My cousin was a big fan of Super Junior, TVXQ, Sister, etc, and had many kpop posters on his bedroom walls. Naturally whenever I was at his place to visit, I was enamored by cool looking posters with wild and crazy outfits and hair, 8 year old me was hooked. I got into 2ne1, girls generation, VIXX and my ults at the time, exo. Very quickly BTS debuted and I was hooked deep into kpop for years, I kept up with all the news, comebacks, nugu groups that had no mvs and the songs were only playable on niche streaming sites. Learned dances, the entire kpop fan experience. Then i just kinda died out, the market got oversaturated, the groups I like either disbanded or started making music I felt eh about. Le Sserafim and twice kept me going but after (twice) chaeyeons scandal thats kinda when I fully checked out. 2025 has been a disaster in kpop when it comes to controversy (Tarzan im glaring at you) and mixed opinions on comebacks. I want to get back into it, invest my time in lore and fun Fandom moments. But how? I don’t even know which groups to start with, I like boy and girl groups, all genres im open to. Imagine I was a brand new kpop fan, what songs would you tell me to add to a Playlist to get back into kpop. My current Playlists newest songs come from 2023, everything else is 2008-2018 so im incredibly out of the loop.
