o-ppa" to address an older guy(those idol group members), "An-nyong-ha-sae-yo" means hello and "Ot-toh-kae" means how, an expression of anxiety.

Step 4: Collect albums and merchandises of idol groups. As a kpop fan, supporting your favourite idol helps them to get awards eg. Best selling album of the year.























4 Easy Steps and there you go! You might ask, " Is that all to the fandom of kpop? "
The answer is NO!!!!!!! There are more to come as it is just the beginning.



But trust me, this learning journey of the kpop fandom is going to get more interesting.
