i'm not korean, or even asian. i'm actually persian xD
my chinese friend was listening to some songs by dbsk, and she asked me if i liked to listen to songs i didnt understand, and i said "yea"
so she sent me some youtube links about DBSK, Se7en, and Taebin, and i instantly loved their music. she then introduced me to the drama "my girl" and i LOVED it.
my other friends then introduced me to more korean, japanese, and chinese music. the drama osts also got me hooked;; and now i'm even trying to learn korean, hehe XD

now, my favorite artists are dbsk, se7en, shinhwa, gazette, remioromen, younha, boa, epik high, big bang, erika sawajiri, and fahrenheit smile.gif

I'm not that into korean music. Just a couple songs here and there, and random spazz moments on random guys.
But the "interest" in Korean music or anything Korean related all started with that wonderful Autumn Love Story drama...xD

well... like most people it started with the korean dramas through a friend etc. I went to the phils watched a hilarious "my girl" series and loved it. I came back to Autralia and a friend offered a Princess Hours dvd. and through that

Princess Hours> searching for season two> Kim jung hoon > Xman

Xman was a great show cause it introduced you to heaps of korean artists.

and then it went to koyote> DBSK> super junior > heechul> Gackt

and that introduced haps of people from japanese industry but im still trying to find a show like xman.. for i still know very little about the japanese artists.
F.I.R still remans to be the only chinese artist i know and i love them. got introduced somehow by a link on youtube

i owe it alot to subbers of shows like
- coolsmurf,
- muishie,
- ginaya etc. who introduced thousands of people to kpop alike.

two very GOOD places for korean gossip etc. are
-POPSEOUL.COM AND - SHENYUEPOP.COM

sorry soo long . needed somewhere to ramble

I'm asian, but not korean..
I'm always crazy over songs in anime, but i never really like jpop.
last year, my housemates were crazy over rain, dbsk and super junior. they kept showing me xman, love letter, heechul, all the mv, concerts, etc2, but I never really interested with kpop at that time.
But this year, my new housemates [who is dbsk die hard fan] show me suju mini drama and i'm falling in luv with suju from that moment. then i started searching for all their songs, concerts and show. i luv suju.. (happy.gif)

I'm like, basically a little bit of everything except any kind of Asian at all. That I know of anyway. Lol!
My senior year of high school (I'm a sophomore in college now,) I started hanging out with three Korean guys (we went to boarding school so they lived there but were going to school in the states.) And they introduced me to a bunch of stuff. I got hooked on Se7en ( laugh.gif ) and though I still absolutely love Se7en, I started branching out on my own and "discovering" new artists. Now those guys (we are still really good friends) tease me because they say I know more about Korean music than they do and they live in the country. Heh! smile.gif

See my AVATAR? Its all because ALL ABOUT EVE.

Then it was followed by FTTS' SEA OF LOVE. That got me!! I was officially hooked.
It was followed by Clazziquai then SG Wannabe...lots more came after.

But am now in love with BIG BANG songs. I can't believe how all their songs are so addicting.

QUOTE (onimgaganda83 @ Apr 27 2008, 12:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm Caucasian and just got into k-pop earlier this year.
Odd thing is, listening to Big Bang actually has made me reconsider listening to more American hip hop and r&b. I do like r&b, but I guess I'm rather old school and lean much more towards Motown and 80's than recent hits.


~Rachel


Yeah!! Because of Big Bang, am now researching American R&B and rap. So these Americans have Big Bang to thank for!! rolleyes.gif

Am soooo not into rap rap before Big Bang happened to me. Whats with Big Bang that they got me hooked like this?? wacko.gif

I think it was because of Korean dramas.
They got me hooked with KPop. which im grateful for. :].

I think it was Phoenix first.
Eric Mun starred in there. So that's how i started liking ShinHwa.
Goong was the drama that really really got me into KPop.
There was Kim Jung Hoon & Yoon Eun Hye (former singer).

So yeap, that's it. smile.gif.

:3.... well my sister and I have been Japan addicts for as long as I can remember and, well we got hooked on Korean music when my sister saw TVXQ's tri-angle and midoyo music vids on Channel V. Since we're used to listening/watching foreign languages that we couldn't understand (plus, we get to learn the language sooner or later anyways) we went head on with it and poof! The rest is history~

I'm Asian.
My friend got me into it, I was actually doing her a favor.
She wanted me to download DBSK's debut song and performance, and I did and that's it!
I got hooked!
It's funny, because people never imagined that I'm really into kpop this much.
I dont look like I care about it, but really I do. That's why people are amazed of how much I know about it.

I heard about it from nearly all my asian friends..and everywhere i go on the web i heard it talked about and how great it was. So i check it out to see what's so great. DBSK was the first thing that i saw and they attracted me..later i know boa etc. Partly the reason i got into it is because it's a pain to find good english music that's not about sex and other violent stuff so i'm pretty stuff it with the lyrics. But i can see where you are getting at. Understanding the lyrics is really important....so now besie the artist that got me into korean music, i do'nt really listen to others. It sadden me that i do'nt understand it...so yeah slowly moving away.....but still love DBSK, just not the same.

I'm asian though....just not Korean xD

My friend is Big Bang obsessed. She let me listen to last Farewell one day and the rest is history! I just had to look for Last Farewell MV and it was so hot/cute/good/excellent/awesome that I got hooked to Big Bang too! Then i've become this Korean obsessed girl. I was cheering for Ms. Korea instead of ms. Philippines LOL.

i'm malay and luv listening to k-pop...why? i guess simply coz all of the songs are catchy...i felt that korean music such as pop, r&b, ballads are truly awesome...once you hear it yo're sure to get addicted! i had my mp3 24-7 with me and it contains 60% k-pop, 20% j-pop and 20% c-pop...i may not understand the language but music is universal...as long as the song is nice, easy listening i'm all for it! k-pop hwaiting!
