I’m not actually a K POP lover since I’m more of a K DRAMA fanatic. It’s been a month when I got converted into one and it’s literally the first time I got hooked with a Korean boy band for 25 years of existence. My friends used to convince me to listen to BTS and EXO and honestly, I liked a few of their songs but it just stopped there.
Last September 28, we held our family reunion and my cousin (should I thank her or curse her?) showed me these 7 guys in which some members don’t look Korean. And that’s how it started. Took me a night to love them. THAT QUICK. So thought I’ll enumerate what the freak happened and now I’m an Ahgase for the love of God.
To tell you honestly, my bias is Kim Yugyeom..
and all 6 comes second (Jae Beom/JB, Mark Tuan/Mark, Jackson Wang/Jackson, Park Jinyoung/Jinyoung, Choi Youngjae/Youngjae, and Kunpimook Bhuwakul/BamBam).
I love how manly they all look and for Pete’s sake they’re not skinny. I love how heterogeneous the group is and it makes all international fans united. PLUS you get to see different types of HANDSOME in Korean and AmeriThaiKong (America, Thailand, and Hongkong nationals).
Okay Jackson you bias wrecker.
Kidding aside, I used to listen to other bands and usually have a hard time trying to distinguish who sung a specific part of the song (or maybe I was just not that too interested). I love how all of them have unique voice qualities and I see myself trying to pinpoint their parts in a song which is so easy for me.
JB: Sexy YJ: Powerful YG: Sweet (ugh my smol bean) JY: Powerful but endearing M: On point rapping B: Boy next door feels (adorable) J: Damn powerful rapping
I seldom see cute and handsome guys with sense of humor. I always see myself laughing just by watching their interviews and shows. If there’s one thing to describe them in tagalog: “Ang kalat nila.” (They’re messy but in a good way you know what I mean?) I love how they can be themselves on screen and i sincerely hope and trust they’re still the same off cam.
I love the fact that they choose to be random with Music and they don’t focus on one genre alone. Their songs can make you dance (even if you’re not talented to do that), cry, mad, heart broken, happy, and just wanna chill while sipping your wine. They’re individually talented and they write their songs. Damn girl!
They know different languages due to race diversities. I appreciate that majority of them knows how to speak English and would like to commend the rest for trying. They can connect well with the fans due to absence of language barrier.
There’s this one time JB asked for security when a fan fainted. PJY helped a lady from being accidentally hurt by a camera man. YG assisted a woman get her luggage. Jackson scolded a guy for pushing a girl. And so on. You can really see how selfless they can be. You know that they’re genuine individuals since they’re naturally like that. I also witnessed how Mark cried because of the fan video prepared during the #KeepSpinninginManila tour. Awwww
I love how they bond on and off cam. They tend to be clingy yet savage at the same time. I love how they support each other especially with their passion in music. They seem like a cute happy family (JB as the daddy and PJY as the mom). Adorable. <3
I have an endless list right here and there’s a lot of catching up to do since it has been just a month when I started supporting them. Funny how I became an Ahgase overnight right after their sold out ticket selling last September 2019. I knew I needed to see them too because I have a feeling I’ll stan them for a very long time. So I looked for ways to secure a ticket and BAAM! Upperbox A last October 26 and also my first time attending a legit concert ever. I’ll be part of VIP Standing for sure next time.
