i’ve already had a phase in my life where i was interested in k-pop. back then i was especially obsessed with EXO, BTS, GOT7, NCT 127, NCT U and ASTRO . i remember spending a lot of time with my best friend watching variety shows and streams, being on vlive and looking for nice pictures on pinterest. it was not really a popular interest back then at the place where i live - so i really ever talked about it with the few of my friends who also enjoyed listening to the music and watching k-content on the internet. it was a lot of fun and sometimes i would even get the chance to buy items like albums, cards and pens when i travelled to bigger cities. i would treasure these things like they were literal relics, haha.

my interest in korean hip-hop, r & b and rap was just as big if not bigger than my interest in k-pop. i fell in love with the music of artists like giriboy, dean and zico. i also listened to bewhy, kid milli, young b, penomeco and many many more … watching show me the money was such a pleasure to me, it felt so cool to see artists that i like come on the show and i would also discover new rappers through watching it. i even found a friend in uni with whom i could talk about korean rap, we are still friends to this day. the music is really good in my opinion, and listening to k hip-hop has influenced my taste in music a lot, i think.
